This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

My two ciatations were dismissed!

I asked a question regarding two citations I received by an officer out of jurisdiction, Mr Locket was the only Jacksonville attorney to respond. I gave him my business, and the citations were dismissed; confirming his expertise in his reply to my initial question.

Absolutely the BEST!!!!

Lee Lockett is just an amazing lawyer. He represented me in a very difficult case. He made me feel comfortable and at ease during the entire process. He listened to my side and was never judgmental. He’s an exceptional attorney one I would highly recommend to anyone. He explained everything that he w...as doing the entire time was very upfront and honest and at the end of the day the outcome was better than anybody could’ve imagined. He fought for me which most lawyers won’t do. Could not have been more pleased with his services. If anyone is ever in need of an attorney Lee Lockett is the person to call. He is truly one of the best!!!! Thank you Lee for all you did for me. I can’t thank you enough.

Simply the best

I had several complex criminal traffic charges related to DUI. I researched and talked to my friends in law enforcement and attorneys about who was best to approach. I kept hearing Lee's name. He is one of the region's foremost authorities on current DUI laws and constantly updating himself on cha...nges in law and educating himself for his clients benefit. I can say without hesitation, the outcome of my case was the way I hoped. He and his office kept me calm when I was anxious and acted highly professional every step of the way. If you are like me, before you choose a lawyer look at the client reviews. What I found more impressive was his peer lawyer reviews. I am very happy I met Lee and his help to me.

Great Attorney-Highly Recommend

I received a speeding ticket in Jacksonville, FL, that Attorney Lockett handled very efficiently. He took care of the court date, showed up to court for me and I did not receive any points or need to take a driving class. His staff is very kind and super helpful. I am a very busy person and having Lo...ckett Law to be there for me to handle the extra things involved is a blessing. I will defiantly use Lockett Law again, as well as recommend him to everyone.

DUI

Folks, Lee is a First Class lawyer. His staff is First Class. I never had to worry for one moment. I didn’t have to bug them for information because they kept me informed throughout. It’s the little things that make the biggest difference in a DUI case and that’s where he stood out and made a huge di...fference. I’m also glad someone reference Lee to me because the outcome could of been far worse.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"If you've been arrested for a Jacksonville DUI, you need Lee on your side. I've seen Lee winning cases in the courtroom for 20+ years, and I respect his tenacity and his power to persuade jurors. Lee is respected throughout the entire state for his DUI expertise, and any lawyer who is serious about DUI defense has either read Lee's articles in the Florida Defender magazine or seen him lecture at the annual DUI seminar, "Blood, Breath & Tears." Lee is an excellent DUI lawyer dedicated to his client's success."

"Lee is a zealous advocate for his client. Not only does he take the time to constantly keep up on the law, he also keeps up on the relevant scientific fields that pertain to DUI cases. It is often the science of the blood and breath tests and knowing how to attack the test results that determines if a case is won or lost. It is hard to find any better lawyer in Florida than Mr. Lockett. I recommend him highly."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
