Do NOT HIRE!

Put on my case after my previous lawyer moved and he was put on my case by Corey Cohen. Was poorly represented, always not having my documents when I had sent them over and over... Showed up late to multiple hearings and late on my last hearing that sent me to prison. Did not fight for me at all, jus...t sat back and relaxed while I tried myself to fight and get a reduced sentence.... The state against me even felt I got harsh sentence and even asked for lower probation which my own lawyer should have?!!! After being put in jail, lawyer never contacted me once to appeal or anything? Just very uncaring lawyer unprofessional ... Simply a waste of money as my first time ever getting in trouble this guy didn't care at all... do not hire!

Great for HOA disclosures and violation letters

I am an HOA board member and decided to hire an attorney for sending violation letters and reviewing some disclosures that we had issues with homeowners. Blair was very responsive and provided service with a fair price. I highly recommend his service!

Very professional and helpful all the way along

We hired Blair under a very urgent situation several years ago because an industry insider recommended Blair to us. We were told he is very nice and experienced. Blair helped us through the case very smoothly. After a few years, we came across an issue related to that case and hired Blair again. He i...mmediately offered help . That issue was not easy to handle but he never gave up and was very responsive and professional. In the end with his persistent efforts, the issue was resolved. We recommend Blair because he is a very nice person in the first place. He really cares about his clients and doesn't just work for money. Secondly he is very experienced and sophisticated. He gave us very good advice during the whole process and his insights were proved to be right consistently. He will be very valuable to those in need of help.

Great at what he does!

Blair represented me through an incident having to do with administrative law. He knows what he is he is doing and he is great at what he does! He was honest and caring through the entire process. I highly recommend!

One of the best lawyer in Orlando

I had a rather messy situation with my employer last year regarding my contract and needed a lawyer. A lawyer friend of mine suggested to contact Mr. Jackson. We had an initial meeting where Mr Jackson listened, took notes and asked questions. On our second meeting he explained my options and made su...ggestions on how we should proceed. I hired him there because he was very clear, concise and forthcoming. The case resulted in my favor thanks to him. I highly recommend him if you need a lawyer for employment and labor disputes.
