I endorse this lawyer without reservation. Mr. Lackey is one of the most creative, resourceful lawyers I have met. I pride myself on having a lot of drive and energy in driving my cases. However, I feel he motivates me and others to channel our energy positively to defend people who would otherwise go without representation.

There are two types of lawyers in South Florida, lawyers who visit their clients and those that don't. Mr. Lackey will visit you where ever you may be. I met Mr. Lackey at the Krome "ICE" detainment center while waiting to see our respective clients. We started a conversation and it was abundantly clear that Mr. Lackey is extremely well versed in both Immigration and Criminal law, a combination that is rare to find. He was so knowledgeable, I referred my client to Mr. Lackey for his incredibly complicated Immigration matter. He could not have been in better hands. Since we have worked together on a Capital case, and after hours of deposition's he insisted that we again visit the scene. It could not have been more fruitful. Mr. Lackey goes the extra mile for each of his clients as well as his colleagues. He is a rare breed and I cannot endorse him enough. -Matthew Karim Esq.

Joe is an amazing legal advocate. He presents arguments in a crystal clear way. He is very thorough and explains the most compelling reasons of why the court should agree with him and the court usually does. Joe is a natural talent.
