Domestic/Theft

Back in 2009 I got charged with theft under 500. At this time Lyle Jones was an public defender. So the judge gave me him. After 6 months of going to court Mr. Jones got it where I could handle my case outside of court. I didn't have to pay court cost or fines. In February 2011 I got charged with a d...omestic with plenty of witnesses sayin I did it. After going to court two times Lyle got it dismissed and I didn't have to pay fines or court cost.

He really helped a lot

Mr. Jones represented me in my driving on suspended license charge. I didn't know my license had been suspended, but when I was pulled over, I was arrested. Being from out of state, I dreaded making another trip to Tennessee. Mr. Jones took care of the matter for me, actually getting the charge ...dismissed after I had my license reinstated--without me having to come back.

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.
