He Lost His License back in 2011 for 5 Years, for Professional Misconduct

DO NOT HIRE this drunk lawyer. This man needs to be arrested. I will be filing a civil suit…. Worst attorney EVER. If I could give NO star I would .

Best lawyer I know

After being referred to Mr. Jones by a friend I knew after our first consultation he was very professional, knowledgeable, experienced,highly qualified lawyer with a great reputable position in any and all cases. I immediately retained him and to this date throughout last 15 years knowing him, consu...lting him and won all my cases he took on winning with great merit!! I know I can always just pick up the phone and without any hesitation immediately gets back with me on any issue or legal law matter . He showed strong intelligence, respect, integrity and knowledge in everything . Even to this very day I know I can efficiently depend on and rely on his words of law and experience!!...His reputation speaks for itself ..very satisfied with every case he won for me and any consulting was handled in confidential and professional matters . I even recommended him to my family and friends that he also took on winning their cases !!.. I personally highly recommend Mr. Jones to anyone with any legal matter of the courts !!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Avvo’s rating system is such a joke. Shannon Jones is a former General Sessions judge, and is one of the best, most knowledgeable attorneys in West Tennessee. His rating really doesn’t do him justice. As a lawyer, I know who I’d hire if I were in trouble, and I wouldn’t hesitate in hiring Shannon Jones. He’s a 10.0 for sure."
