Buyer beware!

Hiring her has been the most horrifying decision my family could have made. She has had my fiances case since the mid of Feb, & hasn't spent more than 1-1 1/2 hrs actually talking to him about the details. According to her, and i quote, she "doesn't need to talk to him, bc she has the police reports... right in front of her" WHAT!? He told her specifically when he paid her & signed the contract to keep me & his mother up to date with regards to his case. Guess how many times she's called us with an update? ZERO- In fact every time I called her to get an idea of what was going on, she treated me like an inconvenience, & spoke to me as if I had no business bothering her in the first place. Most recently we had a telephone conversation, after I found out some VERY IMPORTANT info about the case elsewhere, I was furious that she had not filled him in or spoken w him about it before his next court date. Her response? Write a letter to my fiance (her client) & fabricated the details of the conversation-- Because he is still not WORTH a phone call, or visit... She sat silently while the DA worked out a super sweet deal w the codefendant, didn't bother to say a thing to her "client" & then offered my fiance the scraps- She has done absolutely NOTHING in his defence & showed absolutely NO interest in his well being. Not to mention, we have caught her in several lies so far, Absolutely unexpected from someone you hire to defend your rights!! At this point we aren't really sure who she's working for, her paid clients- or the DA!

Expungement

Jacquelyn expunged my felony within a month and half. Was very communicative through the whole process, and her prices did not break my bank!

I could not have had anyone better on my side

I had several cases with my ex-wife and I worked with two different attorneys in those cases. The two attorneys I worked with promised to look into details of my cases before I hired them (Both of those attorneys were well known ones). But, after they received the payment, they did nothing on my case...s and I lost all the cases they handled. If you have complicated cases, it is really important that the attorney you hire is willing to look into details and collect the evidences for you. For my recent cases, Jackie was the ONLY attorney who shared time, collected evidences, and fought for me. I worked with her in 2 different cases and she WON the both cases. Jackie knows her way around the court room and works very hard to get you the best outcome. She gave me my life back and I will FOREVER be thankful for the fight Jackie fought for me in my cases and I could not put a price on how much I truly feel I owe. Thank you, Jackie!

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.
