Posted by Tammy Rowse | March 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great Lawyers, Great Result...

My son had gotten into an accident during one of the snows this past winter. There were many accidents that had occured in that timeframe and even though he was only going at a very minimal speed on a side street, he received a ticket. Many people had said with the road conditions that the officer di...dn't have to give him a ticket. I contacted Jackie's law office and they were more than happy to go to court to represent my son and see if the ticket could be dismissed because of the road conditions etc. They were very helpful in explaining what documents they needed before going to court and what the process was for court. I received a call after Jessica had gone to court and she was able to get the ticket dismissed. I was very pleased with Jessica. I would call on Jackie or Jessica again if I ever found myself or a family member in need of a lawyer. You cannot go wrong with hiring Jackie Rokusek's Law Firm and the people who work there. Jackie and Jessica are great to work with on any type of case. I cannot say enough good things about them or their office staff.

Jackie helped me out of a tough situtation

Jackie is a great attorney .I was looking at a felony , losing my job and jail time . She got it down to a misdemeanor and I was able to keep my job . She kept me out county jail and got me into a work release program which is way better than being locked up 24/7 ,so I was able to keep working a...nd keep my employer happy. She is a good communicator , she answers emails and phones calls in a timely manner . I was just luck that I found Jackie and I am so glad that I did , I got to keep my job and my life that I had before I did something very stupid .

Great Attorney, Great Person

I hired Jacquelyn to defend me for a misdemeanor case. She helped to make the process quick and easy for me. She was able to appeal to the prosecutor for an informal diversion option, to which I had to follow simple guidelines, to which I had the charges dropped. She was very enjoyable to be around a...nd stopped everything she was doing to help you out because she truly cares.

Professional and skilled attorney

Jackie is a highly professional and skilled attorney. I was able to meet with her within a day of contacting her firm. She spent almost two hours discussing my case even prior to hiring her. She is very professional, empathetic, and non judgemental. She put my case together in an efficient manner and... gave me honest realistic options. She planned for every outcome and situation. Ultimately, she was able to get a dismissal for my case. I highly recommend her to anyone who is facing a difficult situation.

Excellent Lawyer

Jacquelyn Rokusek represented my case, over a year ago. Deciding whom is the most knowledgeable about the law and whom will know your case backwards and forwards is a difficult and overwhelming decision, during a stressful time. Ms. Rokusek was referred to me by a friend. The only review I had at th...at time was, "She is very professional." I met with her, and from day 1, I knew she had integrity, empathy, expertise and most importantly, honesty. She is the type of person that will hear you out, respond to ALL of your questions (small or big) promptly and never once made me feel like she was too busy. The one thing I respected the most about her was that she always was forward, direct and never gave me false hope. During a stressful time, this is what you need most in your legal representation. Ms. Rokusek knows the LAW and I would refer her to anyone that I know, and would use her again. If you are like I was, and a layman to the law, Jacqueline Rokusek will guide you all of the way and assure you, you are definitely in an EXPERT'S hands. Jamie

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.
