Excellenct representation

Jackie will help you navigate the ugly waters that are our criminal justice system. She helped me get through my dismal odyssey with calming and informative advice. I was so happy I hired her.

Great results from Jacquelyn Rokusek Law Office!

I had received a citation with a hefty fine over a law that I was unaware of, license plate covers, until I was stopped for it. My record was clean and I think I should have received a warning instead of a ticket. I contacted Jacquelyn Rokusek Law Office and she went to court on my behalf and was abl...e to get the citation dismissed by the state. I was very pleased with her attention to my citation and the great results she was able to obtain in court. I would recommend her for whatever your needs may be, whether a citation to anything more serious. She answered all my questions and responded in a timely manner to them. She is an excellent lawyer, very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I would call Jacquelyn Rokusek Law Office again without hesitation should I ever need legal services again.

Happy with my decision in hiring her!

I retained Jackie a few months ago to represent me in a couple of cases. She is easy to work with, answers all my questions in a timely manner and has done her best to give me the best outcome possible. She has worked in this community a long time, she knows a lot of the other attorneys, judges and p...rosecutors. She always stays on top of what's going on with my cases and has always been prepared before any hearing. Having to retain an attorney and being caught up in a legal mess is not something you hope to have to do but it's nice to have someone like Jackie to get you through it.

Outstanding, Skilled & Empathetic Attorney

In my opinion, not only is Ms Rokusek's talent and knowledge impressive as an attorney, but she blends empathy, understanding and compassion when dealing with her clients. Likewise, she is extremely capable in the courtroom as a skilled litigator. It's obvious that she has a good rapport with the jud...ges (which helps immensely) and other attorneys. She and her staff are prompt in keeping clients updated, answering questions and returning phone calls. I recommend her services without hesitation.

Posted by Les | July 20, 2015 | Expungement

Going on with our life!

My wife just started working at a business that unknown to her was not doing business in exactly all aspects to the law. The police arrested everyone on site. This arrest, even though released with no charges has followed her for years. Jacquelyn helped us get this expunged and now we can go on with... our lives!

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.
