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!

Professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

After the initial consultation with Attorney Rokusek, my husband and I felt extremely confident in her ability to represent my defense. Throughout the duration of her tenure, Jackie remained confident, yet forthright about our expectations. My only prior experience in this case was with a public defe...nder, who left my husband and myself very disillusioned with the judicial system. Thanks to Attorney Rokusek, I have a successful outcome and brighter future to look forward to. I highly recommend Jackie as a qualified, intelligent, and capable attorney.

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.

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.

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.
