Posted by Mayra | June 23, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Superb, Smart, Knowledgeable and Communicative WITH PHENOMENAL RESULTS..

I retained Mr. Thornton when I was charged with a DWI. Mr. Thornton made me feel comfortable from day one. He was both honest and optimistic about my case. He told me the truth, the worst case scenario, then ultimately fought for and achieved the best case scenario. He made sure every move we made wa...s in my best interest and within my comfort zone. He always returned phone calls and emails promptly and took the time to explain every step of every court date, fee, charge and outcome. He made me feel taken care of and respected in a difficult situation. He never once judged me or made me feel badly about what happened. He respected confidentiality to the utmost degree and was always professional with me. I mostly appreciate his honesty about the potential outcomes and his willingness to fight for my case, regardless of how much time it took. Needless to say my case was reduced from a DWI to Duty on Striking Structure, Fixture, or Highway Landscaping. I would highly recommend Mr. Thorton to anyone in need of an outstanding professional criminal defense attorney! He will make it happen!!

Excellent results!

Mr. Thornton did an excellent job of guiding me through the process of appealing a municipal court verdict. This can be a somewhat anxiety provoking experience for someone with no prior contact with the court system, and Mr. Thornton's calm demeanor and good advice went a long way to reassure me as ...the process unfolded. We obtained a positive outcome by proceeding in the manner he recommended, so I can only be pleased with his services.

Robert was outstanding and knowledgeable. He knows precise outcomes and possibile outcomes and explains out all options. He was able to get my ticket dismissed and will definately be my lawyer for any future issues. Thanks Robert!

Excellent knowledge with 5 star service!

Robert was my defense attorney for a domestic misdemeanor case, his great knowledge and service had made the best possible outcome for me. I'm very grateful for his dedication. He even answers the phone himself, not like a lot of lawyers leave you to answering machine or front desk. I would recommen...d him to friends and families without a hesitation. Thank you Robert!

Outstanding Lawyer

Robert represented me in a Criminal Case and I am very satisfied with his job. He dismissed my criminal case and he managed to handle it very well when I didn't think it was possible to get the case dismissed. If you are looking for a Outstanding Lawyer, he is the one.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Robert's passion is criminal law. His attention to detail; his knowledge of the law and persistence has resulted in outright dismissals, acquittals and some just over the top good deals. He is very careful and astute. His arguments are persuasive. Robert Thornton was opposing counsel in one of my cases. His attention to detail and aggressive posture impressed me very much such that he became a part of my team. He is of counsel to the Jackson Law Group. He has assisted me in several matters - especially, high end complex litigation. As a result, he has become well known to the bar."
