One Word---- "Blessing"

Earl and Stacey have both been a blessing to my daughter and I. Earl and Stacey are very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. They respond to requests in a timely manner and really show respect and compassion. They don't make empty promises, they will not paint a pretty picture just to assure ...or pacify you. There is always a clear, straight line of what can be done and what can't be done- Earl will always advise you to follow court orders and not to let anger and emotions get in the way of the law and to always fight your battles in court because he will go to war for you. And he means that. My divorced was finalized 12/2015 but my battle was not. My ex-husband and wife fought me nail and tooth over everything with no legitimate reasons. Always taking me to court...and every single time Earl had my back without question or hesitation. He would go into the courtroom before the judge and defend me as if he was personally going through it himself. Earl is very strategic. He always has a plan even when you are not aware of that plan he is VERY aware, and coordinates each step meticulously. Earl represented me in court again the other day and every one was amazed with his performance. Earl is concise and very powerful with his words and body lanuage leaving no stone unturned. Earl consistently pushed back on the opposing attorney and did not back down, swaying the Judge to allow certain motions that she wasn’t going to allow earlier. After seeing Earl in action for the first time my boyfriend kept saying: "Earl is a cold mother f-er, he really knows his sh-t." "Their attorney didn't stand a chance, he is way out of her league." "He set the bar for any attorney and if I ever need an attorney I'm moving to Texas to get Earls a**!" I have total confidence in Earl and the judgement exceeded my expectations. I was granted things I didn't even ask for because Earl fought for me! And for the first time in over a year, I have peace. 1000lbs was lifted off my shoulders the other day and I have Earl and Stacey to thank for it. If you are looking for a team who has a heart for the client, a team who is reliable and will never leave you hanging, a team who will fight for you and with you EVERY STEP of the way... Jackson Law is who you need. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Earl.

A true blessing

I obtained Earl Jackson as my attorney to get my child back, I am in another state so I had to search high and low to find someone that I felt could help me in such a stressful time of my life. Someone I could trust being so far from me, after all the future of my daughter was in the hands of this pe...rson I had never met face to face but only spoke with over the phone. After talking with him and listening to what he had to say I knew he was my only hope. He assured me he was the man for the job and he proved himself to be that plus much much more. Earl Jackson is not just an attorney, this is his livelihood, he jumps in head first and goes to work to help you get the justice you deserve. Everyone in his office is so friendly and courteous, Stacey was absolutely amazing in every way. Though I was several hundred miles away they made me feel so comfortable and gave me a sense of security because I knew though I wasn't there with my daughter while she was gone she wasn't alone because she had these amazing people fighting for her with me and she didn't even know it. I will forever be grateful for what this man has done for myself, my family and especially my little girl. I recommend Earl Jackson to ANYONE who needs a strong, confident and overall caring sincere attorney to help with any family law manner. Times like these are difficult enough without having to worry about if you have the right representation, with this firm there is zero worry. I'm blessed and will never forget the call from Stacey saying "are you ready to come get your little girl?" The most amazing call a mother could ever receive. Thank you thank you thank you Earl and Stacey again for all you have done to make our family whole again.

The man who can!

I first met Earl Jackson when he worked my divorce. Now he and his assistant Stacy are more than just a legal team, I consider them to be my close friends . Earl and his assistant Stacy were beyond helpful at a time when I was a young man going through what was the worst time of my life Earl did his ...absolute best to make sure I was going to get his A-game.He made sure I understood what was going on. He made certain that I was comfortable with what was happening with my case. He fought for everything I wanted. When I tell you my divorce was difficult just imagine trying to carry an ice cube across the sun and keeping it cold. In the end I got more than I thought I could. Later Earl and I teamed up again for the custody case for my son. Listen if you want someone who will treat your case like it's theirs then you want Earl. Earl Jackson took my case personally. When I felt like I couldn't go on Earl encouraged me to sleep on it and call him in the morning. You see he truly wanted to help me get my child. He didn't want to see me quit and I knew it wasn't about money. It was about helping put a young child into a better situation, I can say that he went into that court room and swung for the fence. He told me he would get the job done and he more than delivered on his word. I will never forget how hard he and stacy worked for me and my family. I'll always consider Earl and Stacy as close as family. You will not be disappointed. Work with Earl and Stacy. Thank you Earl and Stacy. You got me my baby and made my family complete.

Extremely Happy Father, Thanks to Earl Jackson!

Highly recommended and experienced lawyer! Hands down the best decision for my child custody case was hiring Earl Jackson! After hearing so many opinions about how tough it would be for a Father to win custody in Texas and almost feeling as if the odds were impossible, Earl and his pa...ralegal, Stacey Malone, quickly helped calm my fears and doubts. Both Earl and Stacey made themselves available and guided me every step of the way in preparing my case, preparing for mediation, and our final hearing. The results were outstanding! As long as you are upfront and honest, Earl will let you know if you have a good case and the odds of winning. Thank you so much!

I was not only happy with my divorce I was comfortable, relieved, and thankful. I would recommend this group hands down. It's a hard time and you should go to someone t...hat is only interested in what is right for you.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked on several cases with Earl and he has always done a great job. He is knows Family Law very well and I often call on him for specific advice on nuance matters in Family Law. He also is a very good litigator who handles himself well in the courtroom. Earl is well regarded by both Judges and opposing counsel. When I was hospitalized a few years ago he was the first person I chose to handle my family law cases and he did a very good job for me and my clients. Earl also does a good job in mediation and we have worked on mediation cases together. He is very good at explaining complex legal issues to clients so they can understand the issues and make a rational decision."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. Having fought against and along side Mr. Jackson, I have come to know him well. I know that he takes the privilege of being a lawyer very seriously. He believes in justice and will tirelessly work to achieve it, no matter how hard she tries to hide herself. In addition to law, he is a well-read student of history, politics and philosophy. He fears no lawyer or judge. He inspires confidence. Mr. Jackson has the unique skill of being a fierce advocate while remaining the gentleman. He thrives on getting great outcomes for his clients. If you are Earl Jackson's friend or client, he will go to the ends of the earth for you. If you are on the other side of Earl Jackson, you probably better go to mediation."
