Best Lawyer in Dallas

Mr. Earl Jackson, represented me against a former attorney that I hired to help me during my divorce. the previous attorney did me so wrong (my belief is that I was sold out), I had lost everything and came out negative and owing my Gold digger ex wife after the divorce, I had no idea how that had h...appened since I owned all the real estate that was taken from me before my marriage. I hired Earl Jackson to sue my previous attorney. Mr. Jackson won the Law suite and I also hired Mr. Jackson to collect on the Judgment. We are currently in process of collecting the Judgment. Mr. Jackson is very thorough and swift when it comes to serving justice. I highly recommend Earl Jackson and his legal team, best lawyer in Dallas per my Experience.. ***Ten Stars to Earl and his Team*** Thank you Earl. RL

The Best of the Best in DFW Family Law

I first came to Earl and Stacey during a very tough time in my life. The ex-wife had filed for a divorce and was seeking to take most of my business and assets, as well as our daughter. I called the Jackson Law Group on a Wednesday afternoon, and from the very first conversation I had with Stacey ove...r the phone, to my personal meeting with Earl, to my final trial, I was absolutely blown away by Earl's prowess in the field of family law. I struggled at first to properly describe my situation to Stacey, but she understood me perfectly and put my mind totally at ease, as she has been through similar situations herself. Earl is a true mountain of a man, both in his office and in the courtroom - he commands the space and works tirelessly for every client that comes through the door. Earl was very honest with me from the beginning. He said that he believed my case was strong, and that he would go to war for me. "Let's play," he said. While Mr. Jackson is not cheap, you get what you pay for a hundred times over. His billing practices are clear and specific, so I knew exactly what he was charging me and why. He was always on time, never late - despite what another reviewer has said. Best of all, after a contentious 8 months of litigation, Earl got me a great deal out of the divorce, and got me primary of my daughter. All of this despite my ex-wife's attorney playing some real BS throughout the whole thing. Earl doesn't get bogged down in the weeds - he remains focused and dedicated on everyone's file and made me feel like a priority even with multiple other clients on his plate at the same time. I can't give Earl enough praise - I credit my happiness today to his hard work, incredible legal knowledge, and strength in the courtroom. While he comes off as aggressive and harsh sometimes, this played greatly in my favor when he turned that around on the other side. Plus, he has a softer side too... he was always able to calm my nerves and reminded me how important it was to follow the court orders. All in all, Earl is your man. Big southern drawl, unconventional office, no-holds-barred, incredible attorney. Thanks a million times, Earl and Stacey.

The real deal! A true blessing!

I don’t even know where to start...I’m just so glad I found Mr. Jackson and his team when I did! The moment I called the Jackson Law group I knew they were the ones for me. I called, in tears, from halfway across the country fearing for my baby and I’s future. I first spoke with Stacey, Mr. Jackson’s... paralegal. She listened, she cared, and she quickly put my mind at ease about some of the aspects of my case. She then transferred me directly to Mr. Jackson (for free!). Within the 30 minutes I spoke to Earl it seemed like he “just got” my case. He didn’t sugar-coat anything. He told me that Tarrant County basically has an automatic geographic restriction that they are strict with and it was very tough to get it lifted in those courts BUT I had a good case for it and he would fight for me. I worked with Stacey via email and phone conversations a lot between then and the hearing. She put this worried and scared momma’s heart at ease many times. She is so kind and funny and gave me a reason to laugh in such a stressful time in my life. Fast forward to our court hearing and all I can say is “WOW!” Mr. Jackson is a true fighter in the court room. He is so quick and smart and can see right through BS coming from the other side. He will fight for you tooth and nail to get the outcome you want, and that’s just what I got! I’m honestly still in shock. He is the real deal! My case seemed impossible and in just one hearing the restriction was lifted and my baby and I were able to go home thanks to Earl and Stacey. Earl Jackson is the epitome of a lawyer. He fights for what he believes in. If you are thinking about hiring Earl, DO IT! You won’t be sorry. I know my divorce/custody battle is far from over but I sleep a little better at night knowing that my baby and I are safe and that we have Earl Jackson and his team on our side. They are a true blessing from above and I can’t thank God enough for bringing me to them! If you hire anyone other than Earl Jackson, you’ve hired the wrong attorney!!!

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!

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."
