This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney

Jay is a Christian atty and a very caring man. He takes great care of his clients, and will not take your case if he does not feel that you will win. He is careful about explaining what to expect, and what to look out for during the pre-trail, or fact gathering time. He will explain what to look out ...for and what not to do. His staff is also good about answering questions when Jay is not in. We have been very fortunate because in both cases we settled out of court. No one wants to hire an attorney, and no one wants to go to court. Some circumstances can change that. If you are going to make the decision to hire an attorney realize that this is a law firm, and that you are getting the best in Houston. I would feel comfortable recommending him to anyone. Take time to talk with Jay and I feel you will be very glad you did.

Car Destroyed

Mr. Jackson is a man of his word and action. I was met with the utmost professionalism by him and his assistant Cynthia Vergara. They sincerely cared about my well being from the initial meeting until the final settlement. I was very pleased with the settlement along with my medical expenses getting... covered. I was blessed to have both of them on my side.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Jackson helped us with the case of my husband Ismael Tellez. He was always with us during court dates and above all he was a pure gentlemen who was always on time, and presented himself with the most professional attire. Mr.Jackson would keep me and my family updated on the case at all times. If ...me and my family ever needed any additional help, he was always there, spending countless hours providing professional and moral support to me and my family as we went through the tough times of our loss. We were never alone during our case and Mr. Jackson, to say the very least is a very excellent lawyer and a qualified gentlemen.

  • 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.
