Stephen D. Jackson

Mr. Jackson is one of the best, if not THE very best, litigators in Montgomery County. He's a bit of a legend in the Texas Legal Community; I have a friend who is a young lawyer just recently starting out, and when he heard I was using Steve Jackson as my attorney, he said "oh wow, you got the best ...of the best." There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Jackson got the absolute best deal possible for me. He really put the screws to my ex-husband, finding every legal loophole and advantage. Watching him cross examine an opposing witness is truly a sight to behold, I actually found myself pitying my awful ex at certain moments. So if Mr. Jackson did such a great job, why is my review only three stars? Well, the bad news is that although he will be a zealous advocate in your defense, he will also apply his prodigious talents to finding and extracting every last nickel from your pockets. The man is utterly rapacious. He will walk right up to the line of what's ethical for an attorney and use what he can in order to bill you enormous sums. It was so bad that by the end of my divorce, I wasn't sure who I hated more, my ex or Mr. Jackson. It's not just a matter of him being more expensive on an hourly rate than other lawyers (although he is.) And it's not just a matter that his retainer is two or three or four times that of other lawyers (although it is.) But he will also nickel and dime you for every last little imaginable thing, like his office staff grabbing you a coffee or answering the phone. Did he send you a text message reminding you of an upcoming court date? Congratulations, that's his minimum charge of 10 minutes of time, that'll be $125 please. Did you text him back "thanks"? Well that's another $125 for him to read the message. I understand legal fees aren't cheap and you get what you pay for, but Mr. Jackson will use his knowledge (which you are required to give him in a divorce case) of how much money you have and where your accounts are located and what kind of job you have in order to convert as much as possible of your assets into his. You have been warned. So altogether, is he worth it? Well, if he's three times as good as the average lawyer but he's eight times as expensive, that's not a proportionate return on the investment, now is it? Now, if you are a mafia kingpin or serial killer facing life imprisonment or death row, or if you are a multimillionaire and there are millions of dollars at risk in your divorce? Yeah, then it's probably worthwhile to write a six figure check to Mr. Jackson. But for the rest of us mere mortals, maybe an attorney 80% as good at one-third the price would suffice.

I hired him for a felony case, and I am beyond thrilled to share that my case was dismissed. From the very beginning, Stephen demonstrated immense expertise, professionalism, and dedication. He took the time to fully understand the details of my case and offered sound legal guidance every step of the... way. What truly stood out was the amazing support I received from his team, especially Dillon and Carla. They were always available to answer my questions and concerns, ensuring I was kept informed throughout the process. Their communication and attention to detail were top-notch, which made the entire experience much less stressful. Thanks to Stephen Jackson and his fantastic staff, I can now move forward with peace of mind. If you’re in need of legal representation, look no further. You’ll be in great hands!

Steve is a truly a world-class attorney in every sense of the word. He possesses the unique ability that only experience can teach - wisdom. He innately knew how how hard to push and how to be tactical in approach. I appreciated him making himself available past work hours and his ability to prov...ide objective perspective regarding each interval along the path of the case. Additionally, his staff of Dylan, Debbie, Laura, and Sandy were always available to assist and were truly unsung heroes working diligently in the background to make a successful journey for me. 10/10 would recommend!

Steve and his team will to fight for you with truth and reason. When you are crying happy tears in mediation thinking I never thought it could be this good. You know why you hired Steve. Divorce is one of the most stressful situations some people go through in their lifetime. You do not want to ...be in the hot seat. I felt Steve’s team listened to my concerns and even helped me deduce the best compromise for my child and myself. When you walk into a room prepared to go to court... Imagine leaving that same room coming to an agreement on custody and property where you have the upper hand on both. You have just finalized your child custody issues. You are in the best position for you and your child’s future. You’ve been given the assets you deserve. You didn’t need to compromise on either because you had Steve and his team on your court. And you’re so grateful you’ve come to this point. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you as I know with another attorney I would old have folded too soon. Thank you to Steve and his team for all your help.
