Stephen D. Jackson

I never thought I’d get married only to end up going through a divorce, but things happen. I was in a really tough relationship, and for a long time I felt unheard and unprotected. When everything finally hit the point where I needed someone to truly listen and stand up for me and my little one, I’m ...so grateful I found Steve. He’s handling my cases for me right now, and let me just say, he is incredible. He does not play around in the courtroom. When he stands up with an “Objection,” followed by the exact law codes to back it up, I’m highly impressed every time! He stays fully up to date on current changes in the law, which has made a tremendous difference in my case (HUGE DIFFERENCE). I finally feel like I have someone fighting for us with knowledge, strength, and compassion. I also want to shout out his associate attorney, Cory B. She’s been just as supportive and attentive. She’s always answered my questions and texts, stayed on top of all my court updates, and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. Her communication and professionalism have honestly brought me so much peace during such a stressful time. Together, they make an amazing team, and I feel fully protected and well represented.

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 walked into the Conroe Courthouse with NO attorney. I was up against a Houston Attorney in an attempt to obtain a protective order. In the first ten minutes of sitting on the stand. I was being torn apart by the opposing counsel. I had just been physically, emotionally and mentally abused by a fami...ly member and now his attorney. I will never forget hearing a man stand up and say, "Your Honor, I will be representing this young lady! Will you please grant us a quick recess to gather the proper information?" The Judge looked at me and said, "Do you accept?" I quickly said, "YES, I ACCEPT" The Judge took a break for lunch. During this time Stephen Jackson walked his two associates and myself back to his office. Stephen Jackson delegated the two associates to tackle case law and previous court/ criminal cases on the other party. He told them this is going to be a tough one, but we aren't leaving that room without a protective order. Thirty Minutes later both associates returned with their game plan and asked me a few questions. With my responses they said, "Yes Sir, we have it." My fear left and I had no clue what they thought they had, but their confidence along with Stephen's irrefutable evidence of guilt. I knew I was in great hands. When we walked back into that courtroom Jackson sat down with his two associates and smiled. I have never seen so much fear on the face of both my ex and his attorney. Within 10 minutes of putting the other party on the stand for questioning. We walked away with The Protective Order, a new beginning and I finally had the confidence I had been lacking. Jackson and his team changed my life and saved my life all in one day. Thank you to The Team that is truly out to make a difference.

As a referral from friend, I hired Stephen Jackson to represent me in my divorce. Stephen and his firm handled my case with the upmost professionalism, knowledge of family law, and sensitivity. My experience with Stephen Jackson and his staff was extremely positive. Stephen's follow through with comm...unication and documentation was commendable. While going through the process of mediation, negotiations, potential trail then final settlement, Stephen gave me confidence that my case was being addressed in the best way possible. Stephen is a strong, fearless, compassionate and very well-versed attorney. I would without a doubt highly recommend Stephen Jackson.

I hired Stephen D. Jackson to help with an overly aggressive CPS agency who would not stop taking bogus phone calls. He started immediately that very day. Very prepared and extremely competent. We went to a court hearing and Steve was clearly the top attorney in the room. We had an excellent o...utcome, very grateful and we would not hesitate to call him again. He made himself available, said he cares and he really does. Comforting to know that his experience, knowledge of the law and ability to handle our case was worth what he charged. Call this guy!
