Lack of ethics

We hired Justin as my family blindsided with Divorce papers, After providing him with 6 folder full of records and he was so unprepared prepared in court, it blew my mind. The inattention to detail and how very unprepared he was. We were unnerved when, just before the hearing he asked fo...r more money - this was after having been paid the retainer well before the trial. Long story short he had to be asked to say the obvious by us during the trial and the judge kept looking at him for checking his phone repeatedly during the trial rather than listening to the hearing. He ended up working out the best deal for the opposing attorney and went over to the other attorney patting him on the back. No matter the circumstances Justin will do his best to help himself while harming our kiddos and extended family. Thank you Jackson Law firm!

He Gets It!

Justin and his paralegal Melody were amazing. I consulted multiple attorneys regarding my case and Justin was the only one who made me feel confident and assured. Some wanted to be overly brutal with my ex, some expected me to fold for him, but Justin GETS IT. He understood my needs and read my perso...nality, and knew the right way to approach my situation and guided me every step of the way. Justin is honest and down to earth. He gave me realistic and probable answers and expectations, never tried to fluff or polish issues that arose just to please me. Melody was wonderful and always helpful, taking time to walk through expectations for hearings, meditations, etc. Melody is close & personal with her clients; she was really involved in my case & felt emotions with me, both frustration and celebration, and everything in between. It truly felt as though they were on my side and took my case because they believed in it and wanted to help me, not to add names to their client list. They powered through false CPS claims, harassment, verbal abuse, and my out of state move, never giving me any doubt that I was taking the right positions, made the best choices, and that we would win my case. This isn't a law firm that you never hear from and leaves you sitting, twiddling your thumbs, hoping they've got it together. No, this legal team is there every step of the way and always looking out for your best interests and those of your children! I never felt like they were milking time or loading the bill. In fact, they were aware of my financial situation and always offered ways to save me money. I was never pressured for payment and I will always be grateful for that. Child custody cases are emotional enough, and it was a blessing to work with a team that didn't add financial stress to the load. Custody cases and divorce are heart wrenching, stressful, and can mentally break you. You need someone who will leave you feeling confident and even relieved, every time you hang up the phone or walk into court. I was trembling and close to vomiting for every hearing, appearance, etc., but as soon as Justin arrived and laid out his game plan, seeing him at work and watching him fight for you, I always walked out with my head held high. I have a tendency to be too nice, but Justin spoke up for me every time and made sure I never wavered from my position or accepted less than I was entitled. He didn't just fight for me, he fought for my kids, and I'll always be thankful!

Justin is GREAT

Five Stars for the Jackson Law Firm! I was really nervous when I started my search for a family law attorney because I knew that the most important things in my life were at risk: my children, my home, my assets and my ability to provide for my kids in the future. I knew I had found the right attor...ney the moment I walked into Justin's office. My divorce was nasty! My ex wife was determined to try and take my young children away from me and tried to fabricate all types of narratives to get her way. She tried to use family protective orders, stalking allegations, cps investigations, accusations of adultry, drugs and abuse with multiple police reports and every other tactic you could think of as leverage in our custody battle - but I'm happy to say I ended up with 50/50 custody of my children and an equal split of community property. As far as logistics go - Justin and his staff worked with a sense of purpose and I never felt that they were "milking the clock." His office was always responsive and billing was clear, understandable, detailed and consistent. Justin is an attorney that just "gets it." He understands things quickly and his staff was amazing to work with. I can honestly tell you, whether you are in an uncontested divorce and just looking for someone who understands divorce procedures and will work efficiently and accurately - or - a hard hitting attorney with lots of trial experience that will roll up his sleeves and is not afraid to fight back on your behalf... you need to call The Jackson Law Firm

Awesome!

Justin took my case with a short notice, I was blindsided with Divorce papers, Justin had only a few days to prepare, I know he had sleepless nights before my court date because he was so prepared and ready, it blowed my mind the attention to detail and how prepared he was, long story short he got me... full custody of my kids, coming from California I didn't even know that was possible in Texas, we end up working out the best deal for my two little ones and myself, No matter the circumstances Justin will do his best to help you, I'll be forever grateful and I would never hesitate to send my friends and family his way, Thank you Jackson Law firm!

Dads do get custody!

My divorce was a nightmare. False assault charges, 2 rounds of depositions, 2 rounds of temporary order hearings. lots of subpoenas, restraining orders and injunctions against my ex wife, private investigators, etc. You name it my divorce had it. At the start I was looking at only getting standard vi...sitation with my 8 year old daughter. 7 months later, In my final divorce decree I was awarded primary parent and my ex-wife has expanded standard visitation. Surprised? Well I can tell you it would not have been possible without the persistence, dedication, experience, and hard work of Justin. Men, if you are getting divorced, you love your children and you are a great dad, you own it to them and yourself to call Justin.
