Highly recommend!

For the first time in my life I found myself in a legal bind. The case itself was bogus, and being charged was complete shock to me. I did go to court by myself only to find that I lack the knowledge to navigate the system. I was “generously” offered a 6 month supervised probation with a whole slew o...f time-consuming classes and evaluations. Worst of all, the case could affect my custody of my daughter. I did not qualify for assistance with legal representation. Jill was one of the few dozen lawyers on the list that the legal office hands out. Hiring her was based on her excellent and, as it turns out, well deserved reviews. I found Jill to be personable and understanding, very knowledgeable, organized and well liked by all court staff. She gave me sound recommendations and legal advice, and communicated with me frequently. Hiring her was the best decision I’ve made, as an extremely stressful desperate situation turned into something manageable with a clear end in sight. Jill got my case dismissed and the records sealed. I am forever grateful for her hard work and support during this stressful and confusing time. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for effective legal representation!

Outstanding Attorney!

I am so glad I met Jill at the time I needed legal help. She was such a pleasure to work with – kind, easy going, good listener, calm, patient, compassionate, sensitive, professional and intelligent. She is dedicated and diligent; was always prompt returning calls and emails; was always available and... easy to communicate with. Jill has such an amazing personality! I could just go on with all the compliments which she truly deserves. She resolved my case in a timely manner and the outcome totally exceeded my expectations in the most positive way. Jill was very affordable compared to all other attorneys I called and that was very critical to our family. She also helped find a very affordable attorney for my spouse. Jill worked out miracles and what could have been a harsher and longer punishment, turned into a much lesser conviction. She turned my DV charge into just a “petty” offense which only cost me $10 in court fees versus hundreds of dollars. And because I did not end up going through probation and supervision, she saved me additional $800 at a minimum. Therefore, thanks to Jill, my family spent way less money on all legal expenses than we would have had to pay if I didn’t have such an awesome attorney like Jill. I wish I could give her a million stars instead of just five. She truly deserves the best recognition and I definitely recommend Jill to those who seek legal help in criminal matters. I found myself in a very unfamiliar and uncomfortable situation, but thanks to Jill, it got resolved so quickly and painlessly with the outcome I could not even dream of. I felt so comfortable with Jill like she was a lifelong friend rather than a stranger. It was a blessing I found her! If I will ever need legal advice, Jill will be the first person I will reach out to. Highly, highly recommend her!!!

Sealing of record assistancen

I hired Jill Jackson to assist me with sealing a record. I was unsure about the process but after a few meetings with Jill, I felt confident that having her represent me was in my best interest. Jill took the time to explain the process making sure that I understood. Her calm demeanor and knowledge ...in the law made a stressful situation easier to handle. She kept me informed in every step of the process providing a time scale of when completion for the request would be and was very diligent during her information gathering process. Jill is a knowledgeable, professional and competent attorney that I would hire again for any legal need.

Posted by Matthew | October 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

One of the best you can get for your case

Jill Jackson is a great and friendly lawyer. I had a 28 point traffic ticket and she was able to take it down to 4 points along with a driving class and just 10 hours of community service. She listened, made me feel comfortable and was the best choice I could make. One of the best lawyers in Colorado... and is very intelligent, kind and understanding.

Posted by Jeremy | November 06, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Outstanding Lawyer!

I recently found myself in a very complicated situation with two pending DUI's along with multiple other charges in separate cases in separate counties. I was looking at my second and third DUI convictions, with somewhat of a not-so-stellar record to begin with. I thought I had found decent represent...ation with another lawyer, but after multiple visits to court in two separate counties, I decided to fire my attorney and get a new one. I found Jill Jackson almost immediately on recommendations from others around town. After sitting down and discussing my case with her, she immediately set my mind at ease and sounded very confident she could get much better results than the previous attorney I had hired. I hired her immediately, and she started the whole case from scratch. Jill gave me a sense of confidence that my very complicated cases and future were in great hands. Along with my two criminal cases, I also had a civil custody case involving my young child going on at the same time. Jill was not only on top of my criminal cases, but she went above and beyond to help me figure out what I needed to do for the best result in my civil case as well. Jill even went with me and introduced herself to the lawyers involved in my civil case to make me feel even more at ease. Combining all factors together, Jill really had a complicated situation to deal with and got me better results than she intended or I could have ever dreamed of. She has really helped turn my life around, and I would recommend Jill Jackson to anyone looking for an outstanding attorney. Most importantly though, I would recommend Jill because she is a genuinely great person that actually cares about people and isn't afraid to go above and beyond for her client.
