Jeffrey Blackman

I retained Mr. Blackman several times when my son was young, and decided to make several stupid "decisions". Mr Blackman was very aggressive in my son's defense showing that the case(s) were overblown by the Tucson Police Department and that the so called "facts" that they produced were, at best, ina...ccurate and/or false. Mr Blackman is very involved in your case. You will receive calls, letters, emails ALL the time. You never have to guess where your case is at. I have read several other reviews posted and find them to be inaccurate with the attorney that I know. Mr. Blackman takes his (your) case very serious and if you don't follow his direction, he will let you know you are screwing up. I can see that (as my son didn't always follow through in a timely manner) some might take Mr. Blackman's counsel negatively, but he is trying to get you, the client, to do the best thing for your case. My son received a stern "do this, don't do that" talking to more than once. If you need a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Blackman is your attorney. Mr. Blackman also represented my friend (from my referral) during his divorce and was very happy with the results. I think other reviews are just blaming Mr. Blackman for their mistakes or failure to follow through. At least that is my belief due to my involvement with Mr. Blackman.

Jeffrey has represented us, for the past two and a half months', with honesty and integrity. His knowledge and expertise have been evident in every court hearing, personal meeting and communication with opposing counsel. We are kept well informed of every aspect of our case. have, and will continue,... to recommend Jeffrey to all who have need of his expertise, knowledge and tenacity. I have found that to be represented by Jeffrey Blackman is to be represented by one of the best.

Mr. Blackman has helped me and my family several times for legal advice and assistance. I have recommended Mr. Blackman to several friends, including 2 divorce cases, and they have been very happy with him. I have found that Mr/ Blackman is direct and to the point. Do not lie to him about your c...ase OR not follow his legal advice. If he tells you to do something, or more importantly NOT TO DO SOMETHING, follow his advice !! Come to Mr. Blackman prepared, with the facts, and any documentation involved in your case. Do not BS him. That will hurt your case and lead him down the wrong road until the truth comes out. He can not help you correctly if you are not straight with him. Ask him to clarify Attorney and client privilege so you understand why the truth is important. Mr. Blackman is very thorough and knows what he is doing.

I hired JB to defend and clear me of a bogus complaint filed against me in a protective order violation by my divorcing wife. I had arranged to meet my 2 sons at the other end of a park where they were playing ball, on my birthday, so they could give me a birthday card. . . JB attempted to clear... me but was failing. I expressed my concerns to him, and hired anther attorney. Because I did this, in telephone conversation, left him a voicemail while he was still my legal representation, he turned aroud and accused me of harrassing him! He took me to court, well knowing I was innocent, and described me to the judge as a creepy, night stalker, who was stalking my wife!!! He has since cost me thou$and$ defending myself AGAINST HIM!! Of course, he lost his case, and both my new attorney and I have since filed complaints against him with the AZ State Bar Assoc. that are currently under investigation. No I could never recommend JB, it's not in your best interest. In fact he's had several negative reviews describing similar experiences to mine.

I recommend checking with the AZ State Bar and/or doing a public records background check before hiring this man. In hindsight I cannot recommend him. Jeffrey Blackman actually obtains some of his business through a referral arrangement he has with another lawyer named Dennis Grey, where in exchange ...for the referrals he pays Dennis Grey a 10% finders fee. In other words 10% of what Jeffrey Blackman charges, goes to Dennis Grey. Jeffery Blackman withdrew from my case before it got off the ground, claiming "the attorney client relationship was broken". We had only appeared for two five minute continuances of pretrial conferences but he claimed he had done almost $13000 worth of work. Dennis Grey had even returned his 10% to Jeffrey Blackman, and Jeffrey Blackman kept a portion of that too. I ended up hiring another lawyer who charged less, and did a better job.
