Excellent Lawyer

Jeffrey Blackman's Aggressive, and Highly Ethical, Defense in my case is something I am thankful for. I would recommend him to anyone in Tucson seeking a Highly Experienced Attorney. He is a Terrific Man.

Helped me a lot

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.

Redemption

I left a poor review of a phone call with this lawyer. He called me back regarding it and I did not listen to the whole message due to low tolerance for confrontation or stress. I am writing this second one to balance out the first. It was only a phone call. The review I left was a little facitious, ... which isn't like me. I know how it is to have your reputation unfairly attacked, so I relent. The point of that review was to inform the attorney Mr. Blackman that my impression of the call was that he really didn't want to hear about the case, and I really did want some thoughts on it. Excuse my imaginative description, but it is the truth that is what I imagined! I'm sure no one wants people to think that way of them. Moral of the story: if the phone is your first contact, and people are in a scary situation, you may want to be a little easier and friendlier. Don't cut people off so much when they are speaking, etc. I have nothing bad to say about Mr. Blackman as an attorney, however.

If only I could turn back time . . .

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.

Replied last May 13, 2015

As this man knows, the complaint alleging a violation of the Protective Order was not bogus and that I was not failing in any way. I filed a Motion to Withdraw due to this man's conduct with me. I then obtained an Injunction Against Harassment due to telephone messages he left at my office. Although the City Court judge set the Order aside, the Superior Court judge reversed her on appeal, upholding the injunction. The State Bar found no substance in the complaints he refers to.
