Review James Jackson

Divorce Simplified

Posted by

Very happy with James Jackson and his office. I tried to do the divorce by myself but was too emotional and the documents were too confusing and the paralegal offices I called for help kept saying, 'we can't answer that, we aren't attorneys." Since this was a simple divorce we didn't want an attorney but did need help! Mr Jackson helped us through the process, always available by email or his amazing assistant, Evelyn, to answer questions, draft documents and guide us all the way. Mr. Jackson held up his end of the deal by seeing the divorce through, not complicating it, or adding fees or surprises. He delivered what he committed to us. My husband and I are officially divorced now thanks to James Jackson and his office and I highly recommend him.

Mr. James Jackson has worked endlessly on my case. His knowledge and hand picked qualified staff demonstrate professionalism at the same time compassion, not easily found in an individual. His expertise on the law blended with eagerness to support you is illimitable. I highly recommend Mr. James Jackson as your attorney

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Jackson is an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who is pleasant to work with. He understands the dynamic between advocating for your client and working together to benefit the parties and children involved.

Thurman Arnold, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jul 11, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I have known James A. Jackson for a couple of decades. I have opposed him more times than I can count. He is an outstanding attorney, and well respected by the judges in our community. He is a ferocious and loyal advocate. If you need a bear on your side, Jim's your bear!
