Jeffrey Brooke Jackson

I could not be more content with how Jeff handled our case, ending in dropping the charges. Jeff has been very responsive and he took the time to explain the steps going forward in the process. His "door is always open" attitude/policy made us feel very at ease about talking to him regardless of what question we had. Also the fact that he is very in tune with the goings-on and with the judges/lawyers at San Mateo County Courthouse was a big plus for our case. He is a highly intelligent lawyer who doesn't walk around with an attitude of supremacy, he is very down to earth. I recommend him highly feel free to contact me if you'd like my opinion in person.

Jeff is an attorney that I trust with my life. After 9 years of not being involved in the Criminal Justice System, I found myself with another alcohol related case. The attorney that helped me in my previous cases was close to retiring and unable to take my case. I was devastated. I observed Jeff's professionalism and strategy from a previous case that affected my family, immensely (where our children were the victims). I noted his interactions with the DA at all stages of the case, including the plea bargaining stage. As a defense attorney, he ensured due process to his client and that an appropriate plea deal was reached. Given my observations, I reached out to him and asked for help. Without any reluctantance, he represented me. I was afraid that my past felony convictions would really affect the current misdemeanor charge of "Drunk in Public." During our first conversation, he had a very supportive, yet direct conversation about my need to address my relapse and alcoholism (not only for my case, but for the quality of my life). He provided me with suggestions of what to do to get back into recovery. And, I took them. He never judged me and was always professional, never condescending. He never made any promises of any outcomes. He was prompt to answer any questions. And, his answers were honest. At the end of the case, although my past convictions were brought up. He was able to truly speak on my behalf. The end result was a change in plea, to a lower level misdemeanor, and the original charge being dropped. I didn't face any jail time, or fines. Instead, I was placed on 18 months court probation and had to only pay the court fees. Upon completing my outpatient program, he even filed my certificate with the courts and took my court payment to the court clerk. He is a very competent attorney. I highly recommend him if you need representation for any criminal charge. He will always be honest and work diligently with you and the court, to ensure the best possible outcome, given the circumstances surrounding your case.

After speaking with nearly 8 different attorneys, Jeff was a no-brainer. He showed a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework, the judicial dynamics and came up with a great, pragmatic strategy that resulted in our charges being dismissed. Every step of the way, Jeff remained in constant communication with us and never hesitated to answer our questions and provide us with incredible insight into the process. We owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.

Jeff Jackson was referred to me by a close family friend. Unfortunately, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and shortly after I began drinking heavily, and found myself with multiple DUI charges and 2 felony charges. Every lawyer I spoke with said that I was looking at 2 years in prison, IF IM LUCKY. Mr. Jackson did not only keep me from going to jail for 1 single day. He got all of my court fines reduced. I cannot stress enough what a great attorney Mr. Jackson is.

I never expected to be facing charges for a domestic situation turned awry. Last year, however, I was facing charges I felt were wrongfully brought against me. Prior to Mr. Jackson, I had hired an attorney who spoke to me condescendingly, attempted to influence my decisions, didn't respond in a timely manner, and whom I later found was being dishonest. Unfortunately, I had paid that attorney in advance, and lost money. I fired him, and went with Jeff upon referral from some one who had told me, "I trust Jeff with my life." And now I know why. Jeff was the complete opposite of my 1st attorney. He seemed genuinely concerned, patiently answered all questions, attended to the details of the case, was always professional, and really went to bat for me in court. My case was eventually dismissed. I interviewed several attorneys during this time - most of them appeared more concerned with winning your business, as opposed to the outcome of your case (which as we all know, can significantly impact your life). Looking back, I wish I'd hired Jeff from the start - I highly recommend him!
