Amazing service

Jackson provided personalized, professional and prompt service for my practice purchase. That may be a lot of P's but he deserves one more. Perfect. I will continue to utilize his firm for futures needs.

Business attorney with heart!

I am the CEO of a fairly new company here in Portland (a little over a year old). Because we are new (ish), it is important that we establish relationships with those we NEED to work with that will not kill our bottom line while still providing excellent service and value. Jackson definitely fits... the mold here. After a consultation, I knew that he and his partner, Andrew, were going to be a great fit for Guest One. Both Jackson and Andrew go out of their way to make sure that I am informed regarding specific business choices so as to avoid both simple and complex legal landmines. They have never made me feel like I am "one of many", but rather "first", every time.....and they have never made me feel like my questions or needs put me "last in line". They are transparent with what they do and what they offer HUGELY....and will work with their clients to make sure that the services they are offering fit THEIR client needs...both professionally and financially. I would recommend Jackson and Andrew to any other business I know seeking strong, assured, realistic and confident legal counsel for their business needs, and already have. Seriously...if you are looking for business attorneys that WILL go the extra mile, and not just say they will....Jackson and Andrew are who you should speak to.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
