In trouble? Call him NOW
This guy rocks. He explained what my charges were in a way I could understand, he told me all about my options, I always knew he had my back, and he gave that DA hell. I hope I never get arrested again but if I do, I'm calling him FAST. Oh yeah, if you were wondeinrg about his results, I'm typing...
"Jackson is an up and coming criminal defense lawyer whose knowledge, capabilities, and talents well exceed his years of practice. Jackson is studious of the law and insightful in its application. He is highly regarded and well respected by both the courts and fellow menbers of the bar. In addition, Jackson has that somewhat rare and unique ability to relate to his clients in a way that gives those clients confidence and hope - and the really neat thing is that Jackson delivers. I truly expect him to be extremely successful as his career progresses."
"Jackson is a very knowledgeable criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney that will fight for their rights and skillfully navigate them through the complex criminal process."
"I was lucky enough to work under Jackson at his previous firm. I consider him a mentor, and he has certainly helped me to understand what being a zealous advocate for a client truly entails. If I ever need a criminal defense attorney, the first number I dial will be Jackson's."
"Jackson is an exceptional criminal defense attorney who consistently melds his vast knowledge of the law with his superb courtroom skills for the benefit of his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance in their criminal matter."
"Having worked with Jackson, I know that you will not find an attorney who works harder or cares more about their clients. Jackson fights for his clients and is a true warrior for Justice. He is an excellent attorney, and I can't endorse him highly enough."
"We hired Whetsell to work for Held Law Firm because of two things: his down-to-earth attitude with his clients, and his attention to every detail of the case. Criminal defense cases are won or lost based on specific facts; Jackson finds them and uses them to tell his client's story in a way that is compelling to District Attorneys, Judges, and juries. It's why he gets such great results."
"Jackson is a tenacious fighter, a tireless worker for his clients, extremely knowledgeable, and a true advocate for those in need of a quality defense."
"Jackson is committed to providing excellent representation for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
