Scammed
I paid for Mr Jackson to represent me through trial. He literally stole my money and said I’m loosing my license. Good luck. Multiple calls and no call back. I’ll be suing soon.

Stephen Wray Jackson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I worked with Mr. Jackson for two years and have nothing but the utmost respect for him. While Mr. Jackson is an excellent attorney, what differentiates him is the compassion and dignity he extends to every client. Mr. Jackson is technically proficient in the law, including the litigation of motions, jury trial, and negotiations with prosecutors. Mr. Jackson commands the respect of opposing counsel because of his thorough and diligent representation. However, Mr. Jackson also treats all people with respect, which means prosecutors actually enjoy making him offers favorable for his clients. As a colleague, I often sought Mr. Jackson's advice on legal strategy and procedure. He always offered insight and support. I am a better attorney for having worked with Mr. Jackson."
"Stephen is an outstanding attorney with the perfect mixture of courage and compassion. I've had the opportunity to observe him in court and to consult with him on cases. He knows the law and facts of his cases and is a highly effective advocate before both judges and juries. I highly recommend him to anyone who has the misfortune to get involved with the criminal justice system."
"I've known Stephen since he joined the Whatcom County Public Defender. I saw him go from District Court to being on TV as the lead attorney for the biggest case this county has seen in living memory. Attorneys don't rise that far that fast without living up to their reputation. Stephen lives up to his. I wholeheartedly endorse him."
"Stephen is a fantastic attorney who is passionate about the practice of law and it shows in how he represents his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable in his practice areas and truly a benefit to anyone he represents.
