Mr. Jackson returned my call within 30 minutes of contacting his office. He was very knowledgeable and upfront about my situation, possible outcomes, and ways I can improve my case. I needed him to represent me because I would be forward deployed again during my court date. Since I spent more time overseas than I did in the US, I wasn't able to complete everything he requested I do to improve my case, however what I was able to complete was enough to attain a very favorable outcome- no doubt a testament to his representation. I would not have even known what to do had it not been for his expertise. Not to mention his office team is prompt to reply and give additional guidance.
Bottom line: Mr. Jackson is straightforward and knowledgeable. His expert advice will ensure you have the best case possible.

I replaced my previous lawyer with Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson is trustworthy, and he doesn't sugar coat my case. And that was the reason I didn't chose him in the first place. It turns out his opinion and prediction of my case is right. Most importantly, he made efforts and did a better job than my previous lawyer!

Not from Virginia but looked for lawyer to represent my case that happened in Virginia! Joel and his team were #1 with their communication and outcome! Reckless driving charge on highway reduced to Defective Equipment charge. Go with this Law team and you won't be disappointed! Thank you for representing me.

My summons was for 85 mph which is considered criminal reckless driving. Joel's team obtained an acquittal. No points. No increase in insurance rates. No community service. No driving school. No fine. No court fees. (Technically, it was "Nolle Prossed.") Did I mention NO POINTS? The legal fee was money well spent.

On the way to our family vacation to Disney World, driving through VA my husband got stopped in Bland County outside of the tunnel near the WV state line. I learned after investigating the "ticket" given to us by VA State Trooper- this was not just a ticket. This was a Class A Misdemeanor. (I also learned the police in VA do not have to disclose the nature of the citation given for reckless driving). Keep in mind, at 90 in a 70..We were very nervous. However, we were immediately able to relax after our first phone consultation with Joel.

Seeing as my husband is in the service and would have been unable to attend his court date, I researched to find the best attorney who knows their way around the courts in Bland County. I am glad we went with Joel Jackson. His associate Rachel Whitacker was able to have the charge of Reckless Driving amended to Improper Control/Driving. This is no longer a criminal offense, and only a traffic infraction. With so much on the line, we are so grateful for Joel and his team.

5 stars isn't enough!

I hired Joel to represent me in Bland County Traffic Court. I do not live in the US and am not familiar with the process regarding traffic violations. From first contact with the team I was impressed by there professionalism, phone calls and emails were returned promptly and their guidance throughout the process was invaluable to me.
The outcome for me exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Joel and his team.

100% recommend services of Joel Jackson and his staff. His office was able to get a favorable outcome in the driving case and got it reduced to an infraction while avoiding any community service or elevated driver improvement class. Highly recommended in the state of Virginia where driving laws are extremely strict.

I can truly say that Mr. Jackson exceeded my expectations. I was, and still am in complete awe of the outcome of my case. Being that I am a Truck Driver, I wish that he was available nationwide. I will never ever forget that this firm fought for me & won. I am forever grateful!

This is the number one place that I would go to if you ever get a ticket. They were professional, very knowledgeable, and informed my boyfriend of everything he needed to do before the court date. The outcome of the case was better than we could have ever expected! I highly recommend them.

Had a very favorable outcome on a difficult traffic case today. I was prepared for the worst but Rachel Scrader gave me great news when all was said and done. Hopefully, I won’t need legal representation for quite some time but if I do I’ll be contacting Shawn and Rachel. They get the job done!

These guys are spot on- replied quickly to questions with the best of their knowledge-no runarounds- being from north carolina the no runarounds was greatly appreciated- and they got me a better outcome than expected D.L.

Mr. Jackson's Firm helped my uncle with a traffic violation. He is very pleased with the outcome of his case. Highly recommend Mr. Jackson and will be referring others to his firm in the future. Thank you again.

I called Joel’s office to consult with him about the situation that my daughter was involved in. He explain to me in detail what the paperwork meant in my daughters legal case and what she needed to do to respond to a protective order. I would recommend calling Joel to get his input and legal advice.
I now understand better what all of the court paperwork means and what my daughter needs to do.
Thank you Joel!

I hydroplaned while traveling through VA and was given a ticket for improper lane change. I didn't hit any other cars, just totaled mine. I live in NC and contacted the Law Office of Joel Jackson to help me dispute my ticket. They were very thorough in explaining what documents they needed from me to present my case. Everyone was very kind, patient, and helpful. This is my first ticket in 30 years of driving, so I wasn't familiar with most of the documents they wanted, but they took the time to help me get them. As a result, they were able to get my case dismissed. I am extremely grateful for their support and assistance through it all.

A member of the Joel S Jackson staff responded to my initial call and needs immediately.
The various members of the firm with whom I communicated during the proceedings were extremely knowledgeable, very courteous and understanding.
The end result of my case was far better than I expected, so needless to say I am a very happy client of the firm.
I thank you all at the firm and recommend your services to any client that may have any reservations.

I was charged with reckless driving and by the grace of God I found this firm. They were able to get me a dismissal; I am so thankful for coming to them, especially with it being my first ticket ever!

(Translated by Google) Mr.Joel Jackson is a very respectable person. He helped me reduce the points I received as a result of the excess speed and was treated in a professional manner with the clients and the manager of the office Mr.Sean to help me always in the event of any legal obstacles .. Really thank you for helping me

STAY AWAY especially if you are an out of state driver. Not sure whats worse, the bogus VA speed traps or these lawyer ticket traffic scam services that bilk you of your money for false representation promising at a minimum of a reduction of fines or a lesser charge to reduce points. I work in the transportation industry for a living and lost my job. Not only was I counting on him, I paid 3x the cost of the original ticket and received nothing but a headache. My name is spelled incorrectly in the court documents, little communication never sent any documents, over charged me, never changed my address when it was provided to them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! Find someone else that doesn't have their cronies post good reviews for them .

Would recommend Joel to anyone charged with a sex crime or a VT student in general.

Joel got me off rape charges and had my case dismissed without taking any plea agreement or without any repercussions. If you are a VT student he knows the student conduct system very well. If you are his client, he will fight HARD for you.

Joel turned a good rape case against me into an easy acquittal.

My daughter was driving near Wytheville, VA when she received a reckless op ticket 91/70. We contacted Joel and he back to me right away and explained my options and potential best case outcome. Needless to say we followed his directions to a tee and he got it reduced to improper driving (best case). The office staff is very responsive and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Joe and his team!

I was pulled over on 81 near Marion/Blacksburg Virginia. The officer wrote me up for reckless driving (85mph in a 70mph) and apparently in Virginia 80mph is considered reckless regardless, a serious thing in the state of Virginia.

I quickly started doing research on how I could get this fixed and I came across Joel Jackson. I read the reviews and actually spoke to Mr. Jackson. Him and his team are very knowledgeable and take your case very seriously. After waiting a month with anxiety and the unknown I am happy to write that Mr. Jackson was able to get my case dismissed. They really helped out not only me but my family. If you need someone to represent you and help you out with these matters then I HIGHLY recommend Joel Jackson PC.

Thank You!

My case did not go the way that I had anticipated based on conversations with the assistant at the law firm. However, after talking with Joel, he did work with me to make it right after the fact. Thanks Joel.

Being a commercial driver my CDL record is extremely important to me. After contacting Mr. Jackson, he of course could not give me any guarantees but assured me he felt very strongly he would be able to win my case. Well, everything worked out exactly as he thought it would resulting in 0 points against my CDL record. Thanks again Mr. Jackson.

I strongly recommend Mr. Jackson for any traffic tickets in Virginia.

I needed an attanory to handle a ticket for me that I got about 5 hours from home. I worked with Sean McDonnell, who gave me very good counsel, and as a result I had a very positive outcome. I would highly recommend using this firm if you are in need of legal assistance.

Had representation from Joel Jackson and was very pleased with the outcome. Was kept abreast of the case while it worked its way through the system. Hopefully, I won't require his expertise in the future but should life happen, I wouldn't hesitate to have him for counsel.

Joel Jackson's staff were extremely helpful when I called up needing a lawyer. They emailed me a list of paper work to bring to the office and told me about previous cases similar to mine which had favorable outcomes. My case did have a favorable outcome, cleared of all charges. Rates for hiring Joel Jackson's attorney services were also reasonable.

An Awesome Lawyer with immense experience!
I got a Reckless driving in I-81 on last August while I was heading for vacation with my family. The office gave me a summon of Montegomery, VA district court. I live in Reston, VA and the district court is Monegomery, VA which almost 4 hours drive from Reston. After some research on internet, I called Joel's office. Joel's associate Sean received the call and helped me to understand the importance and consequence of the case and finally he arranged a call back with Joel for discussing about the case. Joel was so nice, confident and trust worthy that I decided to hire Joel to represent me in the district court for defending my case. He even assured me not to drive down to the court date and he will handle everything in my absence. He assisted me on every corner of the case to gather evidence in support of my case. His fees is also much less than any other lawyer. And Finally in the court date my Reckless driving case was reduced to an amended non-moving violation charge of Defective Equipment. This is a 0 demerit point violation on my license.
Kudos to the complete Joel's Team for wonderful support and showing trustworthiness. I highly recommend Joel's name!
Thank you Joel for all your help!

Thanks,
Abhishek

Joel and his office staff were fantastic to work with! I had never had to use a lawyer before. I didn't really know what to expect, but they made my experience easy. Joel, as well, as the rest of his staff gave me confidence through their knowledge and approach to my case. The price was right, and the outcome was the best I could have hoped for. I highly recommend Joel and his office!

Can't say enough good things about Mr. Jackson and his team. They did an outstanding job for me. I'm from Canada and was stopped for speeding over 80 in a 70 which carries some heavy charges in the state of Virginia. Word of Caution DO NOT do over 80 mph in this state it is considered reckless and carries a criminal charge. Without going in to detail they got the job done and I am really happy with the results. Highly recommend Mr. Jackson specially if you are out of state or Country for that matter.

If you need an attorney for a traffic violation this is the man to hire.
I was pulled over for running a red light. I had been waiting for 10 minutes for the light to change and to avoid being stuck out in the snow storm I ran the light and was pulled over. I called Mr. Jackson's office and his very nice staff got me in touch with Mr. Jackson. He was extremely nice and professional and was there to help every step of the way. He got it reduced to a moving violation without points. I cannot recommend him enough.

After searching for representation in Montgomery county for a speeding violation, Joel came across as one of the most friendly and reasonably priced options. He was able to reduce my violation to defective equipment as he predicted. The only negative I have is that he never really informed me of the outcome via phone or email. I just found out the case had gone my way by checking the court's website. For the amount he charged me though it was not that big of a deal.

Mr. Jackson is reasonable, reliable and has a tremendous amount of patience when explaining in detail what your options are.
