I hired Joel after a reckless driving traffic stop on I-81 the morning after Thanksgiving 2023. I live in Mississippi and was concerned about the distance from home. Joel handled the situation without me needing to travel back up. The case was resolved with improper driving. Overall, he did this at a moderate price. I would highly recommend him to any out-of-state drivers in a similar situation. You will be well represented! read more

There are better attorneys out there. This attorney worked out mediocre outcome for a premium pay. Do not recommend.

If you are a student at Va Tech or Radford University and find yourself accused of a Title 9 violation then you NEED Joel Jackson!!! He is honest, compassionate, direct, and very knowledgeable about Title 9 and the tremendously detailed and time consuming process that is involved with these cases as well as the paperwork and quick deadlines that are involved. DO NOT try to navigate this system yourself. No matter what the school says, it is in YOUR best interest to contact a lawyer. Our experience, with Mr. Jackson, gave us an outcome that we could not have achieved on our own. Forever grateful. read more

While cruising down I-81 several months ago with 3/4 of a 9 hour journey behind me, I was pulled over and informed by a representative of the State of VA that I needed to slow down and enjoy the scenery of their beautiful commonwealth. Despite my pleading that my stop earlier to purchase a bunch of apples was proof valid that I was taking in my surroundings, the kind representative thought it best that I receive a paper reminder of his suggestion. Within days of my experience, my mailbox was flooded with offers to help me in my situation. Through weighing my options, I called a few of the individuals who offered assistance. I based my decision on who to procede with on a couple of factors: price, friendliness, background, and proximity to the location of my hearing. Joel seemed like the best of all four criteria. When I called his office, I first spoke with a friendly individual who listened to my situation. She stated that Joel could possibly represent me and asked if I would like for him to call me to discuss the matter further. I said "sure" and within an hour Joel was calling me back. He listened to me and said that based on my clean driving record there was a good possibility for a successful outcome. Joel then quoted his fee, which was middle of the pack compared to the four other attorneys I had contacted. Based on his demeanor on the phone and the friendliness of his employees I decided to proceed with Joel. The process was great! Joel emailed me the paperwork, which I signed and sent back via email. They then sent me the completed letter of representation, which I reviewed. Due to my critical nature I had a couple of questions on what I received. Joel's staff was very nice and accommodating in making sure that all my questions were addressed without making me feel like a burden. On the day of the hearing, I received a call directly from Joel letting me know the outcome of my case. He was able to negotiate the charge down to no points with a reasonable fine, which I immediately paid. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome and to have had Joel present my case. I would definitely recommend his representation to anyone seeking assistance on traffic related matters in the area. read more

On May 23rd 2018 i received a speeding violation in Pearisburg VA. I felt the circumstance surrounding the citation where fraudulent and called the office of Joel S Jackson as he was listed as a traffic attorney. Upon calling the office and speaking to Joel, i explained I had been in the state 2 hours driving a rental car i was not used to and I am from fl & certainly not used to the hills and mountains of VA. The speed limit sign that reduced the speed to 40 mph was 20 ft from the where the officer was hiding behind signage at the bottom of a hill not allowing me to stop in time. He went to in to great detail about his reputation and he won 9 out of 10 cases and even mentioned some much worse than mine that he was able to have dismissed. He stated worst case scenario he was confident it would be at least reduced to faulty equipment so i would not pay for points on my insurance. This cost me $250 They over charged me, no copies of any documents, the court date change 2 times and I was never notified of the out come or sent documents from his office or Giles County regarding the outcome of the case which was exactly the same as the citation. This a fraudulent organization that makes false promises and ended up costing me 3x the amount of the of the original citation. I provided my updated address as I moved June 1st and that was never relayed to anyone. I just received a letter dated 2/15/19 with my previous address with a Lien from Giles County Court House in VA with a bill including late fees and penalties. Totaling $197.03 with 7 days left to pay. Out of Pocket $447.03. Todd, Thank you for retaining the services of The Law Office of Joel S. Jackson for your reckless driving charge in Giles County General District Court.please complete the retainer sent in the DocuSign email at your convenience Our office will strive to meet your expectations.

VT student charged with Rape. Joel got me off 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. read more

We hired Joel Jackson for a reckless driving charge and found the experience with him and his staff to be very efficient and professional. From the first phone calls fielded by the friendly office assistant, to the day of the court hearing, everything went smoothly and we were happy with the negotiations that Mr. Jackson made on our behalf. The reasonable cost of his services greatly reduced the potential fees and points associated with our case. Highly recommend... read more

We hired Joel Jackson to handle a speeding ticket for us. We found Joel and his assistant to be professional and courteous. We live in NC and got a speeding ticket in VA. We were able to work everything long distance over the phone/internet etc. so that we did not have to drive back to VA to meet with him or go to court. He was able to get the ticket reduced to a nonmoving violation which is great. We had a positive experience working with this office. read more
