"I was in quite a predicament with how I was picked up and treated like a full blown criminal by the police. Jason Jackson took the time and effort to find out all the details of my case down to the smallest detail. He paved the way for as smooth of a landing as was going to happen with my case as far as the prosecutor goes. Not only meeting with the prosecutor several times on my behalf but coming up with what I believe one of the best possible outcomes for my case that could have been found. Jason was by my side every step of the way and was available pretty much any time I tried to reach him for question or concerns I had regarding said situation. If you want a true professional on your side in this steamroll the defendant society who will not let that happen to you then Jason Jackson is your man to obtain the best results possible for your case. Truly friendly and literally knows all the players in the Hamilton County Court system, he will make this very hard time in your life that much easier by allowing your voice to be heard and not steamrolled into a big sentence as an extremely capable and effective lawyer. This whole situation went from overwhelming to easy peasy when in Jason Jackson's hands. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with his abilities and willingness to FIGHT FOR YOU! Jason Jackson will always be there for you no matter the time once you make him your lawyer. It's so comforting having a truly 5 star lawyer in my corner and knew I would receive the defense lawyer everyone dreams of without having to sell a car for his fees which are extremely reasonable. If you have legal issues in Hamilton county I recommend Jackson law firm from the bottom of my heart and appreciate the justice that was truly served out in my case by allowing my side of the story to be heard. That will not happen with a public defender, trust me! Thanks to the Jason Jackson law firm for EVERYTHING he did and pulled off for my case to make justice prevail and me come out the best I possibly could have. #ONEGREATLAWYER...get Jason Jackson on your side ASAP and stop the worries."

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024-2025Not only did Mr. Jackson get me a much lighter sentence than what the court was pursuing. He did all the paperwork to get my charge upgraded from a felony to a class a misdemeanor once everything else was done without charging me any additional fees. All I can say without a doubt is Jason Jackson is a truly skilled professional that treats everyone like a human no matter what walk of life you come from. Bar none the best lawyer I've ever come across and definitely recommend him to anyone needing his assistance.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
