I hired Mr. Jeffrey Blackman regarding a civil matter in July of 2019. Mr. Blackman immediately went to work, and wasted absolutely no time in producing results. Mr. Blackman paid great attention to fine detail, and kept me informed through constant communication. As a combat veteran, this was much appreciated. As I'm sure with anyone's legal situation, the proceedings caused me anxiety. However, due to Mr. Blackman's high effort, consistent communication, and production of results, my anxiety was minimal. Mr. Blackman has a very strong presence, which I believe derives from the experience and confidence he has. Court proceedings can be quite intimidating. Mr. Blackman's presence gives you an assurance you will not be allowed to be bullied or forced into any circumstance you do not wish to find yourself. If any unfortunate event in the future makes it necessary for me to hire an attorney, I would most certainly utilize Mr. Blackman's services.

Jeffrey Blackman's Aggressive, and Highly Ethical, Defense in my case is something I am thankful for. I would recommend him to anyone in Tucson seeking a Highly Experienced Attorney. He is a Terrific Man.

I left a poor review of a phone call with this lawyer. He called me back regarding it and I did not listen to the whole message due to low tolerance for confrontation or stress. I am writing this second one to balance out the first. It was only a phone call. The review I left was a little facitious, which isn't like me. I know how it is to have your reputation unfairly attacked, so I relent. The point of that review was to inform the attorney Mr. Blackman that my impression of the call was that he really didn't want to hear about the case, and I really did want some thoughts on it. Excuse my imaginative description, but it is the truth that is what I imagined! I'm sure no one wants people to think that way of them. Moral of the story: if the phone is your first contact, and people are in a scary situation, you may want to be a little easier and friendlier. Don't cut people off so much when they are speaking, etc. I have nothing bad to say about Mr. Blackman as an attorney, however.

I only had a phone consult. But if I had been able to hire him at this time (expensive! ) I more than likely would have chosen not to. He was very short, seemed tired and impatient. I imagined an overweight sweaty old greedy man on the other end. Looking at his profile he actually seems very creative and interesting. Maybe, Mr. Blackman, do not answer your phone when you are feeling burned out and tired. As I said, based on that phone call I would not have hired you if I had all the money in the world. Good day!

Jeffrey represented my son in an extreme-speeding vehicle matter. He did his research, went to bat for us, both in court and in side discussions with the prosecutor, and we came away with a court resolution that was easy to swallow. We would have been at the mercy of the prosecution without Jeffrey by our side. He was very direct with my son and I believe it sunk in, he hasn't had a driving violation since!

I retained Mr. Blackman several times when my son was young, and decided to make several stupid "decisions". Mr Blackman was very aggressive in my son's defense showing that the case(s) were overblown by the Tucson Police Department and that the so called "facts" that they produced were, at best, inaccurate and/or false. Mr Blackman is very involved in your case. You will receive calls, letters, emails ALL the time. You never have to guess where your case is at. I have read several other reviews posted and find them to be inaccurate with the attorney that I know. Mr. Blackman takes his (your) case very serious and if you don't follow his direction, he will let you know you are screwing up. I can see that (as my son didn't always follow through in a timely manner) some might take Mr. Blackman's counsel negatively, but he is trying to get you, the client, to do the best thing for your case. My son received a stern "do this, don't do that" talking to more than once. If you need a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Blackman is your attorney. Mr. Blackman also represented my friend (from my referral) during his divorce and was very happy with the results. I think other reviews are just blaming Mr. Blackman for their mistakes or failure to follow through. At least that is my belief due to my involvement with Mr. Blackman.

I was referred to Mr Blackman to support me with a school issue my daughter was having. From the first time I spoke with him, he was rude on the phone and it seemed apparent that he really just didn't want to support the case. My wife was listening on speaker phone and when we hung up she was also surprised at Mr Blackman's demeanor. When Mr Blackman called back, I told him that I would prefer not to engage him as my wife and I did not like his demeanor. Mr Blackman then called me back several times demanding to be paid for his services. At that point I told Mr Blackman that we had not executed an agreement and I am not interested in working with him and was not paying him for his time and hung up. Mr Blackman then called me several times on my cell phone, which I pushed to voicemail using several expletives and inviting me to his office to meet face-to-face, which sounded somewhat like a threat to me.Stay away. High nut factor here.

Jeffrey has represented us, for the past two and a half months', with honesty and integrity. His knowledge and expertise have been evident in every court hearing, personal meeting and communication with opposing counsel. We are kept well informed of every aspect of our case. have, and will continue, to recommend Jeffrey to all who have need of his expertise, knowledge and tenacity. I have found that to be represented by Jeffrey Blackman is to be represented by one of the best.

I have worked with Jeffrey Blackman for over 5 years, and during that time he has been nothing less than absolutely professional and passionate about his work. I would be lying if I did not say that during the time we have worked together, due to his impeccable integrity and care for those around him, we have become more than just colleagues, I can now truly call him a friend. I would and do recommend Jeffrey to any and all in need of a serious, honest, straightforward and knowledgeable attorney. You can always count on Jeffrey to get to the hard truths, and continuously be there to point you in the right direction, even if the right path isn't always the easy path. Thank you Jeffrey!

Jeffrey is by far the worst attorney I have ever worked with. He was retained for a family law matter and did not represent our interests in the slightest. He even had the nerve to charge us for letters that he sent to us saying he had called us to remind us that we had a teleconference scheduled with him the following week. He was constantly sending the other party's attorney reminder notes for production of documents, the documents were not produced until the hearing, but nothing was ever said about it and the Judge ruled anyway.

Mr. Blackman has helped me and my family several times for legal advice and assistance. I have recommended Mr. Blackman to several friends, including 2 divorce cases, and they have been very happy with him. I have found that Mr/ Blackman is direct and to the point. Do not lie to him about your case OR not follow his legal advice. If he tells you to do something, or more importantly NOT TO DO SOMETHING, follow his advice !! Come to Mr. Blackman prepared, with the facts, and any documentation involved in your case. Do not BS him. That will hurt your case and lead him down the wrong road until the truth comes out. He can not help you correctly if you are not straight with him. Ask him to clarify Attorney and client privilege so you understand why the truth is important. Mr. Blackman is very thorough and knows what he is doing.

I recommend checking with the AZ State Bar and/or doing a public records background check before hiring this man. In hindsight I cannot recommend him. Jeffrey Blackman actually obtains some of his business through a referral arrangement he has with another lawyer named Dennis Grey, where in exchange for the referrals he pays Dennis Grey a 10% finders fee. In other words 10% of what Jeffrey Blackman charges, goes to Dennis Grey. Jeffery Blackman withdrew from my case before it got off the ground, claiming "the attorney client relationship was broken". We had only appeared for two five minute continuances of pretrial conferences but he claimed he had done almost $13000 worth of work. Dennis Grey had even returned his 10% to Jeffrey Blackman, and Jeffrey Blackman kept a portion of that too. I ended up hiring another lawyer who charged less, and did a better job.
