Reviews

Jozefa has been my attorney for years. I recently needed to hire her again which resulted in a custody hearing, and she is currently preparing for my support appeal next week. I normally do not write reviews. I feel a person or product should stand on their own merit. That being said, I felt I needed to write this one because I happened to see the negative review written a couple weeks ago. My experience with Jozefa, historically and over the last few months while preparing for my custody hearing and this month preparing for my complex support appeal hearing, have been nothing but positive. She has never over-charged me, and has spent untold hours preparing for my cases. Actually, she is doing that right now. She is always responsive, even during the last few months when dealing with a serious medical issue of her family member.......sometimes even from the hospital which is located out-of-state. She is professional, and a real force to be reckoned with in court. Jozefa understands that it is hard going through a custody battle. She is accommodating and compassionate, but makes you understand that you need to look past your emotions in order to focus on the things that will win your case. Sometimes I didn't want to hear it, but I listened to her and I am so glad that I did. Prior to the custody battle a couple months ago, my time with my son was rather limited. It is hard going through a custody battle as a man. You are told that there is no gender bias in court, but it is hard to believe that it doesn't actually end up that way. I can tell you that Jozefa was right. I never really thought that I would have so much significant time with my son but now I do. Jozefa made sure I was treated fair, and thanks to Jozefa now my son actually spends significant time with my side family too, who live a few hours away!!!! He finally got to spend a few weeks this summer with his grandparents!! Anybody who thinks back knows spending time with grandma and grandpa are some of the best times of your early life. Thanks to Jozefa, not only does my son have great memories of me that keep on accumulating, but he has memories of my family that will help shape him into a fine young man. Thank you, Jozefa. You're the best.

Jozefa has been our lawyer for over 10 years-- that might seem like a long because it is! She has stuck by us, helped us, guided us, fought for us, listened to us, cried with us, and laughed with us. Fighting for for your child is hard and the court system is not always designed to help---especially when you are the father. Jozefa is designed to help. She respects the law and loves her clients. Her knowledge of the family court system is only matched by the care she provides to her clients. In one week we will no longer need her as a lawyer (because she has been awesome!), but we have gained a friend for life. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Your kids need and deserve her.

Having been through the court system before with custody issues, let me tell you, if you need a lawyer that has your child's best interest at heart, THIS IS YOUR LAWYER! If you need a support and sound advice, THIS IS YOUR LAWYER! If you want to lie, manipulate, or otherwise compromise your child's best interest, seek counsel elsewhere. You get what you pay for, and every dollar is well spent with Ms. Jackson. She is a force to be reckoned with.

I knew I wanted Jozefa Jackson before I even scheduled the consultation! Our brief conversation on the phone let me know instantly that she knew what she was doing, and that I needed her on my side. This woman gets things DONE, she doesn't mess around! Aside from advocating for my child, she is well respected, and it shows. Do yourself, and your child (ren) a favor if you find yourself in need counsel, by retaining Ms. Jackson. She is thorough, she is up front, she is honest, and she gets the job DONE! Worth every dollar, and really, much more. If you want someone to help you lie, manipulate, or compromise your child, go elsewhere. She won't help you with that.

Jozefa Jackson is a top notch attorney. I hired her to handle my divorce, child support and custody hearing; And I’m so glad I did! I am so grateful for all she has done for me and my children and our future. Her advice and guidance is why we have a bright future today. Jozefa's many years of experience was obvious. I could not of hired a better attorney. From our first consultation, she was on target with insight and relevant guidance. She knew exactly what to do at all times, all the way up to the end. The information and guidance she gave me throughout the whole process, including every little detail and constant daily support was truly invaluable! I believe she made all the difference, and she was worth every penny. I could always count on Jozefa. She genuinely cared about me and my children, which was apparent over and over. Jozefa constantly worked hard for me - even after hours when I needed her - she would respond. I never felt alone; She was always there for me. Jozefa made this process so much better and so much easier, as my custody case was layered and quite complicated. Jozefa made it more bearable and in the end the future of my children has been secured and I can never thank her enough. She treated me with exceptional kindness and care, as she repeatedly went over and above what I expected from a lawyer. I consider her a friend for life. She is a very strong, competent, and confident lawyer. Hands-down jozefa is the right choice if you're looking for an open, honest, and upfront lawyer. She was the perfect match for me. Sherri

Jozefa is a phenomenal lawyer! She helped my best friend with custody of her three children. She certainly does her homework and knows her way around the court room. Sweet woman, thorough, dedicated and very smart. I would recommend her highly!

I have personally known Jozefa since 1989, she was the Godsend I didn't even know I needed at the time. Thank God she went to Law school. She is my personal Olivia Pope. My son in law is suing my daughter for Child Custody. Lets just say its a messy mess, Jozefa, starts making order and sense of it counsels my daughter. We are in the midst of it. Jozefa will leave no stone unturned will not waste your time or money charging you for things that aren't necessary. She's bright, super smart, funny, cunning would not want to be on the receiving end. She fights hard for her clients. Very well spoken, comfortable in tight spots, she is Olivia Pope. I can't help but compare her to the lead character in Scandal, but Jozefa definitely reminds me of her. I love this Woman, she's my hero. She did a Bankruptcy for us years ago she did a super job. Jozefa I'm glad I met you you are a great person, friend, a major asset to Legal Community, a Top Gun who gets results for her clients. Thank you Jozefa

She knows her cases, she cares about her clients. she makes me feel important, she doesn't treat me like a job... She cares about my kids too! She is honest, she won't do things unnecessarily just to run up your bill. I would be lost without her!

I originally hired Jozefa a year ago for child custody and have re-hired her a little over a month ago. I have been dealing with a very challenging child custody situation for 13 yrs. I have hired other attorneys in the past and was displeased with their apathy, lack of work on my case and and gross over-charging methods. I was shocked at how reasonable Jozefa's rates are. She charged me HALF of what another attorney charged me TEN years ago, when I first had to go to court for conferences. Jozefa has a heart for children. She is a true advocate and cares very deeply for the children and what they are going through. She fought my case with integrity, grace and energy! She was prepared far more than any other attorney I have ever seen. She knew my case from memory and presented very strong every time we went to court. She was very good about getting back to me quickly with answers to my questions, and guiding me through the court process. I read these reviews before I met her. I am glad I ignored the ONE negative review. The fact that there were inconsistencies in that negative review, made me question the validity of the complaint. Jozefa does not deserve that nasty review. It certainly was not MY experience or that of others whom I have talked to that hired her. She came highly recommended to me as well. Her main goal is the children, protecting them and fighting for their rights. That was my focus as well, so she was the right attorney for me!! My family and I will ALWAYS be thankful for what she did for us. I am so thankful to have met her and highly recommend her!

I hired Jozefa Jackson as my attorney in our custody battle. She worked so hard on our case. When she went into the court room she was completely prepared and ready for everything. The best part of working with her she was honest, never given false hope, and never asking us to twist the truth like other attorneys we had spoken to. She is very knowledgeable with the law and practice. She knows how to help make a bad situation bearable for not only myself and husband but for my young children. She made it possible to keep my children safe. I could never thank her enough. If you are looking for someone that will work their hardest and make your case as important as their own, she is the attorney for you. You'd be lucky to have her on your side!

I would never write a review unless I had a need to share an experience that was so overwhelming. I was more emotional and scared than I ever was in my entire life when I went to see Jozefa Jackson for a consultation. I thought I would lose my son. There were so many threats. She calmly let me know what needed to be done, and then she proceeded to make the horrible situation go away. She told me she "couldn't guarantee any specific results", but she helped achieve more than I could have hoped for. I can only say one thing: If you are in a custody battle, make sure you have an attorney that cares more about your child than she does about money. Mine did.

Ms. Jackson not only helped me to retain custody of my daughter, she guided me and advised me. In short, this attorney saved my sanity during the most stressful time of my life. Thank you.
