Client Reviews

Recently had Attorney Kathleen Jackson as legal counsel for tenant/landlord case. Must say she did a great job in such a short period of time. Was able to review and make the best decisions to resolve the case without having to go to trial within a small window of time.

Trevor P., Client

Attorney Kathleen Jackson was able to resolve a number of outstanding warrants for me very quickly. I am living in Florida, and was unable to obtain my drivers license. She was able to go to multiple courts, and resolve the warrants on my behalf. Attorney Jackson was completely professional, and I was able to get my license 2 days later. Thank you so much for helping me get my life back on track!

Patrick K., Client

I hired Kathleen Jackson to represent a relative in a matter with the MA Department of Motor Vehicles. She was supportive, efficient, kind and a great advocate.

Lucy F., Client

Attorney Jackson gave me some advice about two things: 1) Negotiating Mass Health and EBT cards, and 2) My Sister who was dealing with some health issues and might have needed to be moved to MA. She was forthright, kind and clear in her information. What stood out was her desire to help the needy. Thank you Ms Jackson for looking after folks who can’t always take care of themselves.

Tom T., Client

While visiting family in the Berkshires, I found myself in urgent need of an attorney. I interviewed several. Kathleen Jackson was strategic, tactful, professional and fully prepared in court for all contingencies. I found Kathleen Jackson thoroughly forthright whether dealing with billing, representation for me or courtroom dialogue with her peers and court colleagues. I recommend her work wholeheartedly and without reservation.
