We work very hard to make sure that you, our clients, are taken care of down to the finest detail in every case. We find that this establishes relationships with our clients that last generations. Here are some of our clients that appreciate our work:. After being rear ended in an automobile accident and receiving injuries that required surgery, I hired an advertising law firm to handle my case.  I was neither satisfied with the direction the case was taking, nor was I enthused with the progress reports I had been receiving. After dead end results, my case was placed in the hands of Attorney Austin Jackson. Once my case was placed in his hands, and, in a short time, the results were unbelievably rewarding. The insurance companies knew that they were dealing with an attorney who would not settle for anything but what was right and fair to his client. Most importantly, I found him to be a great man of integrity. I would highly recommend Attorney Austin Jackson to anyone who has found themselves at a dead end with other unsuccessful means of representation. You will be glad you did. I know that I am.. - Mark A.. I am a licensed realtor and a single mom living in Georgia. As a realtor, I am also considered an independent business owner. This also comes with the fact that my position is commission driven–no work no pay and no car no work. While coming from a house showing, and heading back to my office, I became involved in a head-on collision. A driver made  a turn  from a side street into my path. Within seconds, a second car, traveling in the oncoming lane, swerved into my lane to avoid the turning car.  The second car hit me, causing a big head-on collision.  The pain that rushed through my body was just excruciating. My car was totalled and not drive-able. Thoughts rushed through my mind, as pain rushed through my body. We have all heard the many fancy commercials, as lawyers brag about what they will do to win your case. I did call one of those famous law firms and signed a contract for their representation in my case.  After a long 5 months, I found that I could not get that famous firm to return a simple phone call. I thought the law firm I chose really meant what was said in their commercial. Instead, I was the one  speaking to  the insurance companies, the wrecker company, the hospital bill collectors, and  the rental car company. I called many times to that law firm and many times calls were never returned.  I really did not know what was worse: the insurance company that really did not want to pay me for my pain and suffering, or the law firm that was too busy to return my call. Thankfully I was introduced to Mr. Austin Jackson. I took my case from that “one call that’s all” firm, and engaged Mr. Jackson after he flew to my city and met personally with me. He explained my case and what he could do  to resolve my claim. He answered every call I made to him. He showed me that he truly cared about his clients.  He resolved my case and went after both insurance companies–the at-fault driver’s insurance and my own underinsured motorist coverage. Mr. Jackson resolved my case in less than one month.  I am thankful to Mr Jackson. If you are injured and need a real lawyer, not a television lawyer, then call Mr. Austin Jackson. You too will be thanking him.. - Sonia M.. My wife and I were in a major automobile accident in December of 2014.  After the accident, I was overwhelmed with phone calls, emails, medical bills, and letters concerning the accident. There was a property damage claim and personal injury claims, and I had no idea where to start.  After I realized there was some question about whether the driver that hit us was insured, I decided to call the Law Office of Austin Jackson.  I met with Mr. Jackson face to face and gave him all my information.  When I left his office I felt a huge burden was lifted from my shoulders. I knew I was in good hands and no longer had to worry about phone calls from the insurance company, adjusters, medical bills, legal notices, or anything that had to do with the accident. Mr. Jackson took care of everything, and would even call us periodically with an update on our case. Our claim was settled in a timely manner with no delays. We are completely satisfied with the outcome and the representation we received. It is because of Mr. Jackson’s hard work and persistence that we were able to reach a fair settlement, something that I never could have done on my own. An automobile accident can be devastating. Trying to figure out how to handle the aftermath without qualified legal counsel can only make it worse. I would highly recommend the Law Office of Austin Jackson to anyone in need of legal counsel.. -Jim B.
