Our firm was founded by our father and mentor Virgil Jackson in 1971 in the mid-wilshire area of Los Angeles, California. He was able to use the knowledge he had gained working for insurance companies to help victims of accidents obtain fair compensation for their injuries. Over the years he continued to focus his practice on helping injury victims, particularly those with work injuries. He earned an excellent reputation among his peers, judges and court personnel as a compassionate and tenacious advocate who fought tough yet fairly to obtain the full measure of compensation for his clients. Mr. Jackson’s excellent reputation for results quickly spread throughout Los Angeles and surrounding counties and his practice flourished with most of his clients being referred by other clients.

I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California. My practice is limited to criminal defense and juvenile cases. The criminal cases I am accepting include everything from trespass to driving under the influence to murder. I have tried cases ranging from trespass to murder, including a death penalty case. I have lost track of the number of trials I have done, but the number is in the hundreds. The juvenile cases I accept include delinquency cases (representing minors charged with crimes) and dependency cases (usually representing parents who are charged with neglecting their children (often due to drug abuse) where the county has taken the children away from the parents and may be trying to terminate the parent's parental rights so the children can be placed for adoption.
