Reviews
I have had the privilege of using Jeremy Sackett in some much needed times. He’s been professional, respectable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, helpful and all around kind in the years that I’ve needed his services. He’s reasonably priced and he’s GREAT at his job. He’s always been patient and understanding with every situation I’ve brought to him. My two sisters have also had to seek legal advice in the past and I always have and always will recommend Jeremy. There’s honestly not enough things I can say to explain the amount of help he’s given me over the years. Thank you Jeremy!! A+++
Mr. Jeremy Sackett performed brilliantly concerning my case. I drive part-time for income. Jeremy was able to help my driving record. He loves his job; moreover, he has an excellent rapport with courthouse employees. Keith Cook, Granite City
Jeremy has been professional and prompt since day 1. Honest, friendly, and straight to the point. 5 stars all the way
Jeremy helped me no matter if I hire him or not. He was very helpful and kind. He provided me with knowledge I would have had to pay for elsewhere. I will be back if needed and recommend him to anyone who may need his services. Big things to his office.
We have been through several attorneys over the past 4 years that have given bad advice, false billing, overcharged, being lied too (attorneys coming to court and not being prepared) and made matters worse, dragging things out. We went to Devin DiDominicus and he was very nice,knowledgeable, tells your options and advice, he has done more in the first month than all the other attorneys combined over 4 years, if we would have went to Devin in the first place we would have saved thousands of dollars and it would have been over. I would highly recommend Devin, he is Honest and gets things done (which is hard to find in Madison county as we found out) and his rates are reasonable. (We greatly appreciate what he has done for us) he is definitely good at what he does, I would give you 100 stars if I could. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
