Jackson Phillips, Esquire

Jackson Phillips, Esquire was only permitted to become an attorney after of years of pleading for admission. His past was a hair's breadth from permanent disqualification. If you meet him, he will probably be the only lawyer you know whose first four appearances in court were spent sitting in the criminal defendant's chair. You see, Jackson is a recovering alcoholic. He has been arrested for three DUIs and other alcohol related offenses. Today, he is 5+ years sober, has no excuses for his actions, and counts every day as a blessing.

At the same time, Jackson was trying to fight off bipolar disorder. The associated darkness resulted in him nearly not getting through Law School because of a super daytime somnolence. He couldn't keep his eyes open and often slept 18 hours a day. That is when he wasn't abusing alcohol or carrying on manic behaviors so serious that he ruined his name in the international press.

10 years ago, nobody thought Jackson would amount to anything. Nobody even believed that Jackson was a lawyer. What Jackson was, was a man who was struggling. Those struggles brought within inches of death and he committed actions that risked the lives and health of others, but he held firm to one belief. That belief is what Jackson wants to stand for. It is also why he can relate to clients better than most attorneys. The belief is that, "You are never too old to get your shit together." That is what Jackson managed to do. He found the proper treatment for his bipolar disorder, and today his symptoms are almost non-existent. It may sound cliche, but he found God in the Twelve-Step AA programs he attended. He willed his way to change himself when even his closest friends and family thought it was possible.

Understand this- This is a man who will not judge you. Hell, he has probably stood in your exact shoes. This is an attorney that will listen to you regardless of what others are saying. Nobody forfeits their chance for a consultation because of a past act because what matters is the present and the future. All Jackson asks is that you be open, honest, and willing to own up to the truth. If you are, he will fight to get you the best possible outcome for your circumstances because he knows you, just like him, are never too old to get your shit together."
