 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Jack Downie is not only an easy going guy he is also a great lawyer. I was fighting a DUI out of Soperton GA and he was able to get the charges reduced to reckless driving. Saving me from license suspension, points and a huge headache. Jessica and Jack are so very kind and understanding and they handled everything for me with the upmost care and professionalism. I would highly recommend his help if you get in any trouble around the Vidalia/ Dublin area.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Jack Downie and his team highly enough. I was facing a second DUI charge, and with an already extensive criminal record, I knew the odds were stacked against me. From day one, Mr. Downie treated me with respect, not judgment. He was upfront, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable about how to handle my case.

He took the time to explain all my options clearly and fought hard on my behalf. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the outcome was far better than I expected. He didn’t just see another case — he saw a person worth helping.

If you’re in legal trouble and need someone who will fight for you and not give up, Jack Downie is the attorney you want on your side. Thanks again brother.        -James McKenna

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Downie Law to handle a pending felony case, and I highly recommend Jack for any legal matter. From the beginning, he clearly explained every step of the process and what to expect. Just as he said, the case was ultimately dismissed. Jack delivered exactly the results he promised. Outstanding representation.
