Attorney and Counselor at Law
Our new website is unveiled today, free of charge courtesy of the good folks at Free Website Templates.
We now offer substantial fee discounts for all military personnel, and for families of those who are deployed. We are honored to serve the heroes who serve our Country.
The Law Office of Charles A. Jones Jr strongly believes that your access to expert legal help should not be limited because of finances. In most cases we will be glad to work out a payment plan that fits your budget. We can also perform some services on a flat-rate basis, where you pay only one up-front fee for the service.
Ordinarily, an Attorney needs to get paid for his work just as you would pay any other professional, such as a doctor or dentist. For exceptional cases, where your case appears to have strong merit and you are unable to proceed any other way, we may be able to discuss a contingency fee in cases where it is ethically permissible.
NOTE: "Contingent fees" and "no fee unless we win" refer only to those fees charged by an Attorney for his legal services. Court costs and other additional expenses of litigation must usually be paid by the Client. Contingent fees are not permitted in all types of cases.
Yes. Your first hour consultation with Attorney Charles Jones is free. An attorney-client relationship is only formed, however, after you and the Firm sign a Letter of Representation and fee agreement. An initial consultation does not guarantee that the Law Office of Charles Jones will take your case.
Yes. We understand our clients' busy work and school schedules, and are happy to schedule evening and weekend appointments as necessary.
It's always best to have an attorney even in Small Claims Court, because the other party will likely have an expert attorney on his side. However, the Firm does offer procedural coaching in terms of showing you what a hearing will be like, what documents you can file, how to subpoena and examine witnesses, etc. The fee will be less than if the Firm represented you in the actual case.
We will be glad to consult with you about your case, and if we take your case we will do our very best for you. But, even though they may seem similar, every case is different, and every judge and jury are different. There are no guarantees as to how your case will turn out.
On this website there are public-record copies filings made by the Firm in the Athens Noise Ordinance case. Please understand, however, that past successes do not guarantee future results; every case is different.
A Landlord must have a Court order before he can evict you, change your locks, or do anything with your belongings. Before a Court issues such an order you must be given notice and an opportunity to explain your side to the Judge. If you have been threatened by your Landlord, contact us TODAY for an appointment.
Contact us IMMEDIATELY for an appointment. Mention to the person making your appointment that you have an eviction matter. Evictions move very quickly in Georgia; you have only 7 days to hire a lawyer and respond to the eviction in Court.
You should never be intimidated by high-pressure tactics into giving up your legal rights or paying money that you may not owe. Ultimately, no matter how high-powered the lawyer or how huge the company, every factual disagreement in a case is decided by a Jury of ordinary men and women. Contact us for an appointment and we will be glad to consult with you about your case and explain your options.
It is our Firm's policy not to accept any divorce or divorce-related cases. We will be glad to refer you to an attorney who is an expert in such matters, or to a relationship counselor.
