J&A HOME: ABOUT US: management team

Experience, leadership, vision, and integrity.

Jackson & Associates, Inc. is a privately-held professional law corporation, and a family-run enterprise. As a law firm with a history in mortgage banking and real estate that dates back to the early 1980s, we were there when REO first started to develop into a viable market. In fact, we were the first law firm to commence a nationwide operation managing REO evictions for our clients in the mortgage banking industry.

Our executives possess a diverse background that spans various legal, business, and technical fields. In the aggregate, management at Jackson & Associates possesses over 25 years of experience in the REO industry.
