Janet and Leo Jackson are two of five children of Clare Garvey Jackson and Leo Jackson who were happily married for almost 25 years before their father’s sudden death due to a heart attack at work in February 1980.
In significant part because of our father’s manner of death, our law firm has a long history of representing injured workers and their families. Our mother was a high school graduate and a stay at home mom when we were growing up. She worked at a small independent bookstore after her children were raised and before her death as a result of a sudden heart attack in May 1999. Our father’s formal education ended at eighth grade and my parents put a strong emphasis on the value of education.
