There are plenty of places you can get authentic jordans. Any of these chain stores such as Finishline, Olympia, Fottlocker(and of couurse if there is a Niketown near you)etc. would not sell fakes. If they ever got caught doing so, they would lose their Nike accounts and that's the last thing they want to do. The problem witth these places is that you're probably not going to get any rare, quickstrike, or older releases(except Niketown). For that, your either going to have to follow the lastest news on releases and wait in lines at certain stores, or you're going to have to pay premium prices at boutiques or online at reputable sites.
