On Your Side 100% From Start to Finish

I called Mr. Jacks in April as I needed correspondence for my divorce. If you want to go to only 1 attorney and not have to change in the middle of the process, go to Mr. David Jacks. Mr. Jacks is the type of attorney you can count on for life! I'm serious, like needing any other professional like... your physician, dentist, accountant, mentor, go to David Jacks because Mr. Jacks is the type of attorney you'll want to come back to if you have any future legal issues in your life. Mr. Jacks will be your ace.

Excellent Attorney

I consulted with David on a child custody matter. Excellent advise on how to proceed! I appreciate his honesty, and his great knowledge that he gave me! I will use him as my Attorney in the future!

AMAZING!

Mr. Jack, Did both my cases at once for child custody and grandparent rights. We randomly got a referral for him from another law office that was full on clients, and We are so glad we did. He was there since the first day to the last and more. Anytime I needed to call him, he was there and answe...red. This was my first time with anything court related like this, and he made me feel much calmer. I’d worry, and ask him a million things and he’d answer all million and told me how it is, how it works and so forth. He got us exactly what we wanted from grandparent rights to the custody case (actually more then we expected, cause 1 phone call a week was much better then the 2 they normally get). The thing we loved was he was always honest and straight forward, he will tell you a apple is a apple, not make you think a apples a orange weather you like it or not and he is right, and keeps you in reality, and that’s what you need when your using you hard earned money, you want it to go to something you know will be worth it verse a lawyer who will just Milk you for your money. We absolutely appreciate and loved having Mr. jack & if we need him again we will be back without a doubt. Thank you for all you did & always treating us like people & understanding. If your looking for family, or personal injury, he will get you the results. If you have questions he will do a consult and of any places I called I can tell you his was by far the best, he actually will look at your case and see & tell you which is also something that sold us of all 23 places he was the ONLY one to take a look and give a honest advice, like really out of his time and day not even knowing if we’d retain him, that there shows how much he cares for people and the big hearty he has! If you have any questions, call him! It’s all worth it, trust me. THANK YOU AGAIN.

David Jacks is one of the BEST out there!

He will advocate for you, listen to you without judgement, and help you explore all creative ways to get what you want. He thinks outside the box and is beyond patient. Especially when dealing with sensitive family matters, patience is key, and David could not handle tough situations with more patien...ce, grace, kindness, and compassion. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him if you need any help with family matters, his stellar yelp reviews are all there for a reason! His office is very clean and no frills/no nonsense. Jamie is also super on top of everything. From the initial consultation all the way to getting me exactly what I needed, David was on my side 1000% and you can be sure you are in the best hands if you choose to have him advocate for you.

Hire this team!!!

This is a second review because I hired The Jacks a second time for another challenging trial with my Ex. I am still in awe of the staff. They had me work closely with his office team, Leah and Jamie, to keep my costs down. They are amazing. They know my case like the back of their hand. Communicati...on is always easy and always very honest. This team is very caring and straight forward. I was never surprised because they always set realistic expectations for me. When it came time to go to court, we were looking at at minimum another year. Mr. Jacks sat down with my ex and I, and very patiently found a settlement that we could both agree on. He and I have not agreed on anything in about 10 years yet with his help we found something we are both satisfied with. I am still shocked this could happen at all. Mr. Jacks is my go to attorney! He has, in my opinion, absolutely amazing and has the best team working for him. They all do what is right for the client, even if it is not lining their pockets. Mr. Jacks could have easily agreed to go to another court/trial and increase his fees. He didn't. I would recommend this legal team again and again. If you have a hard situation and need someone who will tackle an issue, call them!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
