Trustworthy attorney

Travis Jacobs is an amazing competent and trustworthy attorney. During my first phone call with him, I knew I was in a good hand for I could feel that he cared about me as an individual, not just another client. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about the law but also worked with me to ensure th...at I fully understand the whole process. Further, he treated me with respect, and kept me well informed the whole time via phone and emails for quick responses and updates. The communication from the beginning of the process to the end was superb! I am very grateful to him for representing me and the result is satisfying. I would highly recommend Attorney Travis Jacobs with no reservations to anyone who is looking for a legal representation that is honest, fair, and will truly keep your best interest and needs at the forefront.

5 Star Service!

The Jacobs Law provided 5 Star Service. From initial contact until the service was complete, they were caring professionals for my needs. They were always responsive, communicated effectively, listened to my concerns and knowledgeable of the Law for what I needed. As most were quoting a week to es...tablish my LLC Business Entity and IRS EIN, The Jacobs Law completed it in a matter of a few hours. I will use The Jacobs Law for all Business Law needs I have in the future. Thanks The Jacobs Law!

Client

Our company hired Mr. Jacobs to represent us in a rather difficult business matter. Mr. Jacobs spent time to thoroughly examine documents, asked questions that we did not even contemplate and ended up giving us an advice that clearly worked out to resolve the situation to the best possible outcome f...or our company. Furthermore, Mr. Jacobs was extremely patient and understanding when it came to getting rather different feedback from various owners and officers and guided us to resolving our internal differences of opinion. Always followed up on any conversation and kept on top of the situation from day one until final resolution. Highly professional, knowledgeable and reliable legal counsel. Would definitely recommend Mr. Jacobs and his firm to anyone seeking a business attorney to represent their company on regular basis or just resolve a single issue.

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.
