About Jonas

Consumers, and business owners, will appreciate the litigation experience I bring to managing their issues. I handle all types of civil litigation related to money owed, and money owing. That includes bankruptcy. If you are in debt, or if someone owes you money, you call me for help. Likewise, if you are facing foreclosure, and want to pursue the bank - I am your man.

I try to avoid litigation, where possible, especially if  the client has an on-going relationship with the potential defendant. However, I am perfectly comfortable taking a matter to a jury, and have participated in a number of trials, including before a jury.

I am willing to handle business litigation matters on very short notice, particularly those involving attachments or injunctions.

 

I also serve as a resource for start-up businesses, providing counseling surrounding incorporation, contracting, employee relationships, and basic intellectual property issues.

 

I started my practice after having attended the evening program at Suffolk University Law School. I worked all through school at several Boston area firms where I received terrific training. Working as a solo practitioner, I know I can provide tremendous value to my clients. It is in providing value that I take personal satisfaction from the practice of law.

Review Jonas Jacobson

Extremely competent, professional and honest over almost 4 year period case with Wells Fargo

Posted by

Over the almost 4 year period since we hired Jonas Jacobson, he has very professional in his service and diligent in his work on my case. The case was due to Wells Fargo wrongly foreclosing on my home in Lexington, Mass and Jacobson succeeded in taking all the necessary steps to handle this less-than-ideal situation, worked out a very good settlement agreement with Wells Fargo (after having to do a long appeal) and just today handled the closing so that we have paid off this bank, severing our connection with them and salvaging our over $200,000 of equity that would have been lost otherwise. I am extremely grateful to have found Jonas Jacobson and I can personally say the he is the most honest, fair and dedicated lawyer I have ever worked with. I highly recommend him for similar cases or others that he handles.
