About Jacob
Biography
As much as I consider myself a legal generalist, I am also highly knowledgeable in several areas of law to be able to offer services at a level expected of an expert in his field.
Upon graduation from Villanova’s Masters in Taxation program, I embarked on a career that afforded my clients the full spectrum of services from estate planning, including fiduciary taxation, to estate administration and probate. Having worked at accounting firms as well as law firms, I am highly regarded as an expert in my field providing my clients with a complete spectrum of the work I do for them from its inception to completion.
In connection with my expertise in international matters having to do with tax and law, I also provide a complete array of services to the import and export business community in connection with their customs requirements and export controls. Having developed a passion for international trade, I embarked on an intensive self study and hands on learning of customs regulations and export controls.

Do not hire this guy
Jacob took a very long time to produce the trust documents for my elderly dad and disabled sister that we hired him for. He was not very responsive between drafts of the documents. He completely GHOSTED me once they were signed, forcing me to hire other professionals to complete what he had promis...

Replied last April 23, 2025I was fighting cancer at the same time as trying to service clients. Now, I battle post surgical neuropathy which makes things slower, but the work gets done. I would think that if these clients knew at the time my life was at risk due to cancer they would not have posted these reviews.
