About Richard

I graduated from American University in Washington, D.C., with a major in finance and accounting in 1987. I waited three years before entering the Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles, receiving my Juris Doctor in 1993. I worked briefly as a clerk in the United States Attorney’s Office in Las Vegas and then joined my father Melvyn Jacoby’s firm in 1994.

I am a member of the Suffolk County Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

Great Lawyer

Richard Jacoby was my lawyer for bankruptcy. He did an excellent job and I would recommend him to other people. He is very knowledgeable and seems to have all the answers.

Outstanding!

I had a few life-changing events happen in the past few years and was in close to $50,000 of debt on top of that. I knew my last resort was Bankruptcy, and didn't know where to go. A friend referred me to Richard Jacoby of Jacoby & Jacoby. From my very first consultation with the firm, I knew I was in good hands. My big concern was payment and they worked out a monthly payment plan for me. The firm really made a trying time so much easier. Now, I am debt free and starting a new life. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks Richard!
