WON'T FIND ANYONE BETTER THAN JAKE!!!!!

From the first phone call to Jacob's office thru leaving the courtroom on my hearing day, I couldn't have asked for a more positive,honest,and professional experience.

First offense, DUI

Not knowing anything about hiring a lawyer, I found Mr. Wyland via a Google search. The first thing I noticed about him was that he was not trying to "sell" me on his services. Nearly every other lawyer I talked to (about 4) seemed as if they were more interested in telling me what they could do for ...me. Nobody really asked many questions about my situation, save for Mr. Wyland. His office was convenient enough for me to locate on the way home from work with no problem. His receptionist is awesome; always willing to help and always has an answer to whatever question you might have. Throughout the months long process, Mr. Wyland kept me abreast of my court dates and the procedures that I needed to follow. He showed up for court on time and nurtured his already strong and trusting relationship with other lawyers, court personnel and county officials. I realized that I had broken the law and was willing to gladly accept whatever punishment was handed down to me. I believe Mr. Wyland conveyed that message in such a way that led to me being treated with dignity and respect by all parties throughout the process. After court proceedings were over, he showed me to other places that I needed to visit within the courthouse, and explained everything thoroughly for me to understand. I believe that Mr. Wyland alone was the sole reason I was treated so fairly during the court process. It was almost uneventful enough for me to forget that I had been charged with a crime for a moment. I cannot recommend Mr. Wyland and his services enough. He backs up his claims with appropriate action and honesty. I am very pleased with his services and will definitely seek him out again should I ever be in the market for a lawyer. I can now go about my life and do what I must do to put this mistake behind me, while at the same time being optimistic and thankful that Mr. Wyland was able to help me get through this with minor inconveniences.

No doubt the right choice

Jacob put me at ease about my situation with our first consultation. He listened with both ears to every word I said and took handwritten notes. At no time did he interrupt or speak unless he needed clarification. He has no preconceived notions. Only after clearly listening and understanding the fact...s from both sides did he lay out my options. Jacob is very responsive and either he personally, or his right hand was in contact throughout the whole ordeal. I wish I could review the front desk. She is 5 star also. Once we decided on a plan he told me what to expect and he was dead on right every step of the way. He's there when you need him, to say the least. He knows his area of expertise very well and brought about a surprisingly good outcome to what to me seemed a hopeless situation. I'd recommend Jacob Wyland to family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who needs a truly professional criminal defense lawyer.

Beyond Expectations

Words do not do justice for the relief I feel after being represented by Mr. Wyland. From the very beginning, Jacob's way of finding business did a service in helping me to even have knowledge of the legal situation coming my way. If it were not for his early knowledge of cases, I would have ha...d no clue what was happening against me until something more unfortunate could have happened in the future. Once we knew what was happening, Jacob guided us on what to expect from the very beginning; even the process involved with turning one's self in & how to handle the system shock of what we were going to be exposed to. It was really a nightmare, but he made it not so traumatizing to deal with given the guidance from him of what to expect next in order to stay confident and not too personally burdened completely. His knowledge from working both sides of the court system is extensive. Professional treatment, with at the fly available client interaction between Mr. Wyland or via his assistant Lisa. If you are put in that same moment as I was with no experience of the justice system, and want to be represented honestly & fairly, then I would highly recommend Jacob Wyland as your legal aide. This man will do what is right if you do just the same by him in return. Thank you.
