COMPLETE FRAUD!! STAY FAR AWAY!

I had multiple calls with Yaakov Rappaport before hiring him and then nothing. He never returned my calls or did the work I hired him for and paid. Buyer beware!

Outstanding attorney with exceptional knowledge on protecting clients

Our real estate firm has used Jacob on every transaction to date and we can’t think of a better attorney to not only protect us, but save us tremendous amounts of money in the transaction. Anywhere from negotiations with the seller’s attorney, bank’s attorneys, or just simply how to save on transfer ...costs, we can’t think of a better attorney to be on your side!

General practice lawyer | Apr 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of working with Yaakov recently on two complex legal matters, one relating to an interpleader action in the US District Court (MD) and the other a conflict of laws issue (MD v. PA) concerning the appointment of a trustee for a minor's tort recovery following a catastrophic car accident. His keen analytic abilities were readily evident in both instances, as was his ability to simplify, for the clients' benefit, difficult legal concepts. I endorse Yaakov without reservation."

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.
