Great work

I reached out Christopher Jacobs on a legal matter I had with debt collectors about a account that was bought from the original debtor which someone had got my card and ran up a huge bill. He settled the whole thing for a third of the price and petitioned the collectors to remove it from me credit an...d with no hassel to me no phone or letters just results

Resolved Debit Judgement

Christopher Jacobs did a great job of getting my judgment dismissed. I had 2 judgements with the same company which he resolved booth of them for me. I was pleased that he was able to resolve with no payment to the company my balance was zero and more importantly removed from credit bureau. What wa...s really appreciated was he did not promise anything he was upfront as to what could happen. The staff was also very helpful. Will definably recommend him to anyone needing his service.

Highly Recommended Debt Attorney

Four months ago I served a Summons and informed that I was being sued by a Debt Purchasing company who had purchased an old credit card debt several years earlier. Right at that time I started receiving multiple pieces of mail from Attorney’s offices offering their services. I took 5 of those and em...ailed all 5 with the details of my situation. I asked if they help me? What the costs to me would be? And what they expected the outcome of the case to be? I received an almost immediate response from Christopher Jacobs. The other 4 companies didn’t even bother responding to my inquiry. He replied and let me know that he could help with my case, the one time flat fee to me (which he allowed me to pay in 3 equal installments) and that he expected to settle for a little as $1000 on a $7200 debt. I provided Christopher with a copy of the summons via email, paid him his fee and waited for the final result. It took about around 3.5 months and I got an email from Christopher stating that he had managed to settle the debt for a one-time payment of $500. I signed the agreement and submitted the payment to the Debt Purchasing company to settle the account. I highly recommend Christopher Jacobs to any and all who are being harassed or sued by debt companies. He was always prompt in his responses, professional and knowledgeable and in my corner. He was there to make sure I wasn’t taken advantage of without appropriate legal representation and he did a great job getting this debt significantly reduced and ultimately removed from my credit report completely.

Fast & Effective

Chris helped me resolve a major issue with a creditor that was taking me to court for a debt that was not valid. Within just a couple weeks he had it fully dismissed and even made them remove it from my credit report. He took the case and acted fast! I would recommend his services to anyone I know!

"I endorse this lawyer's work: I have been acquainted with Mr. Jacobs since we were both felony prosecutors. Mr. Jacobs is a fine a criminal defense lawyer; prior prosecution experience affords Mr. Jacobs intimate knowledge of the criminal justice system. Mr. Jacobs always makes himself available to clients and is a great teacher of the law to clients. Not only is he a competent attorney, but he wears a seersucker suit with great panache. I am so confident of Mr. Jacobs abilities as a lawyer, I would recommend family members and friends to Mr. Jacobs, should the need ever arise."
