Beatrice Sara Jacobs

I engaged Beatrice Jacobs as my divorce attorney, and I must express my concerns about her services. The representations made on her website do not reflect the reality of her practice. Her primary focus appeared to be securing the retainer fee. Initially, she was readily accessible, but once payment ...was received, contacting her became exceedingly challenging. During the divorce mediation, I was allowed by her to sign a vague parenting plan, despite her own admission that it was open to interpretation and susceptible to further motions—indicative of a potential profit motive on her part. Consequently, after spending tens of thousands of dollars with her, I now face nearly $1,000,000 in expenses related to the motions stemming from the ambiguities in the parenting plan she endorsed. I don't recommend this attorney.

I hired Mrs. Jacobs for my divorce after dealing with another attorney for a year and a half with no communication and no progress. In a short time, I have gotten a better understanding of my case and I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel of this unenjoyable journey. Beatrice was very de...tailed and broke down all of my options making it easy for me to be confident in my choices. She is very knowledgeable, will provide you with all of the information, even if it is something you don't want to hear. She is honest, compassionate and fair and I am so happy I found her, because I was loosing hope and read to just give up everything just to get it over with. She gave me back my confidence and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. She is tough and will fight for you every step of the way! If you're looking for someone to be there for YOU and not just the retainer, hire Beatrice! She will make sure you are on the right track and will have your back every step of the way.

Divorces are stressful. The last thing you need is to add more stress by hiring this lawyer. After paying her, she never returned my calls, texts or emails. She waited until the very last possible minute to have me completed forms, where, then, I had to rush. Her mistakes were a misunderstanding on ...my part. She gave me wrong information so no, she is not knowledgeable. I was completely by myself through the entire process. There was no legal support from her. You are better off hiring a paralegal.

Every form she completed had to be done at least twice. She took an enormous amount of time to complete quadro. Had to call or text so many times. Ex wife's lawyer said he had never seen anything like the way she had filled out paper work. It cost my ex $2000 extra because her lawyer had to keep requ...esting things to be redone. In the end, she offered no apology . She actually acted like she had done me a favor. I should try to recoup some of the fees I paid, but I really can't be bothered. This review is the only thing I will say.
