Without hesitation I give my highest recommendation to Bruce Jacobs, my attorney since December 2014. I had researched and spoken with many other attorneys in my search for help in my foreclosure case. Then I heard Bruce Jacobs speak on his weekly radio show “Debt Warriors” every Wednesday at 5pm...

I have been trying to keep my home for nearly four years. I have paid thousands for legal "expertise" NEEDING representation like a trauma victim needs a surgeon. I am not an attorney. But I do know how to read . Two weeks ago, I happened to review my court docket. My case had been set for TRIAL. ...

I was very disappointed with the office administration which made mistakes on my case and was not aware those mistakes were made. There was a bad outcome. I recommend using another attorney and team.
I really appreciate your comments and any constructive feedback about my firm. Unfortunately, its hard to address your concerns since your review is submitted anonymously. If you are an actual client, I'd very much like to address your concerns. My office does work very hard to help our clients get excellent results. We've just won our 9th and 10th foreclosure defense trials. We very much care that clients are protected. There are too many foreclosure defense lawyers that don't try their cases and leave homeowners worse then when they started. We pride ourselves on not being one of them. My staff is hard working, diligent and fighting for all our clients. Please call me to discuss your case. If anything, I can use the information to make sure other clients get the best service we can offer.

Bruce is the quintessential, brilliant attorney. He is extraordinarily bright and caring. I have never met (in my 71+ years) such a sapient and capable fella. He never backs down; he never stops thinking; he's got my finest and highest recommendation.
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a big Bruce Jacobs fan. I've known Bruce since he was a young prosecutor. He was always aggressive, competent and creative but, at the same time, reasonable and compassionate. As a civil litigator defending people who are being foreclosed upon, he has displayed the same qualities. I am fully confident in his legal abilities, have referred both family and friends to his office, and trust him implicitly."
"I endorse this lawyer. I think Bruce is one of leading attorneys in South Florida on foreclosure defense."
"Bruce is very knowledgeable in the law and always prepared when he is in court. He represents his clients zealously."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bruce is an extremely knowledgeable and hardworking attorney. He has tremendous experience handling foreclosure matters on behalf of homeowners. Bruce fights for those who cannot fight for themselves."
"Bruce is an excellent attorney for any commercial, business, or foreclosure matter. He will go to any length on behalf of his clients and his reputation is excellent in the courthouse and amongst his peers. I endorse this lawyer."
"While initially I came to Bruce as a client (Bruce having helped me with my own foreclosure) I quickly became so appreciative of the work that he was doing not only for me, but for many other desperate people in similar situations, that I signed on to work with him as well. That was well over a year ago and I have enjoyed every day of the battle we fight with the banks to help people obtain meaningful resolutions to their mortgage situations that benefit not only the homeowner, but the banks as well (whether they like it or not). Thanks Bruce for all your help and the incredible wealth of knowledge that you have imparted on what is a confusing and quickly changing area of law."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Jacobs is a hard working aggressive trial attorney with a proven record of success at the trial and appellate levels."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Jacobs was always thorough and well prepared, and produced excellent results for our mutual clients. I can confidently refer clients knowing they will receive excellent representation."
