Wills and Living Wills 5%

This part of my practice has flowed quite naturally from my work as a marital and family law attorney. Substantial life changes, whether divorce, death, birth, adoption, or moving to a different state, should result in a review of documents.

Reliable and dependable service

I would recommend Eileen Jacobs for your legal matters. We contacted her and made an appointment for consultation when we were served a judgement from our credit union. Within the first few minutes, we knew that we could trust her to take care of our legal matters. She showed us that she is reliable ...and demonstrated a willingness to help. She went out of her way to contact the plantiff's attorney and was able to settle an agreement at no cost to us. We were so pleased with her service, and would recommend her to our family and friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
