A true professional

I hired Atty Jacoway to represent me in litigation with the City of Chattanooga TN. His skill, success, & persona were most impressive. I look forward to remaining a client with him/his firm. ----Rebecca Rolston Raymond

Steven Jacoway

I had an outstanding experience with Steve Jacoway and staff. He returned my calls and emails personally, often well into the evening. I found his knowledge of family law very complete, often directing me away from potential pitfalls that could have been more costly and taken more time. His staff ...was equally responsive and supportive. I would enlist his services again in a minute!

Great Chattanooga Lawyer

Mr. Jacoway stood by my side throughout my entire court case. I had no idea what court was like and how it was going to be and he guided me through the process whether it be what to say or how to act. After consulting with him before my case he made me feel less nervous and I felt that I actually had... somebody on my side. Mr. Jacoway is professional, kind, and genuine and I could highly recommend him to anyone!

Best of the Best!

While financial circumstances prevented me from being able to retain Mr. Jacoway to represent me in Juvenile Court, he assisted me, as best he could, out of the goodness of his heart. As such, I felt compelled to leave this review. It is the least I could do. Steve Jacoway is one of the brightes...t family law attorneys in Chattanooga. His knowledge of the law and professional relationships within the community is truly unsurpassed. In fact, he was recently selected to serve as President of the Chattanooga Bar Association. His integrity and work ethic are beyond reproach. Simply put, Steve Jacoway is the Best of the Best!

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.
