An outstanding professional

I hired Mr. Jacob Estes based off of his record and personality. I had contacted a few different lawyers for my case and he was the first one willing to actually talk with me as a person and not a potential client. He was understanding about what I went through, and kept contact with me all the way t...hrough the end. He was able to secure the outcome of the case I preferred, while always communicating facts not promises. If I were to ever need another lawyer, he would be my pick.

Best attorney there is

Jacob Estes is the best attorney there is. He is straight forward and tells you like it is. He is dependable, caring, listens, asks questions, and takes lots of notes. Jacob stays up on the progress of your case and keeps you informed of that progress. He returns your phone calls promptly, He i...s well informed on the law. Jacob was there for us start to finish when we needed help and did not know where to turn. Jacob Estes is just the best you can get.

Amazing

Very pleasant experience with Jacob and Gregory. listened to what I wanted and my expectations, and explained the process very well to me and we received great results.

Professional, Personable, Accommodating

Attorney Jacob Estes was extremely kind, professional and accommodating. When I reached out to his office he was very transparent and straight forward with me about many things from the beginning. And although he usually, very rarely takes on cases for the county in which I reside but he made an ex...ception for me and I am thankful he did. My case went on for a year and he was patient with the process, took on things the other Attorney should have and didn't complain. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

Best lawyer ever!!!! Highly recommended!!!!

(2) F2’s (2)F5’s against me and my fiancé so looking at 18 years. All charges dismissed. Went from 250,000 bond on just me to OR bond… Win! A separation order gone… Win! Finally everything dismissed Win! We won ever hearing we went to! He is very detail orientated, brutally honest, and truly cares ab...out his clients. Just a fantastic guy in general. I’m not saying every case will be as successful as mine but if you want a shot and if you need a hope in your life then call Jacob.

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.
