Awesome lawyer

Jacob helped me seal my felony record, what to expect from Jacob as a attorney, someone who is compassionate shows real passion, treats you as a human being not just a number! Shows a real commitment to helping you get the outcome you would like. Just one conversation with this attorney and you will ...feel relieved and the weight of the stress from what your dealing with will be minimized. He will do the work and work relentlessly to cover all aspects of your case. Great lawyer and all around person!!

Jacob is a man of his word. Not here to discuss exact details of my case but the man fought for what he thought was right and in turn was successful, making my journey in the judicial system very stress free. I would recommend him to anyone seeking counsel and know that he will do a great job.

Physical control charge. CDL driver

Jacob was a good choice for me. He was referred to by my boss's attorney. I was charged with physical control while pushing my motorcycle that had been knocked over and wouldn't start. I refused the breathalyzer test and spent a night in jail also had my license suspended. As you know a CDL is a tr...uck drivers livelihood. Jacob was able to get the license charges and CDL reinstatement after I agreed to a drug and alcohol evaluation and also a 72 hour driver intervention program. The prosecutor and judge wouldn't just let the charges drop without charging me with public intoxication- minor misdemeanor $75 fine plus court costs.

"WAY" to much Robinhood

I have never been charged with anything so my nerves got the best of me. Attorney Jacob Estes made me very comfortable and put me at ease. When he noticed me getting upset or confused with what he was explaining, he would make a joke and make me laugh. He was very honest and when I had questions, ...he had answers. He reviewed my case and went out of his way in staying in contact with me. He even got my charges dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone. Very good attorney.

Estate Planning

We hired Mr. Estes to handle our estate planning and are not disappointed. Mr. Estes did a wonderful job explaining terminology, things to consider to avoid having something end up in a lengthy and expensive probate situation and just overall great advice and solutions to have the best possible outco...me in regards to our will and other documents. He was very personable, articulate and warm yet professional confirming we had made an excellent decision.
