"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.

Mr. Estes was very honest, professional and understanding. He took his time to understand what was going on and handled everything in a professional way. If your looking for a great attorney, Mr. Estes is wonderful.

Jacob Estes Attorney

Mr Estes was there for me when I really needed someone who was honest and when I was in need of immediate help he was there. I can't say that I've ever met such a professional, personable and honest he was was with me. I recommend him if you want someone who is honest and will help you all the way.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Estes was an excellent consultant. I first came to his office feeling extremely overwhelmed and feeling very defeated. However, during the two and a half hours that I spent with Mr. Estes, he was able to sort through the facts of a confusing case and provide definite answers to the potential lega...l implications of the situation. I left the firm feeling confident that I had a good lawyer to hire if I needed and extremely encouraged by Mr. Estes reassuring words. He even texted me a couple time asking me how I was doing. If you are looking for a solid lawyer, Mr. Jacob Aaron Estes is your guy. He's impressively competent at his job, his pricing is very reasonable compared to other lawyers (charged about $230 for 2 1/2 hours), gives straight answers to questions, and cares about his clients.

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.

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.
