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.

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.

Amazing man. Amazing attorney.

I know attorneys. Been there, Done that. Jacob is an amazing man and just as impressive of an attorney. I wish I knew him years ago but no one can change the past. He's a fighter and he is also respectable. No worries he's gonna be too "Hollywood" for your case. And no worries he's a local pushover ...making deals on the side apart from your case. Jacob has integrity. He is a family man. He understands sometimes people in the right don't get treated right. He's seen and understood that life isn't all rainbows and unicorns. And he's fair. You won't catch him padding his bills.i don't know his upbringing. But he seems to come from a working class background. Sure, getting that attorney bill is always discouraging, but knowing you are being truly and fairly represented is comforting. I'd give him more than 5 stars if I could. And to be completely honest, my case wasn't decided exactly how I wished it would have been...still I'm more than satisfied with Jacob's performance.

Attorney

Jacob Estes is a wonderful attorney. When I contacted him he didn’t hesitate to take the case. Within hours he had made multiple essential contacts and was ready to be at the hearing that afternoon. I can’t say enough good things about his knowledge, skills, and professionalism.

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.
