Posted by Cassandra | December 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional, honest lawyer

We found Jacob through a referral from a different attorney. The attorney said "if I ever needed someone to represent me, this is who I would hire" which was good enough for me! We hired Jacob in February of 2019 and due to an ex husband who was reluctant to compromise, magistrates quitting on short... notice the day before one of our hearings, a judge also stepping down, covid and the maternity leave of the new magistrate (congratulations to her btw) we just finally wrapped it up in November 2020! Throughout the entire process Jacob was so understanding and helpful. He always gave us his honest opinion of the circumstances we were about to face and he did not give false hope. We had a lot of long waiting periods without any news from the court and no movement with the case (due to circumstances beyond Jacobs control) but he would always reach out to let us know what was going on and to touch base on any concerns we have. Our case was one where 'if it could go wrong, it would' and in the end everything went just right. In the future if I ever need a lawyers services (which I really hope I will not) Jacob is the first phone call I would make without hesitation.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I will certainly endorse Jacob Estes. I've worked on cases with Jacob and I've worked as opposing counsel against Jacob. No matter what the situation, Jacob is always professional and respectful. It's a pleasure to work with Jacob because he is the kind of attorney who tries to get people to agree instead of build tension between them. Keep up the good work!"
