Record sealed

I highly recommend Jacob Estes , I had 3 felonies in Montgomery county that I wanted to have sealed, I hired Me. Estes for the said service, his rates are affordable, and the service he provided was awesome, stayed in touch with me all the way through, he also was willing to travel out of county, Mr.... Estes also was willing to challenge the judge when the judge was planning on denying me, he also was willing to school the judge on the requirements and the law on record sealing, the judge was not very familiar with the law or statute and my attorney was willing to challenge him, by time Jacob was done my 3 felonies where sealed and the judge was educated! Great service, great prices, great results!

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 the best!

Absolutely the best! A man of integrity, very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. Jacob handled a contract dispute that looked hopeless by leading all parties and an opposing lawyer to do the right thing; avoided expensive litigation. We will have Jacob prepare are wills next, this fall. If ...you need a lawyer I give Jacob my highest endorsement!

"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!"
