Hire This Man!!

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my ex-wife after SHE put me into the Hospital in Geauga County. Faced with the potential loss of my Home, Job, and Children and facing possible jail time, Mr. Jacobs, first of all assured me that it was NOT the end of the world, he calmed me down an...d explained the Merits of my case, which went along way in easing my mind. "You might beat the rap but you won't beat the ride", holds true to everyone facing Judicial involvement, and being falsely accused, Mr. Jacobs was incredibly available and informative through the whole ordeal. Plus he had a GREAT relationship with the Judge!! (If your lawyer doesn't, get a new lawyer,,,) All around a true professional and more importantly a person who actually made me know that he cared and was on my side when I thought I was facing the world alone. I dealt with multiple Lawyers during my Divorce and Criminal Cases and I wish all the other Lawyers had the work ethic and empathy that Mr. Jacobs possesses. He is good people.... Thanks Joe!!

Joe is the best!

Joe defended me in a cannabis criminal case in Cleveland Ohio. He was extremely knowledgeable and always there when I had questions or concerns. Joe pretty much saved my ass. Hire this man, he will fight for you like no other and won't charge you an arm and a leg.

Knowledgeable and Helpful

Joseph Jacobs took my call within minutes of placing the order on Avvo. He was quick to get all the facts of the case (I was cited for impeding traffic violating ORC 4511.22) and gave me information that would help during my arraignment date and possible trail court date. Gave valuable advice on talk...ing with prosecutions, etc. Great guy! If I lived in Cleveland, I'd definitely ask him for help again, in person or over the phone!

A lawyer that cares!

I wasnt able to hire Joseph Jacobs due to being in different states unfortunately. But in the first case i received a underage and joe helped me considerably through it! The court was trying to hammer me and joseph helped me to only receive what was fair being it was juvenile there was not much he co...uld do as the judge was very strict seeing me in his court room. The 2nd case i was trying to help a friend get away from a drug problem and paraphanolia had been left in my car unkowingly and wrongfully charged with a felony! My lawyer i hired was very poor not handling my case well after the pretrial i was looking at 8-10 months prison! I than called Joseph and asked him for his advice yet again being in another state he couldnt appoint me but he gave me the best advice to get me the help i needed to do my lawyers job for him! I appreciate Joseph Jacobs and he has my highest respects i highly recommend him!!! Thank you Joseph Aaron Hatfield

Criminal defense

Joseph Jacobs was my attorney several years ago for a felony drug possession case. He got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor with no probation! He was very attentive, and he actually cared about me and my case. He allowed me to call him directly on his cell phone making him much easier to get ahol...d of than most attorneys. He was very reasonably priced. He was familiar with the judges and prosecutors in Cuyahoga County. I highly recommend him.
