Thank you Jacob Rigney

Mr. Rigney is very easy to work with. Not only is he responsive, he is also reasonable to work with on price. My wallet and my record have minimal damage. I would recommend him to anyone having trouble in a criminal or civil issue.

Amazing Attorney

If you need a defense attorney, contact Jacob Rigney. I found myself in need of an attorney for a case going back 14 years. I contact Mr. Rigney through his website and explained my issue. We talked several times before scheduling a meeting at his office. Mr. Rigney's fees are very reasonable an...d if you can't pay for all at once he will work out payments with you. Mr Rigney always shows up for your court date early and will discuss the case with you and what is going to happen. Mr. Rigney is down to earth and easy to talk to and I felt really comfortable with him. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a defense attorney. I had a great outcome to my case and it's because Mr. Rigney goes to bat for his clients. I would like to personally thank Mr Rigney for everything he has done for me and my family. I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart.

Dedicated and Personable

I talked to Jacob following an incident where a few people falsely accused me of a felony level charge. I called at 4am due to being pretty nervous and was surprised that he picked up. we setup an appointment for 1pm that day. Jacob knew the detective assigned to the case and was extremely helpful i...n representing me during the investigative process and was able to provide facts to the detective that ended with no charges being filed against any party. I am extremely happy with how he handled my case and kept me up to date on everything. I can definitely recommend his services to anyone else who finds themselves in legal trouble.

Jacob did some estate planning work for me and I was completely satisfied. Also, as a financial planner, I have referred clients to him for their estate planning needs. I know that he will do a thorough job and consider their personal goals. It is a good feeling.
