"I endorse this lawyer. Catherine Jacobs has all the skills necessary to provide her clients excellent legal representation in the areas of Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Medicaid. Beyond that, however, is her unique and empathetic style that allows clients to have supreme confidence in her and the results that she obtains for them. You will not find many (any?) attorneys with the same level of attributes."
"Catherine is experienced in the area of "crisis" medicaid planning, which requires quick and thorough action by the attorney, and she has been an invaluable asset whenever I have consulted with her on these types of cases. She is also an extremely thoughtful and compassionate elder law attorney, who I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone in need of that type of work."
"Ms. Jacobs is a member of the Board of Directors of the Elder Law of Michigan organization and regularly holds seminars in the community to inform and educate on topics of elder law and estate planning. She is experienced, hard working and I endorse her."
