Jacob A. M. VanCleaf

Had a disappointing experience with Jacob Van Cleaf that cost me $1400. Communication and diligence left so much to be desired. Very unorganized in every way possible. Without notice he went missing before scheduled meetings. He took my mediation meeting while driving in his car with road noise and u...nable to look at documentation provided by the other side. He missed deadlines along the way that caused excessive delay and a financial penalty I have to pay the court system. Some of the advice I received was extremely inaccurate. I was informed that the mediator of my divorce mediation suggested to the other party that he shouldn't be practicing law based on our session. along with the opposing attorney. They were making fun of my legal representation while I was struggling to get a fair deal. This firm dropped the ball in nearly every way possible. After moving to a new lawyer it has been a night and day difference. Constant communication about what is happening and what I need to be doing. Not disappearing for scheduled meetings. Lots of guidance through the process. The things you should expect of a lawyer.
