Great experience

Jake was there by my side through a very long case,with alot of medical procedures along the way. Jake always checked on my status and was great throughout the whole experience! I would recommend him to anyone I know!

Professional,Experienced,Thorough

Jake used Workers Compensation reports and medical records to secure my employment, maintain my salary, and ensure I received all of my benefits.My health and recovery ,along with current or future disability issues or limitations were his focus from the initial consultation to the conclusion of my c...ase.

Excellent Work Comp Lawyer

Jake was very knowledgeable and dedicated in helping me to recover lost wages and payment of medical bills. His expertise in the Social Security Disability and Medicare set-aside accounts also helped me obtain future medical expenses. I know I wouldn’t have gotten the settlement I did, without Jak...e’s experience in going up against large corporations.

Great work comp. attorney

Jake was hired and he explained to me what to expect. He is very direct. He knows his business and wants to do the work for you with minimal questions. Jake does a great job, you can trust he has your best interest in mind.

Great attorney to work with

Jake was very honest and forthcoming from the very beginning of our interactions. He never failed to offer me his honest opinion throughout the entire process. I had some reservations as this was my first experience with an attorney. He answered all of my questions he could, and if he didn't have the... answer, he looked for it. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks, Jake!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
