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.

Awesome Lawyer!

Jake Peters was amazing. He did everything that we wanted him to do plus some. If you have a work comp issue then he is the one you want behind you.

My rating of Jacob J. Peters Atty at Law

I was recommended to Mr.Peters by a co-worker. I had an injury from work. First we had a consultation, from there on I was Mr. Peters client.

Over-the-road driver

Jake took my case from the onset of an injury. I work for one the largest trucking firms in the U.S. this firm is not used to being held accountable.. until they met Jake Peters. Jake was accessable throughout the entire case. From my research Jake was able to get some things resolved in my favor I... didn't think could be ruled in my favor, but it was. Jake never left any stone unturned for me as his client. If anyone I know has the unfortunate situation to be injured on the job or otherwise, I TOTALLY AND 100% RECOMMEND JAKE PETERS.

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.
