Dog bite

Jacob helped us when our daughter was bit by a dog. He made it so easy and made our daughter feel very comfortable. He got all of our medical bills paid in a timely manner and also got more for her emotional suffering. I would highly recommend him.

Construction issue-new home

We were referred to Jacob from another attorney, first that says a lot about a referral from another attorney. We are very glad to retain him. From the minute we spoke to Jacob we new we found the "right man for the job". Jacob was very Professional, very understanding and most important very pati...ent with us. Jacob's knowledge and understanding of our case and what it meant to us was very important in our outcome, which was a success. Very please with his work, attitude, attention to detail, and making us come first. Highly recommend! Thank you Jacob for all your hard work, it paid off!

Auto accident

From the time Jake began handling my case, he kept me apprised of everything that was happening or was going to happen. He told me what the deposition process looked liked, did a trial run with me and was there the day it took place. Afterwards, he explained the mediation process and what a trial wou...ld look like. He knew my desire to stay out of court, and through mediation he was able to secure a settlement that was satisfactory to me. I'm so glad I put my trust in Jake because law suits are complicated and unnerving and he made the situation far less stressful. His knowledge, confidence, and honesty got us a "WIN" in the legal system. I can never thank him enough, however, I can recommend him as an attorney you want on your side should the need arise.

Disability Insurance Claim

I was referred to Jacob Kempowski by another attorney that was familiar with Jacob's skills. Insurance contracts can be very complicated, so it is essential to have an attorney that is extremely knowledgeable about insurance company operations. I started out trying to deal with the insurance compa...ny on my own. They spoke to me real nice and friendly. Over time, the same people became rude and disrespectful inundating me with forms and phone calls that contributed to huge anxiety and panic attacks. Once I discovered Jacob Kempowski, he assured me that he and his team would handle everything; and they did. Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance. You want an attorney that can put up a fight. Jacob can spar with the best of them.

Client

Jake made, what I initially thought, was going to be a very confusing and tedious experience completely stress free. I felt expertly taken care of during my time of need and dependance after my accident. I would recommend Jake, and his lawfirm, to anyone needing legal assistance.
