About Jacob
Biography
I devote 100% of my practice to civil litigation. Dilligence and attention to detail are what set my work product apart from others. Over the course of the past six years, I have successfully resolved hundreds of personal injury cases. While most of those cases settle short of a trial or even a lawsuit, I have successfully litigated cases through trial - not every attorney can say that.
While attending Marquette University Law School and after graduation, I worked for Wisconsin's largest volume personal injury firm. After leaving that firm, I worked for a boutique personal injury firm in Milwaukee for three years, collecting millions of dollars for my clients.
I am a life long resident of Wisconsin and am an avid Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Marquette Golden Eagles fan.

Jake was great!
Jake was kind and professional. When he heard how we were being treated by the liable insurance company, he immediately offered to help. He followed through and demanded we be treated fairly. It wasn't an easy task, but Jake never gave up. He was a bulldog!

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...

Knowledgable and trustworthy
Atty Kempowsi is honest and knowledgable. He was very upfront when I first contacted him: he thought I was mostly going to be at fault for my auto accident. However, he truly listened to me and my recollection of the events. He trusted me when I said I did not believe I was 100% at fault, even th...
