Jacob Mailander, Attorney, Tabak Law, LLC

Over 50 years, I applied many times for service connected disability benefits but I was denied and service connected at 0% on other disabilities. With Jim Brzezinski and Jacob Mailander at Tabak Law Firm as my attorneys, persevering, negotiating the process and advocating for me as well as having i...ndependent doctors evaluate my VA Medical Records, I was awarded 100% Scheduled and 100% TDIU Disability with 9 years back pay. I would give Jacob Mailander 100 on a rating system of 1-10. He is also negotiating and advocating for my wife's appeal for the PCAFC. He took her appeal up to the Board of Veterans Appeals and got a Remand Decision which he is pursuing to get a favorable decision. He has true grit and dedication to his work. He is the Babe Ruth of lawyers.

Highly Recommended

We have used Jake for family court proceedings and he has been fantastic to work with. The best attribute for Jake is definitely his character and the way he operates. He is professional and very knowledgeable about the law, but also humble, realistic and easy to talk to. He has always gone out of hi...s way to ensure that we have the most updated information, our questions are answered and has always made sure that he is easily reachable. We have come to consider Jake, not only as our Attorney, but also as our friend. I would highly recommend Jake for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy attorney.

Brilliant Integrity

Jake has been the single most positive experience throughout my entire divorce process(I have dealt with multiple lawyers in my 3 year long divorce). Not only is he professional, knowledgeable and courteous, he is diligent in his research & explanation of proceedings. He truly cares about his clients... & the children involved, and he keeps the well being & best interest of all, in the forefront consistently. There's never any doubt that I'm getting complete transparency, honesty, integrity, care & concern each & every time I reach out for help & legal representation from Jake. He always returns my calls in a prompt & timely fashion, he always has the answers I'm looking for (and if he doesn't, he finds it), and he always makes me feel like my case and my situation is the most important one. Do yourself and your family a favor and hire this outstanding, kind & professional Attorney! You won't be sorry!

Highly recommended

Jacob is highly recommended. Jacob represented me in a child custody case over the course of about a year. Very professional. Jacob took every phone call (many). Jacob returned emails and phone calls in a very timely manner. He made sure i was informed and I was up to date at all times. I felt confi...dent and comforted by his knowledge. Jacob explained the process very well, with patience, respect and compassion for the situation. He’s respectful, honest, and dependable. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Jacob will always be highly recommend.

Client for Life

I have come to Mr. Mailander for several different matters (Including a Personal Injury). I have met with other attorneys, but no one has had the mix of professionalism and friendliness that Jake has. He has ALWAYS been kind and courteous, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He's very responsive, and goes... above and beyond for his clients. He returned EVERY one of my phone calls (and there were several), and never missed a deadline. To say I was satisfied with his representation is an understatement.

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.
