Professional, Friendly, and Kind

This was my first time in need of a lawyer and I felt so lost in the process. I had called multiple places, none of them showed their confidence matched with kindness like David.

I had trouble finding a lawyer to help me with a family estate issue. David did not think twice about helping me in what was a pretty tricky situation. He is professional, caring and comes with personal experience. He did not do anything that was not in my best interest while keeping my costs to a minimal. I was involved and informed every step of the way.

Good Experience

David was quick to understand my circumstances for estate planning ad explained my options both verbally and in writing. In implementing my decisions he carried through as promised in a timely manner, I value his trustworthiness and his professionalism and will recommend him to family and friends.

One stop shop

I called Dave to help me establish a LLC. He made the process very quick and hassle free. As fast as I could provide him with the information he had the articles generated and ready to be signed. The end product came in a very organized and professional business binder along with a very thorough review of the binder with Dave. The IRS spelt my business name wrong on my EIN form (No fault of Dave's) when I received it and Dave took the extra time to generate an official letter for me to send in to correct the problem. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

David Jacobsen does excellent work!

David Jacobsen assisted me with drafting a non-compete/contractor agreement for my business. He was very thorough and knowledgable making sure to account for every aspect of my business. He answered questions I didn't even know I had! I would recommend David to anyone!

Review of David W. Jacobsen

David is a wonderful lawyer to work with. He is a fantastic listener and really did well in figuring out our needs. In our case we worked with David on a will that includes farm land and he was able to set priorties for what we needed as a family and what my husband needed to discuss with his brother as part of their partnership agreement. David is also very personable and willing to go that extra mile if you need it.

Highly Recommend!

David worked well with us on a real estate transaction that required us to close in a very aggressive time frame. He worked well with our time frame and our closing was flawless. His insight and communication kept us in the loop every step of the way.
