Jacob and Michelle were great to work with

I worked with Jacob and Michelle to get my firearms rights restored after I lost them from when I was a kid. They were both great to deal with. Talked me through everything and took care of all the paperwork. He helped me to be able to go hunting with my dad again and I will forever be greatful.

First choice attorney

Jacob is an excellent attorney. He was friendly and professional. He represented me fairly in my legal matters and always made sure I understood what was happening and what to expect next. His firm's staff are kind and very helpful. I very much appreciate all that he did to help my case. I fully reco...mmend him to anybody looking for a gifted and intelligent lawyer.

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.
