Mr. Jacobson review

Mr. Jacobson has been my attorney for the closing of my new home in 2011. He has also represented me for child support issues. If I need any legal advice, he has been very knowledgeable in all areas and as a parent, Im impressed with Mr. Jacobsons empathy, compassion and patience when handling issues... that affect my children.

"Whenever I come across one of Mr. Jacobson's answers on Avvo, I make sure to read it. His practical approach always makes sense. He often suggests ways for the asker to save money, and I have yet to see him try to solicit business on Avvo. It is a pleasure to see his obvious interest in meeting the needs of others, and doing it well."

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.
