Unemployment Law

I reached out to Mr Jacobson in message related to Unemployment insurance. With 10 minutes of my message he got back to me and gave me advice that could save me thousands in filing the correct way. Thank you.

Dont waste your money by hiring this lawyer

11-28-19 Week 13 and no Happy Thanksgiving here! 3 months of wasted time and money! Server still can’t get the job done! 3 months people! You pay someone to get the job done and nothing! I guess this is the type of lawyer you get here! Someone who doesn’t get the job done! 11-21-19 Week 12 and Gu...ess what? Server still hasn’t done his job. Who would have guessed that? Waste of my time and money! 11-11-19 Well a week has past and if you haven’t guessed it! No results! Once again the server has not done his job! Even tho he got paid in August! I don’t see him in any rush to get this taking care of at all! If they hire unprofessional workers like this to get the job done. Me and the next person who hires this lawyer will get no results! I’ve been waiting for 4 months to get this resolved. You can add on another 4 months of rent I missed because of this slow working server. If it took him 2 months to get this paperwork served once. I bet it will take him another 2 more months to get this taking care of. In that time, it will be 6 months before I get results. And that’s if he does his job! 6 months of lost rent! Be careful who you hire to represent you in a eviction case! Learn from my mistake! Hire someone who also hires professionals! 11-7-19 Finally got a court date! But once again am in the hands of the server! Last time it took him 2 months to serve. Let’s see how long it it take him this time 10-29-19 Finally some movement with my case. 5 day letter has been finally served! 10-22-19 Week eight and nothing! Quick to call back to set up a payment! But not to work on your case! 10-15-19 Week seven, still no call or any results what so ever! Such a waste of my money and time! One word, Terrible! 10-10-19. Going on week six. Still no call or update and still nothing has been taking care of as of yet. Very disappointed, feel like I wasted my money hiring this lawyer! I hired Jeffrey like a month ago. Been trying to have my tenant served and evicted. The server they hired has gotten nothing done! I paid them a long time ago and have no results to show for it! 10-2-19. Going on week five. Still no call or update and still nothing has been taking care of as of yet!

"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.

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.
