Get the Job done and Know the Law

I have worked with Jacob on one of the most important Decisions of my life. Jacob is a very Loyal and Good lawyer. Not only did he help me with one of the hardest deals in the world. Jacob not once wavered. Jacob was available to talk or text with me. And he always returns calls. I’m not the easies...t person to work with. I have a strong personality and I think I’m always right. However Jacob made sure I know what was the best decisions to make that was according to the law and always make sure everyone was treated fairly. I highly recommend Jacob as a lawyer and as a person you can call to get the job done. Also to ask questions and work for you. who will make sure that both parties are doing things according to the law.

Real estate closing

I have used Attorney Handelman for several real estate transactions. He is very responsive and stays abreast of issues that may arise. This last closing was a nightmare because of all the stipulations required by the Village and the buyer's threat to walk away. However. Mr. Handelman intervened with ...village officials to ensure my closing would occur timely. He provides exemplary service and is an overall honest and compassionate human being. I will use him again for all of my future real estate deals.

Real Estate Transaction

Jacob was a patient, confident, responsive and extremely knowledgeable partner to my wife and I in our real estate transaction. I was only too happy to have him represent us as a Buyer, and I would retain him again in a heartbeat.
