Smart and Honest Lawyer

Joe is an extremely smart and competent lawyer who conducts himself with integrity and compassion. In my consultations with him over the past 20 years, he has always considered the likely outcome of potential litigation before engaging the legal process and he strongly advocates for compromise betwee...n parties as a first effort to resolve issues. I highly recommend Joe for complex and simple disputes. I trust his judgment and his honesty.

An honorable and trustworthy lawyer

Joe is always honest, trustworthy and fair. He believes in doing what is right for his client, not what is right for his bank account. He is incredibly knowledgeable and will not be outworked. Joe has assisted me on a couple of matters. One was criminal, the others civil. In all cases he laid out my ...options very clearly. The criminal case meant accepting an SIS. In the beginning, I did not like the idea but he took the time to explain all of the options before me and allowed me to make my own decision without coercion.

top-notch attorney

My experence with Joe Jacobson, spanded just over seven years. During that time, I found him to be Responsive to all my concerns, and contacts. Both He, and Mr Allen Press, worked effortlessly, in a Union DFR case, with a successful Jury Trial result ! The final result, was the largest DFR li...tigation award on record. I find these individuals, to be 100% professional, and knowedgeable, Attorneys', who "care" about getting results for the client. Having witnessed these Attorney's litigate in court, on a number of occasions, and worked with them, up close and personal, They have my highest respect, and would recommend their Legal Services.

A client's experience and perspective

I have worked with Joe for a number of years on a variety of business and real estate transactions. Joe and his associates have been timely in their work, provided me with alternative strategies and their associated risks, and have guided me successfully. Some of my issues have been simple and s...traightforward. Some of my issues have been more complicated, involving both legal issues and business judgments. Joe's advice and counsel have been valuable, effective, and have contributed to my success in business.

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.
