Fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Marc Jacob! I had a commercial real estate dispute and Marc successfully negotiated with the landlord on my behalf, and achieved a very favorable outcome! Also, he always responded immediately to emails and texts! It was a pleasure dealing with him!

Marc Jacob GREAT Attorney !

Marc Jacob of the Jacob Law Firm, LLC has been my real estate and business attorney for over a year and a half now, and I have had many attorneys over the years. Since becoming involved with my business, he has guided me to avoid potentially disastrous deals, helped review and simultaneously purs...ue multiple potential real estate financing arrangements, and has both confidently and competently negotiated with much larger law firms and bank executives. After a long, arduous negotiations process, he was also able to close a very complicated, time sensitive and contentious deal remotely, while out of the state on vacation! He works effectively with me, my staff and with all the various professionals who were key elements to finally getting a critical deal done. I look forward to continuing to work with Marc Jacob and his associates at the Jacob Law Firm on other future business and personal matters. He has proven himself capable, honest and loyal. I consider him a trusted advisor and a friend.

Highly Recommend Marc

Marc has been a huge asset to my business. From our initial consultation it was clear Marc was the type of attorney I needed - someone who knew the real estate business inside and out, and able to add value in every aspect. From establishing entities to transactional work to litigation, Marc has al...ways been patient, accessible, insight and clear. I feel very fortunate to have found him and recommend him without hesitation.

  • 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.
