When I need legal help I don’t want to feel like needing a lawyer to talk to my own lawyer. One lawyer I can recommend.
Susan had my best interest in mind even when I didn't always asked the right question; different to experiences I had with other lawyers. She seems to have a passion to get to the bottom of the subject (case) and was able to describe the steps she is taking to achieve the desired results. She also ex...
Thank you, Petra! You are very kind.

Money pit
Susan was recommended to me by another lawyer. After dragging a fairly simple case on for a year the judge finally said enough is enough. Appointed more people to get involved in my case. In the end she told me give my ex whatever she wants so that this could be over. So after wasting thousands upon ...
I am very sorry, but I cannot place you as a client. I do not believe that I actually represented you. I am confused when you say that "the judge finally said enough is enough. Appointed more people to get involved." In a dissolution action, the only other parties to be appointed are guardian ad litems (except in special cases where third parties can be impleaded, such as when there are allegations that the husband is not the father of a child of the marriage, if there is a business entity that is marital property, etc.). A court will appoint a guardian ad litem (a "GAL") either on its own motion or the motion of a party. GALs are automatically appointed when there are allegations of abuse and/or neglect (this is required by law). GALs can also be appointed in highly contested custody matter. Further, I also do not know what you mean when you state that "in the state of Missouri if there is a dispute about what is clearly written in the divorce papers" that you would need to "do it all over again." There actually cannot be an dispute over what is "clearly written" in a divorce decree. If the language is clear, that is the language that would govern. If a party does not like the language, then they would need to move to modify the language. However, the only portions of a dissolution decree that can be modified are provisions regarding child custody, child support, and maintenance (so long as the maintenance specifically states that it is modifiable). I am sorry if you feel that you had a poor experience, but I do not believe that I was part of this case.

Amazing.... Professional, and Knowledgable!
Amazing is the only word to accurately describe Susan and her vast knowledge. Susan helped me through a divorce in 2009 and again with a modification in 2016 with satisfactory and fair results. She is a great communicator and is HONEST in her communications. Susan was my strength when I couldn't b...

I will never call anyone else
I was referred to Susan by another attorney I highly trust. After working with her I have never been so satisfied. Susan went the extra mile over and over for me in my custody case. She was always honest and caring. Susan truly cared for me during my case. She worked non stop to make sure I was happy...

Susan Jacobsen is an excellent attorney.
My husband has Alzheimer's and can no longer take care of his affairs. Susan helped me petition the Court to be appointed as guardian and conservator for my husband. It has been a very stressful time and Susan helped me get through the entire process. She helped me with the paperwork and even pers...
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Susan for some time, and have been the opposing attorney on a case with her. She's easy to work with, but is also an excellent advocate who always keeps her client's best interests in mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone."
"I endorse this lawyer. Susan is very knowledgeable in family law and several other practice areas. She works well and diligently with her clients to achieve a favorable outcome."
