Posted by Lenny | January 25, 2025 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Jacques Bezou Jr. is a very skillful, caring and attentive Lawyer who I would recommend in a heartbeat!

Jacques Bezou Jr. was recommended to me by a friend who practices family law as the best in the region in regards to malpractice litigation, and in particular not just reaching settlements, but actually going to trial and getting favorable results on a consistent basis. After interviewing a few other... lawyers, I was impressed with his knowledge and experience and hired Jacques to handle a legal malpractice case stemming from a personal injury case that an attorney friend of mine failed to file. I had substantial injuries which were not properly addressed with my previous attorney over the first year after my accident and within a week or two Jacques put everything in motion to get me seen by the right doctors needed to get me on the path to recovery. Throughout the entire process, which has been one of if not the hardest things I’ve endured in my life, Jacques has been there every step of the way to support in any way he could, always a phone call or an email away. He has not only been responsive and attentive to the specifics of my case, but he has also bent over backwards to help get the best outcome for me and my family as possible, at times despite it going against his own self interest. In doing so I can truthfully say I have not only gained a honest, ethical and caring attorney, but also a true friend through this situation. Over the past two years, I have also recommended him to a few family members and he has handled each one of their cases with the same diligence and attention to detail as he has mine. I can honestly say I trust him with my wellbeing and if there is ever another time in my or my family’s life where we need an attorney, we will undoubtedly be using Jacques again.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Bezou and the staff in his firm made my experience not only a pleasant one but very comfortable and informative as well. He is an excellent attorney and I HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone who wants their case handled correctly. My family and I owe him everything.

GREAT LAWYER!

Before I met with Mr Bezou I was very nervous and was not sure what was going to happen with my case. During our first meeting Mr Bezou made me immediately feel at ease. He looked things over and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. In court he was very professional as he f...ought for what was best for me. I was very happy with the outcome and owe it all to Mr Bezou.

Wouldn't be here to post if it weren't for him

To say empathetic and understanding is an understatement. There's no one else that will give you the attention you deserve, no one else that will devote as much time and effort into doing everything they can for you. It's an easy choice once you know your options. The Bezou Law Firm was the only opti...on that made sense. His staff is super friendly and courteous as well!
