The best attorney

Jacob was so thorough with the estate I was planning. He was seriously the the best attorney I’ve ever hired. He knows what he’s doing and will go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable. He will also make sure you know what and when you’re paying. He’s just awesome all around.

Great business and trust lawyer - Prompt and easy to get ahold of!

Mr. Pelley helped me set up my business, and has become a constant referral source for my customers. In my line of work (firearms and outdoor industry) I require an attorney I can trust, and Mr. Pelley has never failed to provide excellent and prompt service. I will continue to use Mr. Pelley for all my business needs, and will continue to refer clients to him in the future.

Mr. Pelley - Respectful, Patient, and Pleasant

Mr. Pelley helped my family through a complicated probate dispute. He made the process as pain-free, smooth, and efficient as possible, while respecting our concerns and feelings. He also won us a favorable outcome - at a fair price - for which we are grateful. Now that I've found a lawyer I trust, I am considering what other estate matters he might be able to help me get in order.

He will be my family attorney from now on

I used Jacob for estate planning for my family, and he went above and beyond my expectations. He explained everything up front, walked us through every step, and was very transparent with all billing. I have referred him to my family and friends, and he will represent us in the future should we need a lawyer.
