Processional and a Winning Advocate"

I had the pleasure of working with Jacob and his Law Firm and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From our initial consultation, I felt heard and understood. Jacob took the time to explain the intricacies of my case in a way that was easy to grasp, ensuring I was informed and comfortable e...very step of the way. What stood out most was their dedication and attention to detail. They meticulously prepared my case, leaving no stone unturned. Their expertise and knowledge of the law were evident in their strategic approach, which ultimately led to a favorable resolution. I always felt like a priority, with prompt responses to my questions and consistent updates on the progress of my case. I highly recommend Jacob to anyone seeking legal representation. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients make them an outstanding advocate. If you're looking for a lawyer who will fight for your best interests, look no further."

Hands down most professional and helpful Lawyer

After spending 7 thousand with another lawyer I don’t know why but this time around God told me to come here hands down Jake is the lawyer you want to ask for not only did he charge me 4 thousand instead of the 7 thousand all the other lawyer around wanted me to pay but he let me give him what I had ...and do the rest in payments. To make it even better I’m a Hispanic male not that that matters but here in waxahachie I didn’t think I’ll get the right help , but man I’m thank God this lawyer treated me with respect and was on top of things from the beginning and kept me in touch ones a week never and I mean never did I have a lawyer actually care . I WENT FROM HAVING TO SERVE TIME IN PRISON FOR MESSING UP PROBATION AND HAVING WARRANTS OUT FOR MY ARREST TO LITERALLY WALKING OUR OF COURT WITH A CLEAN SKATE NOW IM A FREE MAN AND IT FEELS AMAZING THANK YOU JALE GOD BLESS ANS THANK TOU GOD FOR AN AMAZING LAWYER HIGLY RECOMMEND

Professional...understanding...knowledgeable

Life is a journey, it's a roller-coaster full of ups and downs and every once in awhile a sideways slam! I found myself in a sideways slam and needed help, legal help. I've never needed a lawyer before and the path before me was dark and frightening. The light that illuminated my pathway was Jake Hef...fernan. I can't say enough about the care, understanding, and professionalism Mr. Heffernan took with me and my situation. It is good to know that there are wonderful people out there still willing to help the downtrodden, those who are out of luck, out of hope, or lost. To just recommend Jake Heffernan as a lawyer isn't enough, I wish there was a way to emphasize how good he is at was he does. The only thing I can do is tout his abilities and offer this advise, call Jake Heffernan at Heff Law. He will not lead you astray.

A Satisfied Customer

Jacob kept me informed all the way through this ordeal. He was always so pleasant and helpful. He was able to work out a reduced sentence for my son. I was totally satisfied with all that he did!

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.
