Highly recommend!

I was very happy with the process and quick results I received once hiring Taly Thiessen to help me through my divorce. I had previously tried to go through it by myself, and then with a non-profit firm, but because of covid no one would answer phones and the courts were extremely slow. I had no info...rmation before, but Taly made it super easy for me. I never even had to step foot in a court. I am so relieved and can move on with my life! My daughter is safe with me and I am thankful for that.

She did what other lawyers wouldn't even attempt

I am so greatful I found Mrs. Thiessen. She was able to get me sole custody of my two kids and their last names changed to mine. All the other lawyers I had consulted with in the past said that a judge most likely wouldn't grant a name change and didn't want to even try. Mrs. Thiessen had her doubts ...but she was not scared to try. She actually listens to what you want and goes after it! Also, Cindy at the front desk is so nice and accommodating. She always made my visits so pleasant.

Taly is great!!!!

I hired Mrs Thiessen for my divorce and a year later for custody case. I want to say that from the moment I walked in she made me feel comfortable and explained things to me in simple terms. I won custody of my kids thanks to Taly and Crystal..and the whole Thiessen team..Thanks again

Bar far the best

Taly is honest, sincere and brilliant at what she does. She has a very strong court room presence and is always on time. When it comes to legal matters regarding your children, I would only trust her to give me the best advise. I referred her to one of my friends and he was also very happy with the... outcome of his case. The mediator she recommended was great. We were able to mediate our case without having to go to court. Taly is someone who honors her word. The price she quoted me is the price she charged me. Her office will send you a detailed list of all the charges. Her staff is great especially the young lady who sits in the main entrance. I hope I never go through what I did again but in the event I do, I would hire her in a heartbeat.

Brilliant Attorney!

Hiring Taly Jacobs was by far the smartest legal decision I made over the last 6 years. Prior to Taly, I endured a long divorce followed by an even longer custody dispute. Taly stepped in and within days, genuinely restored my faith in family law attorneys. She is a no- nonsense, fast, smart, and ...extremely responsive attorney. Living out of state created some issues that could only have been overcome by her understanding and knowledge of the law. In addition, Taly went above and beyond to educate me, inform me, and represent me to the fullest in a time frame that seemed impossible. She exceeded my expectations and for that I, as well as my children, are forever grateful. Taly is extremely bright, and a true gift to the legal profession as well as her clients. While I hope that I do not need her services again, I enthusiastically recommend Taly Jacobs, without reservation.

She goes to the mat and does not back down from anyone when it comes to getting what is absolutely best for her clients."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Yes, she is my wife. But we also try a lot of high profile cases together. And I get to see behind the curtain at her work. She is ALWAYS over prepared. She works so hard for her clients and is constantly on the phone helping them. She is way more patient than me. I also think that the DAs office and other lawyers like her alot more than me because she is calmer and more rational than I. we are a great team together, but secretly: she is the boss. I listen to and respect her analysis. So should yall. Any client would be lucky to have Taly fighting for her. I lose almost every argument against her."
