I spoke with many attorneys and had one prior to hiring Jake, and it dragged out for over a year. My ex used Becky Beaver, and many attorneys wouldn't touch my case because of it. She dragged everything, used every single scare tactic and played real dirty just pinning my ex and I against each othe...r in such a nasty way. I lost faith in the justice system and couldn't believe he was able to get away with what he did. He left with all our money and maintained that powerful edge against me. I needed someone who wasn't afraid to fight for me and my children. That person was, and is, Jake Gilbreath. He made me believe in justice and fairness again. He knew every tactic and angle of the opposing attorneys, and it never caused him to bat an eye. He stayed ahead of the game and encouraged me not to give up. Though my ex and his attorney performed some shamefully dishonest, inexcusable and unforgivable maneuvers in the first round that traumatized me, Jake still encouraged me to do what it takes to restore a positive relationship with my children's father because that is what is best for them. His focus is doing whats best for the children and he doesn't care what it takes or who he's up against. If you need someone who is going to fight for your kids, your rights and encourage you no matter what- Jake is the attorney you need. No matter how ugly and dirty the other side played, he never once entertained the thought of playing those games. He maintained his (and my) integrity the whole way through. Something I really needed. I encourage you, whether you are a man/woman, father or mother... if you need someone who is good, quick, ahead of the game, fair and who works HARD, don't waste anymore time and just call this guy.

I had an awful contested divorce in the beginning of the year. I met with 3 other attorneys before deciding to hire Jake. As soon as i met Jake, I was impressed. He was confident and knowledgeable on the law, and was an excellent advocate in the courtroom. Jake took depositions of my ex husband, an...d even stayed by my side when I had a breakdown at mediation. We ended up in trial, and compassionate Jake quickly turned into a bulldog advocate. He was well prepared, quick on his feet, and made me feel confident to have Jake on my side. We were incredibly successful in court, and I owe it all to Jake. He saved my family.

Jake has been my attorney on my divorce case for more time than I like to remember. A complicated case; Jake always listened to what I wanted even if it seemed contrary to what someone might expect. I trusted ( and trust) Jakes counsel and he in turn, listened closely to my wishes and counseled and... directed me accordingly. In court I was very impressed with his presentation of the case and credit it with an excellent ruling.

I can hardly describe the humanity, strength, compassion, strategy and raw intellect that Jake brought to my extremely difficult child custody case. I am an attorney and thoroughly researched before I engaged Jake. My situation demanded a carful and sophisticated approach. Helping my son and me obtai...n immediate relief, while always staying many moves ahead, and with an eye laser-focused on the end result, Jake spent years championing for my son, ensuring he had access to to me, his father. Simply said, I retained Jake when my ex-wife irrationally and almost completely restricted my access to my four-month-old son. Jake is a stallion in the courtroom, which proved indispensable in my situation because my son's mother remained steadfast in her unwillingness to compromise. Jake's bold and fearless approach saved the relationship between me and my son. Jake also understood the complexities of psychological issues as it related to my ex-wife's behavior. Jake's deep network of professionals provided additional exceptional support in the area of parenting facilitation and psychological evaluations. These professionals had a clear respect for Jake, which was critical in ensuring their contributions remained focused on the overall well-being of my son. Lastly, Jake brought integrity to every step of the process. My experience is that a child custody dispute is fraught with impossible situations, especially for an involved father. Because of Jake, I walked through this process with real options, many of which are not readily available through just any attorney. Today, my son and I have a great relationship and nobody deserves more credit for that success than Jake.
