Best lawyer I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with Had a assault and battery case against me Jacob was very professional He let me know everything that was going on Best part of all he got the case dismissed Definitely recommend Jacob

Posted by Nicholas | November 25, 2018 | Criminal Defense

Thank you once again! Excellent Job!

I Highly Recommend Jacob as an attorney!!!, With-in the very limited time Frame Jacob had to work on my case as well as assigned to my case? Jacob waisted no time to research What he would be able to use in state law that would be a strong defense in my behalf. Jacob Communicated very well, l...istened to my side and heard the truth and was to identify the alleged Victim was lying and was seeking a revenge that had been misleading by assumption, and was able to provide solid proof . Jacob paid very close attention to detail, was Clean, respectful, Friendly, and Was on time. Jacob actually cares about his clients constitutional rights not to be violated. Jacob Doesn't sugar coat the Severity of the outcome of the case, But will Fight for his Client Even if The odds are against him. I may have lost at my trial, I was looking at a minimum 2 year jail sentence, Jacob Reduced my jail sentence to 58days. Jacob Only Had Less than a month to work on my case, and I was very impressed with Performance as my attorney. I have no doubt in my mind that had Jacob been assigned to me Sooner in my case and If I had actually gotten a fair trial, ya known with a jury of my peers, and a judge that wasn't bi-est already before trial. the Judge would have ruled in My behalf and the case would have been dismissed

Review

Jacob was a great lawyer. He was very helpful from the beginning to the end of my experience. He explained every step I was going to take and made sure I was aware of what was in front of me. He listed to me and helped me every way he could.

Jacob Starkovich represented me.

Jacob helped me out tremendously. Jacob's communication throughout the whole process was excellent. Jacob's courtroom presence and diliberation skills are phenomenal. If we had lost the trial I still would be writing a positive review because he did such an awesome job. Thank you very much Jacob.

Unreal, amazing, can't express it... just awesome!

I have a problem. I was diagnosed with an illness... I was on probation for two previous cases with 120 days jail suspended... so I unfortunately committed another crime... and Mr. Starkovich was able to show the DA my issues and the problems with my issues and get me a settlement at court that didn...'t include any jail on the new offense and none of the suspended jail imposed... I'm in tears... I'm so thankful today... He was so clear and emotional in his presentation that when the judge asked if I had anything to say I couldn't speak because I was so impressed with how he represented my situation ... most highly recommend... and if you can't afford ( like I couldn't ) he takes payment plans, at least he did with me when I asked... Thank you Jacob.

"I have known Attorney Starkovich professionally for over thirteen years. His professionalism and polished presentation in the courtroom is absolutely outstanding. He is a uniquely persuasive litigator with fellow attorneys, judges, and juries alike. When my loved ones have needed an attorney licensed in Colorado over the last several years (I have moved to Illinois), I have referred them, each and every time, to Jacob and, each and every time, he produces fantastic results. It is my privilege to endorse Jacob."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jacob for several years. He was a prosecutor at the time and I was, and still am, a defense attorney. Even as a prosecutor, he cared about people. Unlike a lot of prosecutors, his focus was not just to get a conviction. He brings that same level of caring and compassion to his clients. I strongly endorse Jacob."
