Criminal Attorney

Jacob was very helpful in helping obtain the best venue for a defense to an extended family member he was representing. The documents that had to be processed were submitted in a timely manner and he was always very considerate, compassionate, and professional.

Amazing lawyer!!

I was wrongly charged with domestic violence when in fact I was the victim. I was taken to jail and offered a plea bargain of jail time. I was terrified to go to trial, because if I lost, I was facing even more jail time. To the police and prosecutors I was already guilty. I lived several months in a... nightmare and then I hired Jacob Starkovich as my lawyer. I showed up for trial and just felt sick to my stomach as I approached the podium. Within seconds, I heard the words dismissed! This man is a miracle worker and I can not thank him enough for the hard work he put in on my case! I hope that if you are in a rough spot, you choose starlaw because he will return your life to you and get you the best possible outcome! Thank you! :)

Professional and Prompt

Jacob Starkovich represented me this last summer and fall of 2015 against a jilted ex lover who wanted to hurt me in any way he could. Jacob provided excellent advice and support throughout my entire case and was always available when I needed to get a hold of him. Jacob was successful in obtaining a... fI'll dismissal in my case. I appreciate his professionalism and his knowledge of our laws. He is an excellent Lawyer and I recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and professional Lawyer. Diane, Aurora, CO

Outstanding Job!

Mr. Starkovich did more than represent me, he helped get my family back together. Although he was hired specifically for a dui case it was headed for a custody dispute quickly, He stuck his neck out and fought hard against a D.A. who was determined to impose excessive punishment agianst me. He wa...s aslo determined to fight for my rights as a Father and will forever be thankful for his EXPERTISE and is highly recommended by me, and all my family. Tha

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.

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."
