Very professional and knowledgeable

He is an amazing lawyer that honestly listens to you. I went to a few other lawyers and with my case because of the videos the others lawyers saw automatically wanted me to take a ple deal even though I knew that other videos exists and I kept insisting that they did. Not only did Mr Starkovich beli...eve me but he continued to fight to get the other videos that the "alleged" victim was hiding and the ones that the " victim" tampered with. And when the "victim" lied in court Mr Starkovich reminded them that in the restraining order trial the " victim" who was really the aggressor admitted that such video did infact exists. And like magic a 3rd video was turned over that showed that I was telling the truth the entire time. It showed the aggressor attack me like I even told the police on the day it happened. Now I'm not saying that the cops didn't do their jobs. But the aggressor set the videos up for them to watch bit they left out what the aggressor did to me. Ok I got off point. Mr Starkovich treated me like a friend and spoke in the way that anyone who doesn't speak lawyer could understand. I would recommend Mr Starkovich to anyone who finds themselves unjustly charged with a crime. This is a man who truly loves being a lawyer and a lawyer like that is hard to find. He treated me with dignity and respect. He answered any questions or concerns I had. At the end the charges were dropped because he saw exactly what I told him happened. They tried to set me up and he called BS on Them. I can't thank Mr Starkovich enough. He is a man who cares about his clients and what is right and wrong.

Jacob is the best!!

Jacob was extremely professional and helpful from the beginning to end. His 20 years of experience shows. He kept me up to date on my case and provided me advice and answered all my questions. He made what was a stressful situation pain free. He was able to get my charges to a minimum and I could no...t ask for more. I will highly recommend Jacob for any legal matters.

Best Lawyer

He was extremely pleasant and comfortable to work with and to represent me at the court. He was thorough and quick with my case and Mr Starkovich was very patient and always communicative with us. We are happy with our results. He is an honest lawyer and he will fight for you and your case! ...We would absolutely hire him again without a doubt if we ever need him again legally!

WE WON

Jacob made sure he did his research and knew the background of everything on the case. He also made sure he was direct and straight forward in trial and did not hesitate to correct or fight a little more to be heard. He was AMAZING..

Client Review of Jacob Starkovich

I found Jacob to be focused, precise and organized. He identified the time and cost to successfully conclude my case which he did on time and within budget. He was polite, honest, informative, and an excellent communicator throughout the legal process. We are planning on having lunch together upon my... return from Boston area to Denver area even though there is probably 40 years difference in our ages. I would recommend his services to anyone in mind of his expertise.

"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."
