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.

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

Jacob is a real Star Attorney

Jacob did a great job in handling my DUI case. He went above and beyond to get my case resolved in just one court appearance. I was moving out of state and he got the judge to agree to let me complete all my court requirements out of state . i would definitely recommend Jacob and if I ever have th...e need for an attorney I will call on Jacob to represent me.

Hunting Sportsman

I had an Issue with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Jacob, being a hunter himself, was very knowledgeable about my situation and how to handle the legal proceedings. It is nice to have a lawyer that understands the situation. He and his office are very prompt about returning calls and emails and I... feel offer a very good service. I feel that his rates are very reasonable. I will recommend Jacob's attorney services. Scott

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

"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."
