We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
I started my career working in complex commercial litigation. In my early career, my work primarily focused on assisting large corporate entities litigate significant insurance policies. Although the work was sophisticated, I knew it was missing the human element that I desired. Once I realized this I made a concious decision to transition my practice to focus primarily on domestic litigation.
Today, the bulk of my practice consists of domestic litigation, which includes divorce, custody actions, child support actions, modification and order enforcement. I know that divorce and custody issues are often the most emotionally and financially stressful times in my clients' lives and I take great pride in walking them through the process.
I pride myself on being a pragmatic problem solver and am constantly looking for solutions that are in my clients' best interest. Not all situations require a "scorched earth" approach, but some do. I understand the difference between cases that require a delicate touch and those that need aggressive litigation and tailor strategy to suit my clients' needs.

Very helpful, kind, and smart!
I was guided through the whole divorce process with Jacob. He did everything in a timely manor and did his very best. He always took the lead on what I wanted and he always made sure everything was done how I wanted. Great communication as well. I got a fair child support and alimony because of him. ...

Great Attorney
I hired Jacob to represent me in a family law case my ex-husband initiated. Living in Missouri and having to hire an attorney in Utah was a little stressful, but Jacob made the process go very smoothly. We had an initial consultation over the phone where we discussed the case, my thoughts and feeling...

Amateur and unskilled attorney outside of anything simple
I consulted with Jacob when he was a fairly new attorney outside of family law. He struggled with advanced legal arguments (anything other than the usual "failure to state a claim" reply) and was not really able to form a cohesive structure in his writing. He lacks a logical mind that excellent attor...
This review really hurts as I am very invested in my reputation and take considerable pride in it. I always take accountability for my shortcomings, but don't recall consulting with William and a couple things are not adding up. As a new attorney, I never did consultations with prospective clients as I worked in a firm, and practice group, where that was handled almost exclusively by the partners. Also, I do not typically discuss complex legal analysis during initial consultations (that usually happens in later meetings) and a prospective client would have never seen my written work product. I always attempt to tailor a winning strategy, but it is true that I give honest and candid legal advice. I think it it is a disservice to a prospective client (or client) to inflate their position, because it is simply what they want to hear. Sometimes, a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim really is the best argument to make.

A professional you can trust
I have worked with Jacob on a couple of different cases and he was masterful. His preparation exceeded expectations and his knowledge was key in our favorable outcomes. Jacob will be the first person I turn to with any future legal needs
