Jacob A Kubert

I highly recommend Jake Kubert at Dessaules Law Group for any real estate legal matters. He provided expert guidance on my short-term rental home and skillfully handled an earnest money dispute. Jake was always available, answering my calls promptly and keeping me informed throughout the process. His... expertise and professionalism were invaluable, and he successfully guided us through the mediation process with confidence and precision. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and responsive real estate attorney, Jake is the best!

Jacob Kubert, try Google and you will get a glimpse of the BEST homeowners’ attorney in Phoenix. Next to his picture is an image of Superman, and that is who Jake is to us, a SUPERHERO. After being harassed for 2 years by a neighbor and our HOA, we fortunately found Jake. For previous two years ...we fended off frivolous complaints that repeatedly required going before the board, yet none of the alleged violations lead to a single fine since it turned out, there were NO rule violations. New rules adopted, enforced without proper notice with immediate fines regardless of best and good faith efforts to meet the rules with nothing settled. Even after being inspected, no violation was ever identified. Jake made clear the options: submit to the ‘new’ rules and pay the fines, take over the board and change the rules, or sue the association in superior court. When it became obvious that even submitting to the new rules and paying the fines would just bring about something else (like trying to evict our dog!) and taking over the board was impossible, we were left with only one option. We sued. Three weeks after Jake came on the case plus one year to the day that we filed our lawsuit, Jake helped us settle the case on extremely favorable terms through mediation. Jake’s description and plan of action during our first couple of weeks of discussions is exactly what came to pass. There were never any surprises. He told us what we could expect. He laid out our options. And he would not withhold bad news. He told us the truth – good or bad – so we could make an informed decision. Without Jacob Kubert, we would still be fighting with the board. He got the HOA off our back and recovered everything we paid out to lawyers to defend ourselves. We couldn’t have done any of this without him and are thankful we found him.

Mr. Kubert is an incredible attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and proficient. He is punctual and patient. There are other attorneys who are also masters in their craft. However what Mr. Kubert brought in addition to exceptional expertise was that he really was truly an advocate for my best in...terest. He was very clear to lay out all of my options and was very transparent about estimated costs and the foreseeable risks/rewards that each choice brought and then he backed my decisions 100%. He could have easily talked me into spending more money than I needed by pushing me towards different legal strategies but he never did. If my closest friends or family ever needed an attorney I would do anything I could to encourage them to hire Jacob. I know he would take the upmost care in doing whatever he could to help advocate for them.

I felt helpless against an HOA that was overstepping again. If I could animate what Jake did for me, it would look something like the Hulk, grabbing the opposing attorney by the ankles and SLAMMING HIM to the right and to the left of the court room floor. Then he used him to mop up the floor. He very... humbly made a mockery of the opposing side, with all due respect. My favorite line in one of his last briefs was his starting out the sentence with: "In a comical twist of fate..." OMG I laughed out loud! I can now say that "I fought the HOA and I won!" because of Jake. I will not hesitate to seek his counsel again in the future should something else happen!

Jake took on our fight with the HOA over annual assessment fees. He is friendly, easy to work with, competent and very knowledgeable. He got our issues resolved in our favor quickly without having to go to court, and even got the HOA to pay our attorney fees. Would absolutely recommend Jake to anyone... in a conflict with their HOA.
