Jane Howard Jacobs

Ms. Jacobs served as my legal representation in family court proceedings involving my daughter being taken from her custodial parent by the state. She was honest and realistic in her evaluation and consistently provided practical and concise advice. I should also point out that she was the ONLY perso...n involved in the situation who I never had difficulty keeping in contact with. Getting the attention of the state's overloaded case manager was often impossible, but Ms. Jacobs never failed to respond in a timely manner. Although I had to reduce my expectations for gaining custody simply as a result of Arizona's legislative disregard for what I would interpret as "common sense" (specifically, returning a child to a parent who has a history of multiple dependencies stemming from their illegal drug usage), Ms. Jacobs empowered me to go as far as the system is designed to allow. I'm left in a highly advantageous position if the other parent ever steps out of line again. She is reliable, pragmatic and an effective communicator.

I got Jane to help me get full custody of my kids when their dad was being abusive. She acted really fast and got an order to keep them away from him. She was really prepared and was awesome in court. She got a court hearing made real fast and when we went to court she was so amazing. She saved my k...ids.

Jane is phenomenal to say the least. After our first meeting I was more than convinced that she would help me get my daughter back in my life. Jane and her staff are attentive and waste no time when it comes to taking action or replying if a response is needed. Her attention to detail and quick rebut...tal proved flawless in a successful attempt to get me back in my child’s life through trial. Rather than a client, I am treated more like a friend whom she desperately wants to help. Jane is a well seasoned expert attorney who’s presence is demanding in the courtroom. She is a true professional. I would recommend Jane to all of my family and friends in the event that her services are needed.
