Straightforward and effective

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.

Divorce with kids and assets

Jane did a fantastic job representing me in a nasty divorce. She really fought for me to get the stuff that was fair. She was always ready for hearings and we had lengthy trial. She was very strong in court and was really good at cross examining the witnesses. She also argued really well for what... I wanted. She always responded to my calls or emails right away, even on weekends. At the end of my case, she actually was able to return a portion of my retainer. She was so fair and reasonable. I would recommend her as an attorney,

Custody Battle

The worse lawyer so sad but, she basically was not organized call me the same day for Court, the worse experience on my life with a lawyer. She also send me conversations with the other lawyer was not even profesional. I can lose my kids for her negligence as a lawyer. She also miss Court and because... of that I need to pay attorneys fees she is a nightmare as a lawyer. I believe that she need to get remove from the Bar Association.
