David Jacks was born and raised in Las Vegas and is a veteran of the United States Army. After the completion of his service in the military, David became a construction superintendent in Las Vegas during a major period of growth for the city. Following this, David went to college at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and became a law clerk for a local law firm. Once David earned his undergraduate degree in political science with a focus in public law, he entered law school with the aspiration to one day have his own legal practice. During his studies, David gained knowledge of a wide array of legal topics, but he primarily focused on family law as this was going to be the backbone in which he wanted to build a law firm.

Following law school in 2010, David passed the Nevada Bar Exam in 2011 and accomplished his goal of opening up his own law practice and focusing in family law. In family law, David represents clients when they are getting divorced, have child custody issues, if the client needs to relocate with children or prevent a relocation if a former partner is trying to relocate with children.

Throughout the time he has spent in practice, David has represented thousands of clients all across Clark County. In addition to this, David's appetite for knowledge and constant desire to improve has led him to participate in the Family Law Conference in 2006, 2012-2019 and attend many Advanced Family Law continuing legal education courses. To the best of David's knowledge, David is also the only attorney in existence who is a graduate of The Trial Lawyer's College and also a graduate of the National Family Law Trial Institute.

In 2019, David returned to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to obtain a decree in accounting. Once completed, David will obtain his Masters of Law in Taxation and add tax law to his practice.

David has been the recipient of more than twenty awards in the legal field. While David humbly accepted these awards, David focuses on the present by studying constantly to become a better attorney for his clients.

As an attorney, David embodies dedication, both to his clients and to the practice of law. He is committed to providing excellent legal representation and guidance to his clients as they navigate the complex legal system.

On Your Side 100% From Start to Finish
I called Mr. Jacks in April as I needed correspondence for my divorce. If you want to go to only 1 attorney and not have to change in the middle of the process, go to Mr. David Jacks. Mr. Jacks is the type of attorney you can count on for life! I'm serious, like needing any other professional like your physician, dentist, accountant, mentor, go to David Jacks because Mr. Jacks is the type of attorney you'll want to come back to if you have any future legal issues in your life. Mr. Jacks will be your ace.

Excellent Attorney
I consulted with David on a child custody matter. Excellent advise on how to proceed! I appreciate his honesty, and his great knowledge that he gave me! I will use him as my Attorney in the future!

AMAZING!
Mr. Jack, Did both my cases at once for child custody and grandparent rights. We randomly got a referral for him from another law office that was full on clients, and We are so glad we did. He was there since the first day to the last and more. Anytime I needed to call him, he was there and answered. This was my first time with anything court related like this, and he made me feel much calmer. I’d worry, and ask him a million things and he’d answer all million and told me how it is, how it works and so forth. He got us exactly what we wanted from grandparent rights to the custody case (actually more then we expected, cause 1 phone call a week was much better then the 2 they normally get). The thing we loved was he was always honest and straight forward, he will tell you a apple is a apple, not make you think a apples a orange weather you like it or not and he is right, and keeps you in reality, and that’s what you need when your using you hard earned money, you want it to go to something you know will be worth it verse a lawyer who will just Milk you for your money. We absolutely appreciate and loved having Mr. jack & if we need him again we will be back without a doubt. Thank you for all you did & always treating us like people & understanding. If your looking for family, or personal injury, he will get you the results. If you have questions he will do a consult and of any places I called I can tell you his was by far the best, he actually will look at your case and see & tell you which is also something that sold us of all 23 places he was the ONLY one to take a look and give a honest advice, like really out of his time and day not even knowing if we’d retain him, that there shows how much he cares for people and the big hearty he has! If you have any questions, call him! It’s all worth it, trust me. THANK YOU AGAIN.

David Jacks is one of the BEST out there!
He will advocate for you, listen to you without judgement, and help you explore all creative ways to get what you want. He thinks outside the box and is beyond patient. Especially when dealing with sensitive family matters, patience is key, and David could not handle tough situations with more patience, grace, kindness, and compassion. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him if you need any help with family matters, his stellar yelp reviews are all there for a reason! His office is very clean and no frills/no nonsense. Jamie is also super on top of everything. From the initial consultation all the way to getting me exactly what I needed, David was on my side 1000% and you can be sure you are in the best hands if you choose to have him advocate for you.

Hire this team!!!
This is a second review because I hired The Jacks a second time for another challenging trial with my Ex. I am still in awe of the staff. They had me work closely with his office team, Leah and Jamie, to keep my costs down. They are amazing. They know my case like the back of their hand. Communication is always easy and always very honest. This team is very caring and straight forward. I was never surprised because they always set realistic expectations for me. When it came time to go to court, we were looking at at minimum another year. Mr. Jacks sat down with my ex and I, and very patiently found a settlement that we could both agree on. He and I have not agreed on anything in about 10 years yet with his help we found something we are both satisfied with. I am still shocked this could happen at all. Mr. Jacks is my go to attorney! He has, in my opinion, absolutely amazing and has the best team working for him. They all do what is right for the client, even if it is not lining their pockets. Mr. Jacks could have easily agreed to go to another court/trial and increase his fees. He didn't. I would recommend this legal team again and again. If you have a hard situation and need someone who will tackle an issue, call them!

BEST. LAWYER. EVER!!!
I hired Mr. Jacks to represent me for my case and he did an AMAZING job for me!!! I could not be happier with my service as he was diligently working for me the entire time. It was very comforting, knowing that he was only a phone call away and he either answered the phone himself or got back to me as soon as he was available. He was able to negotiate my case and it was resolved without having to go to trial. I definitely recommend his services to anyone that needs a good lawyer! I think he is the best and worth every penny!!!

BEST ATTY. In Vegas
I went through a nasty custody case with my ex.. I couldn’t afford an attorney at first so I remained in the “outskirts” of the testimony aspect of the trial which had been over 5 months long. I finally found Mr. Jacks, he informed me that it would be difficult as he was hired at the last inning of the playoffs but he would do his best for me. I put my trust into him to keep my son with me because his mother walked out a year before and never really tried to contact me or my son. Mr. Jacks has to make his living too don’t get me wrong but he was able to set up a payment plan I could mostly afford and he did an AMAZING job. He won me primary custody of my son. Out of ALL the lawyers in Vegas I chose him because not only of his awards that I found he had been awarded ( many by the way) but also because when all hope was lost and the case seemed like I would not gain primary physical custody of my son I told him I want to go for it. As a man and a Hired attorney this man is a great individual and will help anyone who asks him ( once again he has to make his living too but variables are not a stranger to him). This man saved my life because if I would have lost my son to his abusive mother I would have gone down the wrong path.. This man Mr. Dave Jacks is THE best attorney in Las Vegas NV

Divorce
David was very helpful with my divorce, he covered every step of the process, he clearly explained what needed to take place in order to have as painless a court ruling in my favor as possible. At court David initiated negotiations with my ex and we were able to settle the conditions before we stepped inside the courtroom. I feel that I had the best representation possible. I am going to have David in my corner for anything that may come up in the future. I would recommend the Jacks Law Firm to anyone that needs legal help.

Extremely Knowledgeable
Mr Jacks has been my attorney for many years now, handling many different types of cases. Each time, he sits down and gets every bit of information needed and handles all the necessary paperwork. While representing me in front oc the judge he exudes confidence and displays his knowledge for my case unlike others I have used who stammer because they don't remember what's going on with my case. Highly personable and gets the job done.

AMAZING
Mr. David Jacks was able to get Joint Custody of my son for me and walked me through every single step of the process. He was MORE THAN helpful when it comes to me asking a million questions and even on the days I just needed to know how to handle my now ex-wife being a royal pain. I would recommend this man to anyone and everyone seeking help. He takes his time to explain what he's doing but also isn't just another money hungry lawyer taking their time just to get paid more. If I could give him more stars I would! Thank you David Jacks for being there for a retired military dad who just wanted his son back!

Divorce Protector of Families
David Jacks of The Jacks Law Group was hired to handle my divorce after 23 years of marriage. I also have children that needed to be provided for and protected of their best interests. He took my case handling it with professionalism, care, efficiency, effectiveness, and was very thorough to make sure everything was declared to get me the best results for my family and myself. He was very fair in pricing never over charging for time spent like so many others do in their field. I highly recommend David Jacks as a divorce attorney if you want the personal caring of your family, best representation of your case, and someone to fight for your rights. He gave me his cell number and was available if needed 24 hours a day, My case settled very fairly, which greatly benefitted me and my children. :)
