Don't let them waste your time

Go somewhere else...they are the most unresponsive group of attorneys I have ever dealt with. They never return your calls in a timely manner...it takes, on average, 10 days to get a response. If you call and happen to catch your Paralegal, they will likely tell you that "you were on the list, and ...calls were still being returned from last week". The handsome fellow they send for your consultation will promise you the moon and stars, while delivering nothing more than dust. It is not in a client's best interests to continue to push a settlement so that you get maximum fees...yet this continues to be my experience. The attorney handling your case will read your file the day before over coffee, and pay little attention to you afterwards. I've received better advice, and faster callbacks, from calling any of the numbers you see on TV. I really wish I hadn't gone with the first attorney that had the biggest ad in the yellow pages.

HORRIBLE LAW FIRM!! DON'T HIRE!!!

I was rear-ended by a car while I was stopped waiting to turn into a parking lot. The other insurance company was jerking me around so I hired Jacobson's office. It WAS NOT a large, complex case and has been dragging on 2 years. They NEVER call you back. Their database and their files don't match... up. I call and will be talking to my "case rep" and she'll say something that happened last year and I'll "call her on it", then she'll check the file and say, Oh, yea, this is the current happening... All they are is "flapping gums". I have never spoken with Mr. Jacobson, not once. I'm still waiting for this to settle. DO NOT HIRE THIS LAW FIRM!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

I am actually

I am actually an insurance adjuster and Jerry handled my husband's case so well that I transfer him with my case and he surely did not disappoint. I'm a client for life.

Jerry Stuck With Me

Even after insurance denied my case, Jerry stuck with me and was avble to get me a great settlement. I'm very happy that I retained him as my attorney.

Posted by George | May 25, 2012 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Hotly contested

I'm convinced that, were it not for Attorney Jacobson's efforts, my daughter and I would still be in the courts battling for what we were owed. Despite the case being hotly contested, he was dedicated to our cause and fought to ensure that my daughter got the settlement she deserved. If you are looki...ng for a skilled, aggressive trial lawyer who gets the job done, I strongly recommend the Law offices of Jacobson.

Car accident lawyer | Nov 10

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked for and with Jerry Jacobson for about 2 years. Jerry is an excellent attorney who truly cares about his clients. He provides his cell phone and email to clients, that is extremely rare in the Los Angeles legal community. Jerry understands the law, whether it is tort law (civil accidents like automobile collisions, slip and falls, and dog bites), or workers' compensation. Jerry stays up to date on the law and strongly encourages his attorneys to read up on the matter, I know because I did so myself. Jerry is a fearless advocate in Court for his clients' rights, he will not let down until the case settles for what his client wants or is litigated further. I endorse Jerry without any reservations. Vlad R. Ghenciu, Attorney at Law"

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Public reproval with/duties issued in CA, 2004

updated on 08/02/2018

A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.

Jerry’s comment:

“Unfortunately, this was an associate of mine who hid the fact that he failed to file a trial de novo on this case and then continued to mislead the client about the status of her case but since I am the owner, it was reflected on me personally.”
