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.

Non-commnunication

This office handle clients affairs very poor. They promise things and don't do it. They won't call you back;they change assisitace too much. Whereas in one month I had three differnt person over my case. They don''t make calls for you on how to get income comning in.The other company's lawyerc stop m...y income in April 2010, without any notice and I'm still trying to get someone to help me and tell me why. But have not got a phone since...

Wonderful and caring attorney.

Went above and beyond my expectations. This was my first time dealing with attorneys and the court system. He and his office staff were always there to answer my questions and kept me informed of the process. I would definitely use him again if I needed to.

OH, WHAT A RELIEF

BEGINNING WITH THE INITIAL TELEPHONE CONTACT AND ENDING WITH A GREATER THAN ANTICIPATED CONCLUSION , MY INJURIOUS WC CLAIM WAS KNOWLEDGEABLY REPRESENTED BY JERRY JACOBSON & ASSOCIATES THROUGHOUT. A DIVERSE PANEL OF MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS REFERRED BY MR. JACOBSON SKILLFULLY RESTORED MY PHYSICAL WE...LL BEING TO NORMALCY. IN ADDITION, AS A RESULT OF JERRY JACOBSON'S PROFESSIONAL ACUMEN INTO THE JUDICIAL WORKERS COMP SYSTEM, ULTIMATELY I WAS AWARDED A GENEROUS FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT ABOVE EXPECTATIONS. ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE OPPOSING INSURANCE COMPANY SENT ME LETTERS REQUIRING CLARIFICATION IN ORDER FOR ME TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE CONTENTS OF SAME. IN EACH CASE, EITHER MR. JACOBSON OR A VERY CAPABLE ASSOCIATE PROMPTLY RETURNED PHONE CALLS CULMINATING IN THE SIMPLIFICATION / INTERPRETATION OF OPPOSING POSITIONS. IN SELECTING THE LAW FIRM OF JERRY JACOBSON & ASSOCIATES TO REPRESENT MY INTERESTS, SATISFACTION AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL HAS BEEN ATTAINED.

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.”
