Posted by Nicole | October 28, 2026

Extremely disappointing, unprofessional, and concerning experience.

I contacted Jacob Iloulian Law Firm during an extremely stressful and time-sensitive situation involving landlord harassment and serious concerns about our rental housing. I was seeking legal guidance and representation at a time when my family genuinely needed help. From the very first phone call..., the attorney came across as curt, dismissive, and uninterested. He asked what outcome I wanted and told me to email him all the documentation. When I tried to explain that our situation was time-sensitive because of ongoing harassment concerns, I was essentially told to email everything and wait for him to review it. There was little acknowledgment of the urgency or concern for what we were experiencing. Approximately 15 minutes later, he called me again, apparently believing I was a different prospective client named Alex. During that call, his tone was noticeably more enthusiastic, polite, and receptive. However, as soon as I clarified who I was, his demeanor changed, and he returned to the same curt tone, telling me he was reviewing my emails. I was subsequently sent a $250 invoice without a clear explanation of what the charge covered or a meaningful discussion about whether he would be representing us. When I expressed my discomfort and said I did not wish to move forward, his only response was “ok.” The entire experience left me feeling dismissed, confused, and uncomfortable. When someone reaches out to an attorney, particularly during a housing crisis, they deserve clear communication about fees, expectations, and whether the attorney is willing to take their case. Even if an attorney cannot accept a case, basic professionalism and respectful communication should be the minimum. As a woman seeking help in an unfamiliar and intimidating area of law, I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously. I cannot speak to how this firm handles cases once representation begins, but my experience during the initial consultation process was deeply disappointing. I would strongly encourage prospective clients to clarify all fees, the scope of any consultation, and whether the attorney is actually considering representation before proceeding. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this firm.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. Our office receives numerous inquiries from individuals facing urgent legal matters, and we make every effort to evaluate each situation promptly and professionally. I would like to clarify that **the initial consultation and review of your documentation were provided entirely free of charge.** The $250 invoice was for future legal services, should you have decided to retain our office. There was no charge for our initial discussions or review, and you were under no obligation to proceed. Requesting documentation before providing legal advice or agreeing to representation is an important part of our process. It allows us to properly evaluate the circumstances and determine the appropriate course of action rather than offering conclusions without reviewing the relevant information. I respectfully disagree with your characterization of our interactions. My intention throughout was to understand your situation and determine how/if our office could assist you. When you indicated that you did not wish to proceed, I simply respected your decision by stating "ok" rather than attempting to persuade you otherwise. We treat every prospective client with the same level of professionalism and respect, regardless of gender, background, or circumstances. While I regret that we were unable to meet your expectations, I believe it is important to clarify that you received a free consultation and document review, and no fees were charged or collected for those services. I wish you and your family the best in resolving your legal matter. Jacob Iloulian, Esq.

Disrespectful attorney

Hired him, and he was dishonest with me. He was disrespectful towards me and didn't fight for me.

We are committed to providing honest, strategic, and results-driven legal representation. This review does not reflect the standards of professionalism and advocacy that our office upholds. As an attorney, my obligation is to give candid legal advice based on the facts, evidence, and applicable law — even when that advice may not align with a client’s expectations. Clear and direct communication should never be mistaken for dishonesty. My duty is to protect my clients’ legal interests, which sometimes includes explaining realistic outcomes and risks. I treat every client with respect and work diligently within the bounds of the law to advocate on their behalf. Due to attorney-client confidentiality, I cannot address specifics in a public forum. If the individual who posted this review would like to discuss their concerns directly, I welcome the opportunity to do so. — Law Office of Jacob Iloulian
