This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Extremely Professional - Can't Recommend Enough!

I had the pleasure of being assisted by Steven, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was prompt, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. What stood out most was the way he took the time to explain everything clearly and helped ease my anxieties during a stressful... situation. Steven’s professionalism combined with his approachable manner made me feel supported and confident at every step. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and delivers excellent results, Steven is the lawyer to go to.

The best lawyer I've used so far

I've been in several car accidents and he has helped me get medical attention and a great settlement every time. He cares.

"I have known Steve Jacobsen since 2008. I have consulted with him when I have questions about personal injury cases, and he is very knowledgeable. Steve also fights aggressively for his clients and has taken cases to trial when reasonable settlements are not offered. Steve has a lot of integrity and I would trust him with a case."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
