Excellent advice and swift response!

I consulted with Jacob regarding my termination. Jacob responded the same day and was extremely professional, kind, thorough and thoughtful in discussing my options, and very helpful in providing background and rationale in how to proceed. I am grateful for the time he spent with me and for the knowl...edge he shared to educate me. I strongly recommend his services and would retain Jacob if ever I need an attorney's services.

Resolution without court

Jacob took on a case of discrimination leading to wrongful termination and resolved it quickly without drama. He was able to negotiate a high severance package in a timely manner. The highest professional and delivered a positive outcome to a tough situation. I am very pleased to have been his client..., highly recommend!

Jacob resolved it.

I reached out to Jacob to help me with my unlawful termination from my previous job, he listened to my case, prepared a demand letter and sent it. He is extremely responsive and explained everything. My case did not get to court, and I was happy with the resolution. A great lawyer to work with!

Super Jacob!

This guy Jacob is the MAN! I called him in regards to a small employment issue where i was terminated without being paid my cleared expenses. He listened to my lengthy story and was johnny on the spot with the information he absorbed and sorted into a well worded response. The outcome was perfect ...for my situation and i walked away with a smile on my face and the new knowledge that my case was a piece of cake. Jacob is very informative and is willing to work with you in a very friendly, professionally and knowledgeable manner :) I would recommend him, even if its just for a consultation to see if its right for you!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
