Best lawyer ever!

This superwoman not only took my case when no one else would she also challenged herself to practice criminal law when her specialty was educational. Her expertise not only secured my release from San Quentin as a life term inmate, she was instrumental in my being discharged from parole as well. I wo...uld recommend this woman to any seeking justice from an unforgiving system because she will fight like a badger for you.

Amazing Educational Attorney

Words can't express our appreciation but we'll try! What started out as a super daunting process, Deborah and her EA Lindsey made it so easy to understand and we felt confident in their leadership throughout the unknown. Thank you both so much for your expert guidance and assistance throughout the m...ost stressful times of our lives as parents, financially and emotionally (especially during COVID). We are so blessed to have crossed paths with you in this life.

Direct, precise and friendly guidance

Deborah provided me with outstanding guidance and consultation at a time when I needed it most. I am grateful for her directness, ability to see the big picture very quickly, and to summarize next needed steps when fighting for my child's needs. She also was extremely responsive, contacting me in l...ess than 24 hours of my inquiry. I admire and appreciate her professionalism.

The best, most effective special education attorney you can find

Deborah Jacobson is a very unique lawyer. It is rare to find so many exceptional qualities in one person. She is able to assess what is realistic and what she will be able to accomplish. She is very smart, dedicated, persistent and results oriented. At the same time, she is compassionate, kind a...nd patient. She never gives up and fights for what she knows those whom she represents are entitled to get under the law, in spite of the enormous opposition from the district. As far as I know, Deborah never lost a case she agreed to fight for. My daughter has special needs and we were repeatedly denied by the district those services which my daughter badly needed. This left us without any hope of support or assistance. Deborah was able to get the district to provide financial support for the placement of my daughter in a special school. When it turned out that the school could not actually support my daughter, Deborah did not give up and was able to go back to the district and get financial support for another placement in an out-of-state therapeutic school better suited to my daughter's needs. During this process, Deborah was always available and caring. I am incredibly lucky to have found her and have her be the lawyer representing my daughter. February, 2017
