Excellent attorney

Molly Jacobson assisted me with my estate planning. After my husband and I purchased a home and had our first child, we needed to get all of our affairs in order. She was extremely informative and efficient throughout the entire process. She was also incredibly responsive to all of our questions, ...phone calls and emails. I would highly recommend Ms. Jacobson.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
