Highly professional and reliable representation.

I had a great experience working with this attorney. They really know their stuff and made the whole legal process a lot easier to deal with. They were always quick to respond to my questions and kept me in the loop the entire time. If you need someone who is professional and actually cares about get...ting things done right, I’d definitely recommend them.

Got the job done!

I loved that I could always get a hold of him and his assistant, (love her) who was always there to help and answer any of my many questions promptly, no matter how many times I called!

UNDERSTANDING AND WILLING TO HELP

HE WAS HONEST AND FAIR IN PRICE, HE SEEMS TO REALLY CARE ABOUT CHILDREN HELPING THEIR FAMILIES, HE UNDERSTANDS CAUSE HE IS A FATHER HIMSELF. HE HELPED ME WITH CRIMINAL AND FAMILY LAW ISSUES.

Great attorney

I am a control freak and when it came to my babies, I was panicked at the though that my soon to be ex-husband would take them from me. Finding Jacob was the best thing that could have happened. He and his staff walked me through the entire process, they answered every single one of my emails and ph...one calls and questions (and believe me, I called a lot!) The best part was when I got my bill, Jacob had "No-Charged" many of those calls and emails! He didnt nick;e and dime me, he didnt BS me, and he and his staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt like my needs were important to them. In the end I got joint legal custody and primary phyiscal custody of my children and I am very happy with how things have gone with the visitation. I would call Jacob in a heartbeat if I ever needed any other legal represenation and I would certainly recommend him to anyone who asked.

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.
