Posted by Michael | September 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

My BK

I contacted and interviewed Mr. Jacobs after he was recommended to me by another attorney friend of mine. At the first consultation, I knew I'd made the right choice. Doug was understanding, compassionate, and extremely professional. He took down all my information and advised me without hesitation a...s to what type of BK I should file to achieve the best results. He was not only knowledgeable but also articulate in explaining to me what my choices were and why he was making the specific recommendation he was. For the next 3 years, he was 100% available whenever I needed to have any questions answered or to have specific creditors communicated with. Every time I got nervous, he calmed me down with facts and details, not platitudes or generalizations. Everything turned out just as Mr. Jacobs said it would and my BK is now successfully behind me. I would recommend Doug, without reserve, to anyone in the unfortunate position of having to consider filing a BK.

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.
