Hired lawyer

Jacob does not have his clients best interest at heart. A small job turned into a bank breaker and he crushed us, when we needed his help. We gave him specific instructions or what we wanted done and how much we wanted to spend and he more than quadrupled it with a bill that had items in it that he ...did not do.

Thank you for submitting your comments. I am always striving to improve my practice and your constructive criticism helps me to improve my service to my clients. While I respectfully disagree with your comment that I charged for services I did not perform, I understand the confusion. Legal issues are oftentimes not simple. Lawyers do not always have immediate answers as to how much a legal issue will ultimately cost or how things may pan out in the future. Sometimes matters are too complex, involving multiple parties and multiple legal theories, statutory and common law, to render a reliable opinion without deeper investigation into details. And, not every case is appropriate for certain types of fee structures. Though I agreed to reduce my initial fee substantially, I am sorry we were unable to agree on a fee structure you were comfortable with. I do apologize if you feel you did not get what you expected, but I try to do my best. I am refunding your entire deposit. I wish you the best. -Jacob Zahniser

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.
