Amazing... so helpful and so compassionate

I don't even know where to begin. I was really nervous about hiring a lawyer. There are so many to choose from and I had never needed a lawyer before. But I found myself in way over my head trying to get caught back up with my debts after losing my job. I had been recommended to Jacob by a friend who... had also filed bankruptcy, and I am so lucky I called. He answered his own phone, answered all my questions and never once tried to hurry me off the phone. Then we scheduled an appointment and there was no fee for meeting him. I knew once I met him in person I had chosen the best person for me. He is really laid back, but professional at the same time. He helped me understand all of my options, answered all of my questions throughout the process, and was a great support. My bankruptcy went through quickly and the meeting of creditors was a breeze because he prepared me for everything ahead of time. And his fees were really inexpensive compared to some of the other attorneys I spoke with. He really helped me get my life back on track.

Excellent attorney, highly recommend his services!

Jacob was an incredible help from start to finish. My case was fairly complex, and he was able to help me navigate the issues with his expert knowledge and experience. All of the paperwork and filings were completed quickly and any questions I had regarding the case/paperwork were answered promptly. ...His fee was more than fair, I didn't feel like he was taking advantage of me when I was in a tight spot. The consultation was free, and he spent an hour with me answering questions and advising me on my options. When I had to appear in court he was there, and guided me through the process as I had never been in court before. He was confident and prepared with the facts of my case. I thought he was personable, while remaining professional and always a phone call or email away if I needed him. 10/10, I will use his services again if needed and highly recommend him to anyone.

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.
