Jacob D DeGraaff

Paid consultation- I have been reaching out to attorney's for months without replies. It boggles the mind how many attorney's don't have simple customer service skills. I simply needed answers regarding some court documents. I emailed this attorney expecting no reply. The same day I got a ...reply. He let me know the fee for his service. I agreed. He sent me a link to pay. I paid the next day. I sent him my documents and questions. Within 2 hours of doing so I had the answers to my questions. This attorney is professional, responsive, timely, and knowledgeable. I would definitely contact him again if the need arises. I highly recommend this attorney.

A few yrs ago I consulted with 3 different bankruptcy attorneys, then put off filing, during which time 2 of my 3 creditors (credit cards) debt has expired with the 6 yr Statute of Limitations in WA state. Now, post-Covid times, I found Jacob's firm through the NACA (consumer advocates) website and ...was so glad I did...! He has a warmth about him (as compared to most attorneys whose demeanor can be fairly stern) and took the time to really listen to the nuances of my situation. He seems *much* more knowledgeable about debt settlement scenarios and potential credit impacts than other attorneys I've spoken with or worked with, and ultimately recommended I *not* file bankruptcy and what my other options and next steps could be. I HIGHLY recommend Jacob, and would certainly call him again and hire him for any follow up needs now or in the future. Thanks so much, Jacob!

Jacob helped my husband I through our Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. HIs honesty and willingness to change directions with our circumstances is a true testament to his flexibility and commitment to work with his clients for their best life results. Jacob was always focused on our needs and desires concerni...ng our real estate. Our rental portfolio was 3 rental properties but our circumstances were complicated and he treated us with the utmost care. We strongly recommend Jacob as a knowledgable yet open minded attorney. He is not an income driven attorney, but an attorney that gives great value and caring as his greatest assets. He works hard to get his clients the best result possible!

We met Jacob in 2009 when we were trying to receive all the promised reduced loan help for the major Banks (BOA). We were told by these institutions that the only way to have the banks work with us was to get behind in our payments in other words trash our credit. So after 40 years of perfect credi...t never being late on any kind of a payment we stooped making our mortgage payments. We this just starting the barrage of phones calls. Anywhere from 10 to 15 a day. At this point we sought legal representation. We met with Jacob who instilled trust, confidence, and the belief that we could survive this nightmare and even come out ahead. Jacob very clearly explained the course of action we should take and held our hand through the very scary process of the bankruptcy nightmare. We were able to Keep the income producing properties while cramming down the amount owed and allowing the lending institutions to take back the properties that were not performing. It is my belief that we came out way ahead of the game but we owe the success to Jacob. I would highly recommend him.
