Very good law firm

My lawyer did a great job in working with my car accident. I had tried to do it on my own and was failing, the insurance company I was Dealing with, Gecio was horrible and very nasty. Once I hired Jacob and Jacob they took care of every thing, got all the medical paid with a nice settlement for us. I...t was all handled very quickly.

Worst Attorneys Ever

Worst attorneys ever. Ineffective, weak lawyers unable to argue my accident case. Was in a severe accident and only got a meager settlement. Would have gotten triple the amount had I done it myself. I would advise everyone to not seek their counsel. The main attorney Jacob was rude and mean. I ...was his client and he yelled at me treating me like I was nothing. He got most of my settlement money and didn't even seem to care about my well being. Had I known any better I would have never sought their help. I wish I hadn't ever gone to them. Now there's nothing I can do about it except to live with it. Please do not go to them I'm only saying this so no one gets what happened to me to happen to you.

When handling personal injury cases, we strive to provide excellent customer service and zealous representation. However, each case has differing facts and circumstances. In this case, the client’s claims are categorically false. Unfortunately, we cannot reveal the facts of this case, but we can say that we did everything we could to ensure this client was able to get the medical care she needed to get back to being fixed and stable. All of her bills were paid and she still received a good chunk of money in her pocket, which equated to more than 2/3 of the settlement. This claim settled over two years ago so we were a little shocked to see her claims on this review site. We are so sorry she had unrealistic expectations and stand by the fact that we did everything in our power to get her fairly compensated. We have hundreds of very happy and satisfied clients who value our ethical hard work and dedication to this community.

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.
