I am a lifetime Washingtonian, born in Renton and raised in the Federal Way/Tacoma area. I love fishing for salmon in Puget Sound and going to Seahawks games with my family. My 3 year old daughter asked to have her entire bedroom decorated in Seahawks gear and colors and has a Russell Wilson fathead poster above her bed. We are true Puget Sounders through and through.
I am a client oriented attorney who truly cares about my clients' well being. I am aggressive and fight extremely hard for my clients' rights. I am available during regular business hours as well as odd hours. I consider myself "on call" much like a surgeon in that when emergencies come up, I drop everything and get right on task to take care of the situation and make sure my clients are not overwhelmed.
Give me a call, fill out the questionaire on my website, or email me today. Free consultation and you pay nothing unless you recover money.

I was not going to post this due to the 'medical circumstances' we were given by Jacob as to why nothing had been c...

While other lawyers gave me incorrect information, Mr. Smith was extremely helpful. He went above and beyond to help me find an answer for my complex situation. Even though I ended up not hiring him--or any lawyer for that matter (I was able to find a way to handle the situation one on one with the m...

I had a consultation with Jacob and I am so impressed. He is very honest on what he can and can not do ...you need a lawyer like him who you can trust and be friends with. While everyone has to make money I did not feel that he is greedy or would be dishonest to earn money or have more clients.

Jacob has provided me with an unsubstantial amount of assistant with my dads case. It was a difficult long case and he was professional and very friendly throughout the entire time. He went the extra distance to help me out. I highly recommend Jacob and appreciate his help!
