This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ryan went above and beyond to save our properties. Excellent lawyer!

We would highly recommend Ryan Jacobsen to anyone who needs legal representation with real estate matters. Ryan saved our home and rental properties with his knowledge of the real estate laws, his important contacts, dedication, and hard work. We were victims of mortgage fraud and unscrupulous lende...rs, and Ryan was willing to take on our very difficult and challenging case when other attorneys had declined. We are so glad they did, because Ryan knew what needed to be done to save our properties, and did so under the deadlines. He always went above and beyond to help us. Anyone would be very lucky to have Ryan in their corner, and would have excellent representation!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Ryan is the first attorney who has earned my trust. I wish I found him sooner and highly recommend him to others.

Ryan is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable attorney. He listened well hearing out my explanation of what I was looking for and what my situation was. He was sensitive to my emotions instead of being quick to tell me what I should do and what I wanted from his legal perspective. He gained my trust an...d my faith in his credibility and I believe he represents my best interest based on sound reasoning of the law and on my desire and the outcome I seek. I would confide in him things that I wouldn't with any of the other attorneys I have dealt with. It really is the first time I can say that I trust an attorney to do the best by me he could. He is skilled and intuitive. I only wish I would have known him two years ago when I could have really used a thoughtful and willing attorney. I would highly recommend him to others.

If you want truly honest and sage counsel, look no further than Ryan Jacobsen Law Office.

Ryan Jacobsen is not only licensed in WA state, but CA as well, which helped the probate issues I had for multiple properties. Ryan is very honest, will tell you the law, while giving his client(s) the best advice /award possible. There's no other attorney I'd rather work with, and as long as his ser...vices are available, Mr. Jacobsen is my most trusted advisor, and the only person I will work with for my probate, property, and personal attorney. Mr. Jacobsen's staff, like Mr. Jacobsen, are second to none. (Thank you Amy!!)

Ryan Won My Case And Saved Me!

I own a property management company, and I met Ryan as a tenant I had rented to. Once I realized he was an attorney, I began asking him legal questions about a situation I was currently in involving landlord tenant law. Ryan was kind enough to give me advice and offered his services at an affordable ...price. If he didn't know the answer to a problem, he quickly researched it and got back to me promptly. In the end, we won our case and I was relieved of the financial hardship it would have caused had I lost.

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.
