Jacob was amazing!

I’ve had Jacob represent me for the last several months, he is on top of everything he is caring and very kind yet in court he knows how to stand his ground, he responded in a timely matter even on weekends when text about a serious issue, I’ve never had a bad experience with Jacob he listens to what... I had to say and took that into account when preparing for court/trial, he was prepared and hard working I was very appreciative of him!!

Excellent Representation

The case that I had was a difficult and unfortunate one for any parent to have to go through. It was a continual roller coaster of emotions as a parent, and Jacob was empathetic the entire way with no judgment. There were multiple twists and turns along the way and he was able to be a creative flex...ible thinker throughout. Jacob was very responsive and efficient with his time and mine. The conversations were very candid and he ensured I understood all possible outcomes so nothing would be of surprise. In the end, the case went in my favor and he made sure it was buttoned up neat and tight. I would recommend Jacob and his team to any individual seeking counsel in family matters!

Professional, Knowledgeable, Great Communication Skills

Mr. Allen represented me as a very professional and knowledgeable attorney during my family law case. I highly recommend Mr. Allen to anyone whom may find themselves in the unfortunate situation of needing a family law attorney. Mr. Allen's communication skills are impeccable, keeping me informe...d every step of the way while giving me sound legal advice. Although Mr. Allen and myself maintained a professional relationship during my case I feel as though we are parting ways as feiends. Mr. Allen is extremely personable and a very good listener. My case was quite complex yet Mr. Allen was well-informed of even the smallest details. I highly recommend Mr. Allen!!!

Reliable, Kind, and Patient

Hiring Jacob Allen as my attorney for my recent divorce and child custody case was the best decision I could have made. He was prompt and encouraging every step of the way. He was always available and patient with me to explain the process and provide reassurance when needed. He is very knowledgeable... and always ensured that I was aware of all of my options prior to making decisions. Going through a divorce is extremely stressful but it was wonderful to have such a strong and competent attorney in my corner. Should I require family law counsel in the future, Jacob Allen will be my first call. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Poor representative

I used Jacob during a divorce. I found him unprepared at mitigation and an extremely poor representative. He was argumentative when I questioned his work and I ended up paying him to prepare documents that my ex wife’s attorney had already prepared. You would be best served to find an attorney who... is more professional and prepared.
