Smart, Meticulous, Easy to Talk To, and Prepared - Highly Recommend (after 3 legal matters)

We have hired Jacob Stasny for three legal matters in the past 3 years; a will, a lawsuit and to consult and represent at a one-off hearing. We feel like we have found a trusted ally that I would turn to for any legal question or dilemma. His background and MBA in finance makes him an ideal fit... for a business's legal needs and we felt comfortable that he has a good perspective on the financial ramifications of each legal matter. At this point he's on our speed dial in case we ever get in a legal jam. He won our lawsuit, which was really tricky and one which I didn't even think that we could win! He got a nice resolution for us and negotiated on our behalf with great skill and foresight. He is obviously very smart, capable, tough and polished (which you want in a lawyer) but also cooperative and congenial to partner with. I recommend Jacob Stasny to family and friends for both contracts, business business affairs, trusts, wills and any family matter that would get dicey without representation. He spells out a lot in an initial consultation and doesn't waste time or money. Jacob is sometimes in meetings or in court and not available to talk so his office staff is important and they are also very helpful and available when you have to touch base quickly on some issue or detail. We've been really happy with the outcome of our three legal matters that we've entrusted to Jacob and will hire him again.

Knowledgable, Caring and Prepared

I was served divorce papers and needed an attorney very quickly. I didn't know where to turn, as it was the most stressful time in my life, I needed someone who I could rely on to guide me through this process the right way. Jacob was highly recommended from a close friend. I quickly put together a... list of three attorneys to consult. I spoke with the first one and it did not go over well at all. I was put off by his demeanor from the outset and I did not, and would not, trust this guy with my divorce case. Then I met with Jacob. He immediately put everything aside and asked questions about me, my spouse, and how we got to this point. When you have never been through a divorce, everything seem intimidating. Jacob was great about explaining the process, reminding me that this is all normal in a divorce case. I cancelled my third appointment and immediately hired Jacob. He took control of the case, kept me informed, and he was always prepared for the worst. He was always available, following up on items and issues as they would arise and handling them quickly to keep the proceedings moving along. I hold Jacob Stasny in high regard and would recommend him to my closest friends and family. I believe if you are compelled to consult multiple attorneys, Jacob should absolutely be on your list. He will be the attorney I go to for any legal matters going forward.

Experienced and Dependable

Mr. Stasny has helped me recoup several monies from bankrupt oil/gas leases. He has also been instrumental in all of my companies legal documents as well as an excellent reference when employment questions arise.
