I believed in Mr Jacobs after our first talk! He listened, believed, and gave me no doubt that, he will fight hard for me. The whole process went quick. He kept me well informed the whole way. After what happened to me I was stressed, embarrassed, and over all depressed. When everything was finished I felt some redemption, satisfaction, and ready to move forward from the negative incident. Thanks for picking me back up! From the first call until our final handshake, he fought hard for me! If you want honesty, and good old fashion hard work, than Mr. Jacobs is the lawyer for you!
