Mr. Goad was hired through the law firm handling my automobile accident case, and boy was I pleased. Jacob was unrelentingly through, prompt, and professional. He was able to get the best settlement possible under the circumstances. I would highly recommend Jacob Goad.

He was fantastic with my workers compensation case. Came to meet us right of the bat. Drove 50 miles one way to speak with me. Kept me informed and up to date with everything. Wasn't a pushover and went straight after them for more than I thought possible. Asking what he could do for me and who he could speak with to better my care. He'll take care of everything you need with minimal to no aggravation or travel involved. 5 stars and beyond.

He kept me informed and was always accessible. I felt that he would answer all my questions honestly. He even helped my mother out on a case that she was offered a very low settlement and the offer increased 300 percent.

Mr. Goad did a fantastic job when he assisted with a workers’ compensation case. He was easy to get in touch with; promptly returned phone calls and messages when unavailable; and entertained every question at every step along the way.

Jacob was recommended to me and I couldn’t be more happy. He is a fighter in the courtroom. He is very patient, and extremely helpful when making sure the client understands all aspects of the case. I would refer him over and over!

Jacob was actually referred to me by another attorney. Jacob walked me along step by step during my case. I was very satisfied with the outcome.
