I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center. But people like Jacob are changing that and making America a more inclusive, more just nation. Jacob presented my petition to a Virginia Circuit Court Judge on November 18th, 2014. The decision was deferred, pending additional information and consideration of the constitutionality of the Virginia Code that applies to marriage celebrants. Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did! Jacob dedicating himself to providing as much support material as to me seemed humanly possible, and in early January, sent copies of those support documents with more exhibits than I would have imagined possible back to the clerk. He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition. His goal was to help help the court understand what Religious Humanism is, why as an Endorsed Celebrant of the Humanist Society who is active and committed to my organization must be treated like an minister from any faith, for our constitution does not allow for one religion to be favored over another. Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had. And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

With very little time, Jacob accomplished for me what seemed like at the time, the impossible. If you require a compassionate, intelligent, and knowledgeable lawyer then look no further. He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center. But people like Jacob are changing that and making America a more inclusive, more just nation. Jacob presented my petition to a Virginia Circuit Court Judge on November 18th, 2014. The decision was deferred, pending additional information and consideration of the constitutionality of the Virginia Code that applies to marriage celebrants. Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did! Jacob dedicating himself to providing as much support material as to me seemed humanly possible, and in early January, sent copies of those support documents with more exhibits than I would have imagined possible back to the clerk. He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition. His goal was to help help the court understand what Religious Humanism is, why as an Endorsed Celebrant of the Humanist Society who is active and committed to my organization must be treated like an minister from any faith, for our constitution does not allow for one religion to be favored over another. Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had. And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

With very little time, Jacob accomplished for me what seemed like at the time, the impossible. If you require a compassionate, intelligent, and knowledgeable lawyer then look no further. He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center. But people like Jacob are changing that and making America a more inclusive, more just nation. Jacob presented my petition to a Virginia Circuit Court Judge on November 18th, 2014. The decision was deferred, pending additional information and consideration of the constitutionality of the Virginia Code that applies to marriage celebrants. Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did! Jacob dedicating himself to providing as much support material as to me seemed humanly possible, and in early January, sent copies of those support documents with more exhibits than I would have imagined possible back to the clerk. He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition. His goal was to help help the court understand what Religious Humanism is, why as an Endorsed Celebrant of the Humanist Society who is active and committed to my organization must be treated like an minister from any faith, for our constitution does not allow for one religion to be favored over another. Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had. And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

With very little time, Jacob accomplished for me what seemed like at the time, the impossible. If you require a compassionate, intelligent, and knowledgeable lawyer then look no further. He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center. But people like Jacob are changing that and making America a more inclusive, more just nation. Jacob presented my petition to a Virginia Circuit Court Judge on November 18th, 2014. The decision was deferred, pending additional information and consideration of the constitutionality of the Virginia Code that applies to marriage celebrants. Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did! Jacob dedicating himself to providing as much support material as to me seemed humanly possible, and in early January, sent copies of those support documents with more exhibits than I would have imagined possible back to the clerk. He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition. His goal was to help help the court understand what Religious Humanism is, why as an Endorsed Celebrant of the Humanist Society who is active and committed to my organization must be treated like an minister from any faith, for our constitution does not allow for one religion to be favored over another. Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had.

Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had. And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

With very little time, Jacob accomplished for me what seemed like at the time, the impossible. If you require a compassionate, intelligent, and knowledgeable lawyer then look no further. He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center. But people like Jacob are changing that and making America a more inclusive, more just nation. Jacob presented my petition to a Virginia Circuit Court Judge on November 18th, 2014. The decision was deferred, pending additional information and consideration of the constitutionality of the Virginia Code that applies to marriage celebrants. Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did! Jacob dedicating himself to providing as much support material as to me seemed humanly possible, and in early January, sent copies of those support documents with more exhibits than I would have imagined possible back to the clerk. He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition.

He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition. His goal was to help help the court understand what Religious Humanism is, why as an Endorsed Celebrant of the Humanist Society who is active and committed to my organization must be treated like an minister from any faith, for our constitution does not allow for one religion to be favored over another. Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had. And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

With very little time, Jacob accomplished for me what seemed like at the time, the impossible. If you require a compassionate, intelligent, and knowledgeable lawyer then look no further. He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center. But people like Jacob are changing that and making America a more inclusive, more just nation. Jacob presented my petition to a Virginia Circuit Court Judge on November 18th, 2014. The decision was deferred, pending additional information and consideration of the constitutionality of the Virginia Code that applies to marriage celebrants. Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did!

Jacob assured me that he would continue to fight for my rights and so he did! Jacob dedicating himself to providing as much support material as to me seemed humanly possible, and in early January, sent copies of those support documents with more exhibits than I would have imagined possible back to the clerk. He was very thorough and I believe provided the Judge all that was possibly available to support my petition. His goal was to help help the court understand what Religious Humanism is, why as an Endorsed Celebrant of the Humanist Society who is active and committed to my organization must be treated like an minister from any faith, for our constitution does not allow for one religion to be favored over another. Jacob was successful in arguing for my rights and tomorrow morning I will go back to the Clerk and be sworn in as a marriage officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia. How grateful I will ever be, for the legal expertise, attention to detail and kindness that combined to make this literally, the best experience with a lawyer I have ever had. And I'm not a person to use the word ever, very often, and I rarely give anyone or anything, 5 stars all across the board, for the record...

With very little time, Jacob accomplished for me what seemed like at the time, the impossible. If you require a compassionate, intelligent, and knowledgeable lawyer then look no further. He possess a charming personality and was a joy to work with. I appreciated that he took my concerns very seriously and got back to me in a timely manner. He was also very knowledgeable and organized. Overall he has helped me gain a peace of mind and greatly expedited the process. I highly recommended this firm.

I had a fantastic case evaluation with Mr. Small. He was well prepared for our discussion, having really spent time reviewing the details I had provided. He gave meaningful guidance on the pros and cons of pursuing my case in different potential ways, and helped me make decisions about how to proceed. He also took the time to talk through concerns about how to navigate the ongoing relationship with the employer to maximally protect myself and keep my legal options open. Above all, Mr. Small showed the utmost respect towards me as a human, not just a potential client. He repeatedly showed, through his supportive words and his keen legal advice, that he respected the difficulty of my situation and that he cared about the best possible outcomes for me personally, professionally, financially, and, of course, legally. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Small to anyone facing the misfortune of unfavorable treatment by an employer. His honest, experienced voice will help guide you through what may be one of the toughest challenges of your career. That's what he's done for me.

Jacob Small made a big difference in my life by representing me in litigation. It was serendipity that I was referred over to him from another firm. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable of employment law, he’s very professional, incredibly hard working and thorough. There was not one single time that I doubted he would take my case to victory. I believe he truly cares about justice at the end of the day, and he helped me get mine. He was extraordinarily responsive and extremely tech savvy which I thought was impressive and useful to keep everything organized. I would 110% recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Smalls was extremely straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcomes of my ADA case. He took over the case from another attorney. He came in fighting like a terrier going after a rat. He was able to make the other party understand that this was a serious matter. His spirit assisted in bringing the case to an end that removed the stress out of my family's life. Mr. Small researched, asked questions and studied all about service animals in the workplace. He did not mind taking the time to learn and understand how my life and my family's changed before and after a service dog. He reached out to others to gain knowledge. If he did not know something he would tell you let me find out more about that. His honesty was very comforting. I would recommend him to all who wants someone that will have their back in fight when it comes to fighting for your job and lively hood. Thanks for caring, taking time and losing your own family time to assist me and my family.

Mr. Small has a wonderful personality, and is willing to go that extra mile if need be to help a client in whatever way necessary. Wonderful person, and great attorney. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Small to anyone who asked.

A wonderful lawyer, who took a case that going in knew it was going to be a struggle, but still took it. And got me a settlement. Always professional, and understanding. If you want a lawyer who actually cares, then hire Jacob Small.

I hired Jacob for an employment case in which I was the victim of abuse, harassment, and discrimination. Upon meeting Jacob (over the phone) I expressed to him a handful of emotions; more or less "venting". After my lengthy catharsis, during which he never interrupted, he validated my concerns; repeating the words I had used and the context in which I had used them. He had truly listened to me... every word. Over the next nine months, Jacob responded to my emails morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. He explained everything he planned to do, why he was doing it, and how it would impact our case. He would ask how I felt about his approach, and asked if I had any questions. Even if he had to explain the same thing three different ways, he did so with patience and exceptional knowledge. It was my case and as expected, I had some decisions to make. Jacob explained all of my options in detail, answered any questions I had, and never pressured me to make one decision over another without thoughtful consideration. Let me make clear that Jacob was not charging by the hour. I knew his time on the case was not spent entirely on the phone with me; I trusted he was doing exceptional work at any normal or odd hour. He proved time and again how exceptional his time was spent. At one point during the case a situation came up and I thought "oh man... what are we going to do now?". I was doubtful and kind of scared that all would be lost. Jacob calls me up and said "I have been planning on this very scenario for months and have a response prepared". He never reacted to anything, he was prepared for everything. The categories to rate Jacob include Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, and Kept me Informed. He was not just excellent in all categories, but above and beyond exceptional. Jacob deserved every cent of his share of the settlement. He earned it and so much more. If only I had been awarded more! I am proud to have had Jacob as my lawyer and almost look for people in the same situation so that I can refer him! Thank you Jacob.

Has your employer terminated you through no fault of your own and is now trying to deny you your unemployment benefits? A sad and all too common story. Jacob is your guy. He carefully went over the entire incident (reviewing documents my old job generated that I was easily able to upload to him) and helped me plan a course of action for the upcoming hearing. As the day approached, we practiced with each other about what to say, and on the big day, Jacob was by my side on the phone in the hearing and asking my former employer questions she found herself refusing to answer. She slung all the mud she could at me, but Jacob put a stop to that and helped me to win the case! Jacob's passion for us regular people is his greatest asset. He's an advocate for anyone victimized by bad management, questionable business decisions, or just plain malfeasance. As a worker, you are an important part of the American Landscape and you deserve to be treated fairly! Trust me on this guy. He saved my butt. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Early this fall I was in need of legal advice and representation for a petition to the Virginia Circuit Court to be approved to conduct wedding ceremonies. I am and Endorsed Celebrant authorized by the Humanist Society to conduct weddings, funerals, baby welcomings and coming of age ceremonies. Unfortunately, the Clerk of Court was unfamiliar with Religious Humanism, so she deferred my application, which techinically satisfied Virginia Code 20.23. I became, due to a simple, but significant, lack of understanding, a victim of religious discrimination. This is why I sought legal help. Finding Jacob was just the help I needed and for that I remain grateful. Jacob was willing to take my case and is experienced in supporting people facing discrimination. In this, he is part of creating a more inclusive America, where we are all treated fairly and justly and in that, more humanely. Jacob was professional throughout the process as well as kind an clear spoken. I was able to understand most everything he explained to me. He was more than willing to explain something in different words when I had questions. What struck me most about Jacob, in addition to a sense that he is ethical, honest and genuinely dedicated to seeing justice served, in addition to all of that, he has a natural ability to translate complicated legal ideas into words that are understandable. Language for regular people who are not lawyers. Throughout our phone conversations and emails, Jacob was impeccably respectful, as he was kind, caring and compassionate to my situation. How fortunate I am to have Jacob Small support me through the process of navigating the legal process, which I could never have done on my own. Jacob asked me to send him copies of documents and paperwork that he felt would support my petition. He secured an affidavit from the head of the Humanist Society and conferred with David Niose from the Appignani Legal Center.
