About
Tim Jacobson has been recognized as a Wisconsin "Super Lawyer," as well as an Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker and a best-selling novelist. A dedicated conservationist, Tim has worked as a conservancy executive director and served as president of a nonprofit public-interest environmental law firm, as well as serving as president of an 11-lawyer traditional firm. His legal work has included representing Wisconsin commercial corn growers as part of $110 million settlement of nationwide class action lawsuit with claims arising from genetically-modified “StarLink” corn. With co-counsel, he achieved a multimillion-dollar settlement of an environmental class action on behalf of 300 property owners. More recently, his legal practice has concentrated on pursuing environmental nuisance claims against frac sand mining companies. He has successfully appealed circuit court and administrative decisions, including obtaining victories before the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, the Iowa Supreme Court, and defeating an opponent's petition for certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court. His legal work to protect the rights of citizens and the natural environment has garnered positive news coverage around the country. With regard to one of his prior law firm partnerships, the online edition of USA Today said, “If the firm of O’Keefe Jacobson isn’t careful, it may wind up giving lawyers a good name.” Saint Paul Pioneer Press called O’Keefe Jacobson “one of the most Internet-savvy law firms in existence.” His court admissions include the Supreme Court of the United States, the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Federal District Courts for Eastern and Western Districts of Wisconsin, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the State Bar of Minnesota. Additionally, he’s a Major in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol), where he has served as a Mission Pilot and Assistant Wing Legal Officer in the State of Wisconsin. He earned a black belt in karate, a pilot certificate in land and seaplanes, and a remote pilot certificate for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

Attorney Jacobson's advice was clear and respectful of our concerns. As our situation changed with the proposed sand mine near our property and with Chippewa County who issued the reclamation permit, he gave us sound advice each step of the way. We appreciated his depth of knowledge about the issues involved with the proposed sand mine, the negative impact on the environment and the community and the county permitting process that we considered deficient. We liked that he developed award winning documentaries about Western Wisconsin promoting appreciation of the land we want to protect. We would certainly recommend Attorney Jacobson's services for any environmental issue.
Tim worked hard for us against the frac sand mine that was going to be placed at our door step with the processing plant just past our property line. We won - no mine! Tim was very friendly and dedicated to the cause.
He reviewed all data and related narratives that I had prepared. Then, researched applicable cases and decisions that supported our filing a claim. He consulted as to what expected results could be expected. Finally, he prepared proper filing for our claim. Results were as "hoped" for!.
