It is rare to find a lawyer with even one good review written on them on the internet, yet alone several. To have several and have them all 5 star is unheard of. It is the reason we met with her, hired her, and we have yet to be disapointed. Virgina has earned them all! She took on a VERY complex and difficult case with issues going back over 2 years. The case is still ongoing but could not be more pleased with the results so far. She really knows her stuff and goes at it with diligence. We have had 2 lawyers previously who left more than a bad taste with their extremely costly errors, lack of knowledge and plain failure to show up! Virginia has renewed our faith that there really are lawyers out there that you can trust to do the job you would expect them too. You will NOT be diappointed in her representation of you!

Virginia is the kind of attorney that will get things done in timely and respectful manners. She tells a client why she takes a certain approach and keeps clients up to date with changes and info. She is a fantastic attorney as far as knowing her way around the law and facts and combining that knowledge with tact. She was a word of mouth local area referral that turned out to be a true blessing and affordable. A client definitely gets their monies worth. Virgina does her home work to stay sharp in the practice of law. I was very impressed that she will listen to her clients fully and if you are honest with her she will be honest and work best for you. I appreciated her vigor in the court room being the aggressive attorney I needed for my case. Virginia is more than competent and I'm thankful to have found her. I highly recommend her.

Virginia was a godsend during an extremely challenging time with a relative who needed to have a temporary and then a permanent guardian appointed. She helped us understand the pros and cons, the AZ statutes related to such, the court processes, the relative's rights, etc. She was very patient in answering many questions to us "novices" and responded very quickly every time we needed advice. Did great research for us. Is helpful, trustworthy and provided great legal counsel.

I used Virginia twise and both times she was helpful, knowlegable and very wise in helping both myself and my husband. She worked for us with all she had and did an excellent job given the details of our situation. She is very honest and trustworthy.

It can take a long time to find the right attorney. We were lucky that someone we trusted recommended Virginia Jacobson as an attorney. Virginia made the entire process of dealing with a potentially terrible situation effortless. We found her to be very kind and caring, but tough when she needed to be. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the system is remarkable. She saved us alot from additional challenges with her seamless representation, and thankfully our outcome was far better than we imagined, only because she did her research well. Virginia also has a very good working relationship with the courts and judges. I can see where she has earned their respect.
