Rick was very flexible with my schedule to meet with my wife and I. Rick explained every step of the estate planning process. He first met with my wife and I to evaluate our needs and provided all the legal documents required for our situation. His rates are very competitive and he answered all our questions in layman terms. I am very comfortable with the estate plan we built together kudos Rick Todd

Cary Jacobson at Jacobson Family Law is everything you would want in a mediator. She took the time to explain everything in detail, even the legal jargon we are not all familiar with. She genuinely cares about her clients and is very pragmatic. She was mindful of time spent – and seemed to understand that money and time is a huge concern to her clients. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience her firm provides – given the issues at hand. If you are in need of a family law attorney – Cary and the Jacobson Family Law team is absolutely your best choice.

I turned to Cary for what was meant to be a simple uncontested divorce. Unfortunately and unexpectedly negotiations lasted for another year due to expectations from opposing party for alimony and other items being unreasonable and unsustainable while I take care of our under-aged children and our house. Cary was there for me every step of the way via emails, phone calls and a couple of four way mediation sessions until we came to an agreement that was acceptable to all. She always had suggestions on how to best approach and handle any given situation. I would highly recommend Jacobson Family Law for your legal needs.

Professional, quick and earnestly helped solve a difficult situation. Rick was knowledgeable and provided guidance and direction along with his expert knowledge on real estate law that made for a smooth and excellent experience. Will definitely recommend for an honest, fair and good value of the highest quality.

Rick prepared our estate documents for us and helped us navigate the difficult international tax problems that we might have had. Don't let his laid-back approach fool you into thinking you are not getting top quality legal advice. You are.

I hired Cary Jacobson for what should have been an uncomplicated divorce in October 2016. Cary patiently, meticulously, and shrewdly guided me through custody, visitation, child support negotiations and final divorce ending in November 2018. Cary was always responsive and professional. She was very clear about the law and the possibilities for my case. Although her goal is to assist parties in coming to reasonable and fair compromises, she doesn't hesitate to pull out the stops and fully utilize her complete arsenal when needed. Along with her understanding and compassion, Cary is shrewd. She legally outwitted opposing counsel on several occasions to obtain what my children and I needed. Her non-confrontational style worked in our favor. Our case included a BIA, Social Worker, Forensic Psychiatrist, and opposing counsel. Cary was invaluable to the experience with each of them. She is well connected and navigates the Howard County legal systems with impressive ease. Her staff is just as on top of things as she is. Cary talked me off of the ledge several times. She was honest about when I just needed to sit still and wait. I'm so glad I listened. Besides a favorable outcome without a divorce trial, one of the huge benefits of working with Cary over two years was learning what was important -- what was worth the big fight and what wasn't. I am now pleased to report back to her when I am able to initiate a successful compromise with my children's father. When you divorce with young children, things always come up. Although Cary provided a clear and concise agreement, our co-parenting is ongoing. I can man the helm in proposing and obtaining compromises so that I don't have to keep going back to court for every little item. Cary modeled that and I am thankful for it. I strongly recommend Cary if you want a compassionate, smart, drama-free, shrewd lawyer who will be careful with your dollars and teach you along the way. She's a definite winner in my book!

Cary was an amazing mediator, she heard the desires of both parties, and was able to help us come up with an agreement where both of our desires were met. In addition she was very responsive to questions asked via email after our session. Thank you Cary I am so grateful for all that you did.

Cary Jacobson at Jacobson Family Law was very professional. I never actual met her face to face but she spoke with me several time to figure out what I needed in a pre-marital agreement and made sure to explain to me what would be the best way to approach my situation. I can now leave some of my assets in my Will to whom I want. I pray this agreement with never be used in any other way but if it has to be I will have some protection.

I can't say enough good things about Rick Todd. For too long my husband and I put off preparing critical family documents. I'm now thrilled to say that we each have a Will and Powers of Attorney for both finances and health. But more importantly, we have peace of mind. Rick was knowledgeable, patient, insightful and took the time to ask relevant questions to make sure we fully understood our choices. If you were like us and confused by the process or simply procrastinating, simply pick up the phone and call Rick. Rick will actually answer the phone and if he is not there he will call you back! Something of a miracle its self in this day and age.
