I can not say enough good things about Steve Jacobson. He recently represented us in an IEP issue with our son. His knowledge of educational law is amazing. He was able to obtain everything we were looking for from our district. He took his time to explain everything and was always available when we had a question. He far exceeded our expectations!

Attorney Weiner represented my daughter in an action against the organization that administers the medical boards. It would be hard to imagine a more knowledgeable lawyer in this area. He was kind and honest, and achieved a favorable result for us. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Couldn't have been happier with my experience with Kevin and his team as they helped settle my case with ease. Every staff member really cared about my case and were very easy to communicate with. This was my first MVA case and I didn't feel the least bit stressed as I went through the process. I highly recommend KBS Injury Law Group for all injury needs. Thank you Kevin, Marshall, Maria, and the rest of the team for helping me get through this case!

Charles Weiner has shown that it is of no importance to him to maintain communication with me, a client that signed a contract with him. It became apparent to me that my documents for a consultation were not reviewed until two weeks after I submitted them, when Charles contacted me to submit two other items (I submitted the requested documents on July 23, 2021 and did not receive a "review" until August 11, 2021). This review was to include an evaluation of all of my documents submitted. Yet, when I asked questions about the strength of my personal statement, Mr. Weiner stated that he focused more on the psychological evaluation and physician's letter, and that further engagement with additional fees is when he would supply an opinion on the personal statement. So the full scope of services were not provided. Furthermore, following his phone call on August 11, 2021, he said that he would provide a written summary of his findings. It is August 28, 2021, and he has still failed to do so. He has been aware of the time-sensitive issues, and yet, I still have received no responses from him. This includes TWO follow-up emails sent to him on August 17, 2021 (in which I even asked how do I further engage for phase 2 which required a $3000 retainer and asked if he handles school policy issues or if he was only working on the NBME issue, could he refer me to someone to handle the school policy issues) and August 26, 2021 respectively. At this point, I have no confidence in his representation or ability to respond to me in a timely fashion or send out documents to the NBME or my school in a timely fashion. I am now seeking new counsel and have to start over on the consultation process with another law firm. This has already been a tedious, long stressful process; and the last thing that I need is someone who I'm paying and who should be essential and supportive in this process, to disappear on me. After filing a dispute with PayPal for services not as described and requesting a partial refund on August 28, 2021; within TWO days on August 30, 2021, Charles decided to respond to me directly via email. So this tells me that he’s definitely been seeing the emails and ignoring them, as the email on file for PayPal, is the same email that I’ve been using to contact him. I didn’t even bother reading his email, as nothing can be said at this point to absolve this situation, because no trust or confidence exists. You don’t drop off of the radar when a client is relying on you; that’s poor business acumen and taking advantage. 12-3-21 update: Charles Weiner stated: “After the review of documents furnished by the prospective client and phone consultation with counsel, which was conducted within a timely manner, counsel conveyed that he was not handling the matter further. Counsel was paid only his minimum fee for the consultation and no further fees were requested or paid. The reviewer is apparently discontent that counsel conveyed that he would not handle the matter further.” It took 1+ month to get an initial call back. At no point in time did Charles Weiner inform me that he was “not handling the matter further.” After our call w/ his “review” of documents, he stated that he would send me in writing, his findings & a contract for the 2nd phase of representation including for the $3000 retainer. I never received that email. I sent him two follow up emails, one even asking if he provided representation against my school. I never received a response from him. That is when I filed a dispute through PayPal. My supporting documents to them were Charles’s contract & his correspondences. Charles sent them something too. PayPal ruled in my favor for a reason. Charles sent me two emails after Paypal ruled in my favor, about my Avvo review, which I only saw a portion of his email in my inbox & deleted them w/o reading. I contacted the state bar & attorney’s offices to stop Charles from further contacting me. This all occurred before he posted here.

Outstanding group of people! Everyone was extremely friendly and professional. Kevin Steinberg representing me was the right move! I would recommend Kevin and his group of amazing people to anyone. Once again thanks for everything.

Kevin and his staff were absolutely amazing. Kevin was professional, patient, consistent, empathetic, sincere, and passionate about helping. As soon as I put in a request that I needed help with my situation, Kevin responded with no hesitation. He was there for every doctor appointment and therapy session. He always got back to me whenever I had a question or concern. Kevin kept me up to date whenever he had more information about the claim. Kevin really cares about his clients more than anything and you can truly hear and feel that through his words. Kevin's secretary Jeannie is so sweet, helpful, caring, and thorough as well. If you need help this is the Law Group to go with.

Phenomenal communication regarding to gathering information and excellent organization when planning for the best option. Always consistent with updates, along with great service, and very knowledgeable.

Kevin is an absolute professional. If your looking for a lawyer who will be on your side and listen to your concerns with compassion and empathy, look no further. Thank you Kevin!

Working with Steve Jacobson, of The Education Lawyers of Jacobson & John LLP, has been an absolute pleasure. Steve is a consummate professional, he is timely, quick to respond, and thoroughly explains current and next steps. Steve guided us through our case with ease, professionalism, and has once again proven his gold star track record.

We are extremely pleased with how Steve at Jacobson and John handled our case with our son’s school district. Things were spiraling quickly and he completely turned it around. Steve was always available to answer or return my calls and emails. He is very friendly and knowledgeable, and guided us through the entire process. He saved my son’s educational life and we are forever grateful for his help and talent! I definitely recommend this firm for all your special education legal needs. They will fight for your child - they did for mine and what a difference it made! Kristin L.

From the very beginning, Hollie John explained clearly what to expect throughout the process. She was very efficient and communicated promptly, politely and clearly. Ms. John also seems to have a vast understanding of the policies and resources of different school districts in the area. And, Hollie seems to genuinely care about the well being of the students and representing the parents to find an educational experience that will help the student flourish. I would highly recommend Jacobson and John as our experience has been positive in all areas. Hollie was able to obtain a successful outcome for us regarding our case. We are grateful to Jacobson and John and hopeful for all that this might mean for our son’s future.
