I was guided through the whole divorce process with Jacob. He did everything in a timely manor and did his very best. He always took the lead on what I wanted and he always made sure everything was done how I wanted. Great communication as well. I got a fair child support and alimony because of him. I would definitely recommend anyone going through any divorce to have Jacob help them.

I hired Jacob to represent me in a family law case my ex-husband initiated. Living in Missouri and having to hire an attorney in Utah was a little stressful, but Jacob made the process go very smoothly. We had an initial consultation over the phone where we discussed the case, my thoughts and feelings, and what the next steps going forward would be if I hired Jacob. Jacob really listened to me, understood where I was coming from and the situation at hand, and was straightforward about how he thought the case would turn out. After hiring Jacob to represent me, we communicated pretty regularly through email, texts, and phone calls. Jacob was very conscious about his fees, and he did his best to keep costs as low as possible for me. I really appreciated this and didn't feel like he was cutting corners or slacking in any way to keep costs low. He kept me in the loop regarding the case throughout the entire process and he made sure to submit my answers and evidence to the court in a timely manner to make sure we were within deadlines. When my court date finally arrived, Jacob and I had a brief phone conversation before our WebEx session to make sure we had everything covered and to discuss the argument Jacob would be making. Jacob stayed on track and argued every point we discussed. Though we didn't get the exact outcome we were hoping for, Jacob did a great job minimizing my loss and I was happy with the outcome we got. Jacob did a great job representing me in this case. Should the need arise in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. He listens to his clients and is always asking for input and direction. He treated my case like we were a team and I really appreciated being involved in what was happening.

I consulted with Jacob when he was a fairly new attorney outside of family law. He struggled with advanced legal arguments (anything other than the usual "failure to state a claim" reply) and was not really able to form a cohesive structure in his writing. He lacks a logical mind that excellent attorneys have as the research and writing that we consulted with came back to that of a first year law student. I am rating him average, because there was nothing above-average in his work.

I have worked with Jacob on a couple of different cases and he was masterful. His preparation exceeded expectations and his knowledge was key in our favorable outcomes. Jacob will be the first person I turn to with any future legal needs

Jacob has been helping me through a child support restructuring and has been great. He is extremely accessible when I need and really knows his stuff. I never felt pressured into making one decision over another, he has very thoughtfully guided me through the process. He has been a great guide throughout this process and is ready to go to bat for me.

Jacob is great counsel and is very attentive to his clients. I had a friend I referred to him with a serious and pressing child custody issue and he was able to handle it quickly. Jacob is who I refer everyone for their family law needs.

Wow what an absolutely incredible experience working with Jakob. When I first started the divorce process I was to say the least not optimistic of what could happen to me and my daughter. After working the past five months with Jakob I have found That he takes extreme caution to understand everything you need on your case. not only did he take the time to really learn every aspect of what was going on but he kept extremely good notes and amazing follow through on the entire process. There is nothing more refreshing than having counsel on your side that really wants to do what is best for you. I found that Jakob is completely transparent on the entire situation and sets Realistic expectations of how the process is going to move forward. At the beginning of this whole process I really wondered if everything will turn out Okay for my daughter and I, after going through all of the hoops that were put in front of me to bring me down as low as possible it is truly reassuring to know that you have counsel on your side that will guide you through all of the right decisions. I would recommend Jakob to any of my friends and family that went through the situation I have gone through. If you have Been debating on who to choose for your counsel I would recommend no one else besides Jakob.

Jacob came strongly recommended by a close friend, and he did amazing work. We got the desired ruling quickly and efficiently. Jacob jumped into my very complicated multiple-state custody case and blocked out all the noise to get to the truth. He has exemplary case law knowledge and will speak to you candidly in whatever respect you ask him to: as your Utah lawyer, as a general advisor, as a "what would you do in my shoes," and help you make the best decision. I have never had a lawyer make as personal an investment in me, my family, and my case. He genuinely cared. He was not shaken by opposing counsel who was dishing out sanctions, lodging personal attacks on me, and in general making a grand ruckus. Jacob didn't acquiesce to opposing counsel's games and honestly he was like a lion going up against a whiny ferret. I have nothing against ferrets, just providing an example of a lawyer who takes the high road, and that's Jacob. We got the desired outcome quickly and for a reasonable fee. Jacob's overall value is off the charts. Jacob, if you read this, thank you so much, you are a huge blessing to me and my family and I pray that other families in need will find you or someone like you to help them navigate the choppy seas of life that may be trying to sink them too. Thank you!

Jacob is very knowledgeable and walked me through the whole process from start to finish. He was professional and on time with all correspondence. He saved me a ton of money and head aches. A difficult job in the case of my divorce. I would recommend him to anyone.

I worked with Jacob for my divorce and he was 10/10. I had a big time zone difference being deployed and he still worked with me and got the work done. He is a really good people person and I highly recommend him.
