I would like to bring to your attention the dissatisfaction I have experienced with the legal services provided by the individual in question. Throughout the duration of our engagement, I have encountered numerous issues, including lost documents, incorrect paperwork filings, missed and delayed meetings, and a lack of transparency. Despite assurances to promptly address a time-sensitive matter following my initial payment, I find myself four months later without any progress. Furthermore, the individual has ceased responding to my attempts to communicate, prompting me to consider filing a formal complaint in order to seek a resolution.

Richard is knowledgeable especially divorce and bankruptcy . Good man he has done alot for the law

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Richard is a liar, he’s extremely disorganized, and wasted months of time in a custody battle. He was over an hour late to one court date and missed two other court dates entirely. When I asked for my money back he refused. He’d make inappropriate comments about my appearance or what I was wearing. He is one of the absolute worst attorneys I’ve had the displeasure of meeting, I am surprised he’s still allowed to practice.

A unique blend of skills you'll appreciate having on your side, highly recommended! I highly recommend Richard Jacobson who served as my divorce attorney. He showed his commitment to my case by listening to my concerns and making my needs his priorities. His cogent methods during negotiations were effective and tactfully delivered. My extremely contested divorce was an arduous ordeal, yet throughout it I felt supported and very well represented. Ultimately the divorce process will end, but for children it is a lifetime event. Richard continually advised me of the pros and cons of pushing too hard or giving up too much throughout the divorce process. I think this critically important ability cannot be overstated. Richard has an amazing breadth and depth of knowledge across both the legal and practical side of family matters, and he communicates it more effectively than anyone I know. Richard earns my highest recommendations because he has the skills and abilities to win at both offense and defense on my behalf.

I paid a $1000 and got one letter out of this lawyer on my behalf that I had to rewrite because of all the incorrect information. And maybe got one phone call out of this lawyer on my behalf, but i'm not even sure if that happened based on all of the lies to me from this lawyer and lack of attention to my case. I had to send tons of reminder emails to him over a six month period to even look at my time sensitive case. I definitely do not recommend working with this lawyer. It was a very frustrating experience.

Working with Atty Jacobson was a terrible experience. Lied about contacting the opposing counsel, lost documentation, ect. We wasted over 2 weeks and now we are rushing to find representation. I get attorneys are busy but lying to cover up not doing what we paid him for is inexcusable. I would reconsider if you planned on hiring Atty Jacobson but if you do, I'd verify everything he's telling you.

Extremely incompetent he took my money then he petitioned the wrong person entirely and never told me that i had court then never even showed up to the court date then had the gall to send me a bill for the work that took him almost half a year to even file and file wrong at that, i have lots of proof of this too

Best lawyer in Madison. Brilliant legal mind with decades of experience.

Helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and affordable. He covers divorce cases, bankruptcy, and legal defense. Great to get advice from someone with such a long background in law.

RBJ & Associates are dependable, knowledgeable and thorough in their work. Richard puts you, the client, first and does so in a down to earth manner as if you’re having conversation with a friend. His years of experience serve his clients well and he “tells it like it is”. He looks out for you and does his very best to ensure a favorable, fair outcome. I highly recommend and would gladly elicit his services again.

Richard lied about his experience, took my money and never did any work. When I asked for my money back he claimed he used it up in preparing the civil complaint, however he in unable to show proof of his work. Now I'm left having to file a complaint in order to get my money back.
