What Our Customers Have to Say

I Highly recommend the legal services of Kristin Jacobs of the Jacobs Alexander law firm. She handled a case where I needed to have a divorce decree modified. I had a very unusual case involving different aspects of child custody, support changes, over payments, etc. The opposing attorney had been extremely difficult to deal with and borderline "bullying' in my opinion. Despite all the complications, Kristin maintained a solid plan of action. More importantly, she made sure i understood where I stood in each position, protected me from my own emotional reactions, and strategically made moves to make sure the case went in my favor. Quite frankly, I felt like she achieved the impossible in my case. When I was looking for attorneys to represent me in this, I remember thinking, there was no way i would win my case, the deck was stacked against me. Kristin, was a very calming and determined advocate. Moreover, she would check on me thru out the process, I certainly didn't expect that. I hope I Never need her services again. But If i do, Kristin will be my first call. If you need representation, I suggest Kristin Jacobs.
