Benji
Friendly and supportive while achieving the best results!
“From my first meeting with Ben, he displayed genuine empathy and understanding of my situation. He was always accessible to answer my questions, prompt with responses, extremely knowledgeable of the law and the players at the Placer County courthouse, dedicated to his profession, and extremely ethical and fair. Ben was honest with me and told me what he felt he could accomplish for me with my case. He ended up exceeding my expectations and got my charges completely dismissed. It was obvious that the attorney on the other side with the DA’s office knew and respected Ben. The only way to get the best outcome in these matters is when prosecutor knows you are represented by a hard-working and successful professional like Ben. He put me at ease every step of the way as we navigated through the very stressful legal process. If you want the absolute best outcome for your case, I fully recommend that you hire Ben Jacobs.”
