I had made an innocent mistake and was being heavily prosecuted for it. My initial attorney was of no help in my case and I refused to give up. I read some reviews online and decided to give my business to Ben. He picked up the phone from day one talked to me like a human being, not a number, and patiently listened to my case. After all was said and done, although a lengthy process, attorney Jacob was able to get my case dismissed. My only regret in the entire ordeal was not finding him sooner. I will be forever grateful for attorney Ben Jacob and his hard work.- Wes

Ben and his team were helpful, informative, and available. Ben was very responsive, explanatory throughout the process, and empathized with my situation for my case. He got the job done where my case was dismissed and charges erased. He has a proven method and the competence to accomplish the hardest goals for legal matters. My family and I are very grateful for his partnership and legal savvy. I strongly recommend Jacob Law Firm.- Former Client

One of the most professional people I have worked with. Due to a set of unfortunate events and misunderstandings I needed Ben’s help. He picked up the phone on a Sunday while at his kids soccer game and guided me through everything my wife and I needed to do and the entire matter was dropped. He was pro-active in the process and presented me as a person to educate the DA of who I am while explaining the events and helped us throughout the process. Thanks to Ben life is back on track and we are eternally grateful.- Javier
