Hi residents of Missouri,…read more I just called Marc Jacob, Esq office to discuss and possibly retain him for real estate matters I have as an investor in Missouri. The receptionist or the person that answered the phone asked me if I just want to ask him for free some questions or am I looking to hire him. I said both, I am having tenant issues in one of my SFH and I could use his consultation. She than told me that he is not taking on any new clients. Why did she ask me those questions in the first place if he is not taking on any new clients. It was her tone and she was unprofessional. I would never hire her to answer my phones! I regret I ever called Marc Jacob office.

After finding the perfect home online we booked the very first showing of the home for the next morning. We arrived no less than 5 minutes after the house was opened to realtors and found 3 other realtors and families already on site. As expected we were in love with the house. But everyone else was too. We knew we had to act quickly if we had any chance of having our offer being accepted. Christy's ability to read the market, the sellers, and the competition, then further formulate an offer and expeditiously submit the offer gave us the edge! We couldn't throw more money at the house than asking price, but Christy made sure we made our bid as desirable as possible to the sellers. Despite other offers being made our offer was the one the sellers selected. A quick phone call and minor modification to the terms that same evening Christy had us a signed sales contract! There is no doubt in my mind that Christy's experience, attention to detail and quick action won the day, and us our dream home. Christy has always offered to preview homes on our behalf saving us time. She's also helping in a multitude of ways after we signed our sales contact ensuring that this transaction is as smooth as possible. Since she's a top Realtor (and lawyer btw) I'm confident we're not her only clients. But we couldn't tell. Every phone call, every listing, every appointment she was there... early!

Caveat emptor. I strongly believe everyone is good at heart. However, what I walked into was…read moreseemingly not a law firm. If you like hiring an attorney who files to have your house sold a year after it was sold, and a junior attorney who perhaps ruins your entire life because they are upset about their own lack of accountability, then go with Jonathon. Ask why you cannot leave a voicemail. Ask why there is no mechanism to make you aware of filings. I very strongly suggest due diligence. I think there are decent people here who may have indecent personal matters going on, but those were never disclosed to me and forced me into a financially untenable legal position. Withdrawing a day before he told me--and before the trial was complete--is client betrayal and unacceptable.

# A Devastating Failure of Advocacy During the Most Critical Time of My Life…read more I am writing this review under my own name because people deserve to understand my experience. My litigation has now been ongoing for over two years, and since my representation by Jonathan Marks, I have consulted with multiple highly respected attorneys in Missouri regarding the events that occurred during my case really before it even started. The consistent concern I have heard is not simply about the outcome, but about the process, the lack of preparation, the lack of communication, and decisions that I believe were made without my informed consent. I hired an attorney to protect me during one of the most financially and personally catastrophic periods of my life. My companies were under attack, my financial world was unraveling, and I was navigating an extremely complex divorce and business matter involving significant assets and consequences. Despite the seriousness and complexity of the situation, critical decisions were made before a full financial record had even been developed before the court and before substantive divorce proceedings had truly begun. A temporary arrangement was entered that, in my view, mirrored major settlement terms and impacted significant rights and claims without the level of analysis, preparation, and consultation I expected from my counsel and in a hearing that it belonged. What remains most disturbing to me is how those decisions were reached. Negotiations and conversations occurred outside my presence and without my express authorization. My civil attorney, who was present and actively involved in related matters, was not brought into those discussions once. When I expressed that I wanted to address my concerns directly before the judge rather than simply accept what was being presented because. everything changed, I did not feel my position was advocated for. in fact I was yelled at while my entire life was on fire. Instead of receiving guidance and protection during a moment of extreme fear and distress, I felt pressured, unheard, and overwhelmed and expressed so. I was facing the potential loss of millions of dollars and years of work that I had built, and I needed an attorney who would fully explain my options, and aggressively protect my interests. No attorney can guarantee a perfect result. That is not my criticism. My criticism is that a client should never leave a critical proceeding feeling they did not understand the consequences of what they were agreeing to or that their own concerns were dismissed. He was fired shortly after I should have ran not walked away from this horrific attorney. The consequences of those decisions have been enormous. I continue to document what I believe exceeds seven figures in financial and business-related damages connected to this period of litigation. The professional, financial, and personal impact has been profound, and years later I am still uncovering and working to repair the damage and my case is not done due to this very event. Based on my experience, I would never retain Jonathan Marks again. If you are considering hiring him, I strongly encourage you to ask difficult questions, demand complete transparency, ensure all significant decisions are thoroughly explained, and make sure your own voice remains central in every major decision affecting your future. He only care about billing you and threatening you if you question his attitude.
