Super helpful, patient and knowledgeable. He worked with us to figure out a family real estate situation. Thanks Bob!

Sat down with Bob today looking for guidance with a real estate transaction I am involved in. I must say Bob helped me thoroughly. He left no stone unturned. He was kind and considerate while listening to my situation and then thoughtfully provided his advice and suggestions. He is now on my small list of trusted advisors. I will recommend him with confidence to my friends and family. read more

If I could rate Robert Jacobs 10-stars I would. I was referred to Mr. Jacobs from my real estate agent when I found myself involved in a real estate transaction where the seller's broker was acting inappropriately trying to cancel the contract. Mr. Jacobs attention to detail and his strategic approach to our circumstances led to a successful outcome to a situation I initially thought was bleak. Mr. Jacobs approach to the case was that of a skillful chess player. He anticipated with accuracy the response and actions of the seller and the seller's broker and was able to provide me with all the "what if" options as he worked on my case. The best outcome for my case was 100% of my attorney fees paid by the seller and the close of escrow on the house for my family. He was successful in making it happen and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Robert Jacobs and would definitely retain him again. read more

Mr. Jacobs was referred to me from my estate lawyer and it was a blessing that she did. I lost 3 immediate family members within 7 months last year and found myself the sole trustee of the family trust. Things got even worse when I found out that a contractor that had been hired to fix up and sell the house fraudulently signed my name on a loan against the house. I live out of the State of California and was absolutely devastated and angry to be taken advantage of at a horrible time of my life. As soon as I signed on with Mr. Jacobs everything started to turn around in the right direction immediately. He also put me in touch with a top notch realtor. I can never thank Mr. Jacobs enough for all he did for me especially when we never even met in person, everything was done via telephone. I would recommend him antime. Thank you Bob! read more

From time to time "regular people" need a lawyer. I am grateful to have Bob Jacobs available to advise me. Over the years I have consulted with Bob on a variety of business and family issues. Bob has unfailingly helped me reach the right solutions. He is smart, and--yes--clever, but underlying this is a man of principle and honor. He is patient, organized, and reliable, and can be counted on to help clients navigate and de-stress in tough situations. Bob has my strongest recommendation. read more

I have never been talked to so rudely by a professional in my life. I was referred to Robert by another lawyer to get a consult on a case I am dealing with. Before even hearing my story Robert told me I must be doing something wrong. His exact words, "well you have a dead baby and you're in dependency court for the second time, you must be doing something wrong". Not only was his comment premature (as he only asked me 2 or 3 questions before determining I was a horrible parent) it was completely insensitive and rude. I can see why he no longer practices dependency law (even though his reason was "it cost to much"), I feel it's because he doesn't want to take the time to understand the patents. Praise God I was able see his true colors before I spent any money on him. I can only pray that no other innocent person looking for help makes the mistake of calling Robert. Not everybody that deals with CFS is as strong as I am, and comments like that could cause a person already going through an unimaginable situation to fall off. read more

Mr. Jacobs was referred to me through another attorney. He took the time to really understand my case and offered me strategic options to resolve my case. Rather than take my money and simply file a law suit, he offered several other alternatives that would not only keep me out of the litigation process and out of court it would, in turn, mean he would not make any money off of my results. In other words, he has ethics. I was really pleased with the advice and counsel I received by Mr. Jacobs. I would feel more than completely comfortable referring him to anyone I know without hesitation. read more

There have been a handful of people in my life to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude, and truly Robert Jacobs is one of them. At the risk of melodrama and hyperbole, it is really no exaggeration to say that he saved my life. My future, anyway. In a legal sense, most of us are lost and vulnerable in a forest filled with wolves. Corporations and their battalions of lawyers are just such a pack, without pity, compassion, or morality, and legal or not, they routinely rip people like me to shreds, leaving our lives in ruins from which many of us can never recover. Some years ago, innocent and blameless, I nevertheless found myself in this legal "forest" at the mercy of these wolves, and it was at that time that Robert Jacobs came to be my Champion. He listened to me... really listened... and he heard my fear and despair, that through no fault of my own I was about to be financially ruined. And he said to me, "You can relax, because I am not going to allow anyone to hurt you." And that is exactly what he did. I really felt that his defense of my interests... his defense of me personally... could not have been more powerful or relentless if I had been a member of his own family. From the bottom of my heart, and with sincere gratitude, I thank you, Mr. Jacobs, for everything you have done for me. read more

As an attorney I am often in the position of referring clients and potential clients to other professionals & attorneys who may be the better expert for them and for years Bob has been one of my go-to referrals for real estate legal matters. He has always been very helpful to my clients and the feedback I have received from those who ended up utilizing his services was always positive. In 2015 I had the opportunity to hire Bob as my OWN attorney. I will be forever grateful to Bob for his counsel and his guidance through a very challenging time in my business. He not only represented me in a contentious landlord/tenant matter but he helped me to keep my cool and allowed me to focus on the rest of my business. I was very pleased with the outcome and I believe that I would not has done as well if I had attempted to represent myself. Bob is a very personable and very honest attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney in his areas of expertise. read more

Mr. Jacobs is very easy to talk to and was incredibly helpful in my situation. The charge was very reasonable for the assistance I received. I feel he was really knowledgable to my construction issues, and addressed it in a very compassionate manner. read more

As a new widow, I sorely needed someone that I could trust. Bob Jacobs was that person. He gave prudent advice which saved me thousands of dollars and settled a lien issue that we had hanging over our heads for years. Thanks to Bob, I can finally move forward on my real estate decisions. Bob Jacobs is a straight-forward, honest individual that I wholeheartedly recommend to all. read more

Bob listened to me, researched my situation, addressed the issue, and secured a just and fair settlement. It was an area of employment law that even though he wasn't familiar with, he quickly addressed and solved my problem. Great service. read more

I was referred by Tri Valley Housing Authority (an agency that's supposed to help people w/ financial & housing issues). I was advised his services were expensive, but he was the best. I have only hired one other attorney before - for divorce. That time I got a free consultation & the attorney didn't waste time. Mr. Jacobs doesn't give free consultations. He stood at his computer typing while I told him my situation & what I was thinking of doing. Once I was done, he sat back in his seat & 'processed' the info. He informed me that this could take some time & leaned back again in his chair & 'PROCESSED' - some more?! This was costing me money each minute he sat there! Then he came up with these ideas that wouldn't work for me - such as filing for bankruptcy to eliminate a mortgage loan. The loan is not in my name - which I already told him! Then suggested ideas that would cost me 15-20K. Most of my issue is that I am newly divorced & can't afford the house I live in & was also left with IRS debt. Yet, he kept finding things that would just keep me in debt. He was nice enough to hand me a tissue -WOW! I was told how lucky I was to be referred to him - that he doesn't usually toot his own horn, but he was very good at what he does & could shop around & not get the experience/expertise he could provide. Again, I am being charged by the minute, $5.83/minute. I couldn't sum up the courage to tell him I was done. I was so desperate for some good advice that I just sat there & listened, but finally felt none of his 'processing' was getting me anywhere. I told him I would think on the info, knowing full well I would not hire him. I was shocked when he handed me the bill. As it turns out my appt lasted 132.08 min & was charged for every one of them! I think I was even charged for the time it took him to sign for a UPS package during my appt - he never stopped the clock that seemed to run the min he stood at his computer. I realize I took up his time, & he gave me advice, but feel like it was just a waste of money I don't have right now. Though I don't have much experience w/lawyer interactions, I would think the person should just listen (taking a FEW notes) instead of typing everything I say, then having to 'process' it. My advice: look for a lawyer that does offer FREE CONSULTATIONS! read more

Mr Jacobs - is everything you read about him and more. We were leasing a building and purchasing a business. With all these expenses, this is the last time you want to spend extra money on legal advise - but things did not seem quite right so we did. This decision saved us tens of thousands of dollars. Not only did Mr Jacobs help us understand and negotiate our lease - the original reason for hiring him. He also helped us revisit the purchase, and in the end we purchased the business for less than half of our original offer. Throughout the process he took the time to explain the law and how it applied. He consistently demonstrated the highest integrity, always honest and clear. We have the utmost respect for him and will go back to him whenever legal advise is needed. Thank you so much Mr Jacobs! You made a real difference! read more

Bob Jacobs has integrity beyond reproach, will always tell you the truth, is very thorough and works for the best solution for his clients, not just the fastest, easiest way to close a case and bill it. He is thorough and a bright legal mind. My wife and I were conned by a customer who refused to pay us, resulting in a very complicated and painful decision to resolve it all, which involved closing our business, selling our home and starting over. (People with more money sometimes win, even if it's not fair...such is life.) His expert guidance helped lead us through this difficult journey to restructure our lives while protecting us from multiple legal exposures so we could survive. He was generous and understanding and promptly turned one legal dispute in my favor, resulting in a settlement both sides could live with. Shortly thereafter he kindly helped me with some unrelated needs in a new venture and then didn't charge me, offering his service as a good luck present for my future endeavors. All of this helped us heal and move on in our lives. Nobody likes legal problems. When problems arise, you want a fighter on your side, who is trustworthy. Bob Jacobs is an advocate for his clients and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bob or hire him again if the need arises. read more

I went to Robert highly referred by a friend. I was there less than half an hour and we didn't even look at the Real Estate documents. The documents have to do with R.E. and 70% of his biz is R.E. law. I already have Probate referrals, Tax Attorneys, etc.etc. This particular area is in need of a R.E. Attorney and that is what I have been advised by Many other attorneys in other Fields. Being I work with many Specialists I was looking for an Honest man to tell me the Answer that he does know but he wouldn't tell me, sadly. My daughter and I have been badly taken advantage of for 12 yrs in Probate court wrongly, to the point it is not even Probate Court anymore. Though I do believe Robert had the answer he would not get involved to help me sadly so we continue to suffer in pain until the Media takes over. Sorry you didn't help me Robert, You didn't even refer me after you stated you would as you shied away due to the illegal behavior that has been done to a Myself (widow) and our only daughter, as we are damaged severely. You don't see me cry at home as I try to be positive when in front of Public. Hope next time you will realize a lot of Christian ppl needing Justice and Help! I help whomever I can, hope you will next time read more
