(Main Office)

With more than 50 years of experience in cutting edge law, Jacobs, Jacobs & Eisfelder has won countless multi-million dollar judgments — seven and eight figures — on behalf of our clients. We are one of the pre-eminent "Plaintiffs" law firms in the State of California. We are a "boutique" law firm, specializing in direct, personal care and attention to every case in our office. We represent seriously injured victims, family businesses or others wronged by large corporations. We specifically limit the number of cases that are accepted for representation to maintain high quality work, the most aggressive legal representation possible and the personal involvement of our lawyers with every aspect of the development and presentation of a case for trial. As a result, many of our cases will be resolved by substantial offers of settlement. If however, an acceptable settlement offer is not made, we are proven winners at trial.

In addition to representing Plaintiffs, partner Robert W. Eisfelder, specializes in Family Law (marital dissolution) matters involving significant assets and complicated legal issues, including child custody and pre/post nuptial disputes. Mr. Eisfelder has more than 30 years experience handling complex family law matters. Mr. Eisfelder uses his skills as an experienced trial lawyer, to obtain favorable results for his clients.
