Jake was really fantastic! Always There for me in court very smart attorney that does not hold back he found strategies for me to choose boy do I feel satisfied and safe dealing with Jacob. In my experience, some lawyers do not even pick up the phone when you call them you get thrown to voicemail and you hope that they call you back, which is especially harrowing if you are unsure about legal matters this was my best choice!

I don’t know where my husband and I would be today if it weren’t for Jacob Fendley. He helped us through the absolute worst time of our lives and made it bearable. He’s professional, compassionate, and experienced. We truly felt like he was on our side the whole time. I could not recommend a better attorney
