Hired Attorney Andrea L. Jakob, Esq.

I chose Andrea Jacob to prepare our Estate Plan based on the very positive social media reviews. I must say, the reviews were spot on!!! My wife and I found Andrea to be very knowledgeable, kind, personable and patient. She listened to our needs and came up with an estate plan that made sense for us and immediately put us at ease that we had chosen the right lawyer to guide us thru this sensitive task. Thank you, Andrea, for making such a daunting process so reassuring!!!

Hired Attorney Andrea L. Jakob, Esq.

My family needed to have a will, healthcare surrogate, and power of attorney paperwork drawn up ASAP for an ill, hospitalized family member. Atty Jakob met us on a Saturday afternoon, and was very knowledgeable on the relevant topics, super helpful, and incredibly kind and comforting during a time of great stress. She is very, very sharp. Great person. Charged us a more than fair price for her great work. I cannot recommend her more highly.

I hired Andrea originally on a business matter and due to her compassion and flexibility, I have sought her advice and counsel on a number of different issues including my long-overdue estate planning. She is straightforward and easy to work with and I would recommend my friends to use her for their estate planning needs as well.

Hired Attorney Andrea L. Jakob, Esq.

I was very intimidated about the entire process because I was not familiar with all of the laws related to Estate Planning. Andrea made it very simple and was able to communicate and explain everything to me so that it made sense. My plan could have been complicated since I am in a "blended" family, but Andrea made it very user friendly and thorough. While I know she has my best interest, she also demonstrates fairness and doing the right thing which is also important to me!

 
Response from Andrea L. Jakob, Esq.
I thank you so much for your kind review. It was an absolute pleasure working for you and I look forward to seeing you again and working with you in the future. All my best, Andrea

Andrea set up a will, health care directives and a trust for the family. She spent the time explaining the positives and negatives of the process. We felt comfortable with her and she made us feel at ease during this process. I highly recommend her and will be using her for any other attorney needs I might have.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
