SATISFIED CLIENTS
They treated me like family. Very patient and thorough attorneys.
Outstanding service. They explained everything so I understand.
They were very well prepared and explained everything in an understandable manner. I was very satisfied with the will and other paperwork they did for me.
I looked around and interviewed multiple attorneys, this firm was head & shoulders above the rest.
My experience with Melinda has been 100% positive. She is knowledgeable and friendly. She answered and explained very patiently all of my questions. The whole process was easy, simple, and fast! The secretary was kind, and conveyed all of my concerns to Melinda with accuracy, and took good care of me both over the phone, and in person. I cannot say enough good things about their services.
I am an attorney specializing in complex real estate transactions for the past 34 years. But when it came time to select an attorney to create a revocable living trust, I chose this law firm to assist me. They did an excellent job! Enough said!

I was looking to obtain a will/trust and scheduled an appointment with Jacobs & Jacobs. I first met with Melinda where she explained in fine detail what was required to fulfill what I was requesting. Upon receiving a draft copy of all documents I then scheduled another appointment to finalize the agreement and met with Daryl. Both are very experienced and well versed in their profession.
Having moved from Massachusetts recently, I knew my Living Trust needed to be updated under Florida law. Jacobs & Jacobs made the process very understandable and affordable.
They made the process so easy and understandable for our family during a very difficult time. I highly recommend this law firm.
I was treated like family. From the receptionist who made my appointment (which was difficult due to my work schedule), to the lawyer who assisted with my estate plan.
My husband & I needed to update our NY last wills after relocating to Florida recently. After interviewing a number of lawyers we found this husband & wife team to be easy to work with & very professional. Their “special couples package” was exactly what we were looking for!
