Hired Attorney Andrew Jacobson

Andy Jacobson is my go-to for all things legal. I've engaged with Andy on several matters, several times. Each time I've won my case(s) and met my objectives. Some items Bay Oak Law has navigated and achieved for us are: acquiring valuable patents (and defending them), implementing best business practices, even some sensitive, urgent personal matters; all the while enjoying the many benefits of working with a genuine, caring, intelligent & unique human being. Being represented by Andy, via his methodology, makes me confident as well as courageous, to develop future endeavors. Moreover, he has added more to my firms’ operating abilities. Most notable is the all-important risk mitigation expertise. Yet, perhaps most importantly a formidable partner with a highly responsive team. That's empowerment! Unusually, I met Andy merely by calling his office. I wasn't personally referred. I soon realized I'd stumbled upon a master in the field of law. In short, an incredible addition.

Andy gave me a sense of empowerment as I navigated through a tough business issue with a potential business partner, and this was very valuable for me. As a small business owner, I felt confident knowing I had Andy as an advisor through this process.{para}In terms of communication style, Andy employs some strategies that made me realize I was in good hands there, as well. He makes sure he understands completely what your needs are before acting, which results in very thorough legal representation.

Andy was able to get me out of a messy civil matter in very rapid fashion. Better to avoid problems than to have to solve them after the fact! I appreciated Andy's efficient resolution of the matter.

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

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
