My expectations were exceeded, very professional and understanding ! Thank you very much!!
My husband and I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Bruce Jacobs and the members of his firm; Receptionist, Elaine; Senior Attorney, Ami; Paralegal, Zaim and Bookkeeper, Ann for their above board professionalism in handling our complicated case. I knew I found the right representation and the integrity of Mr. Jacobs and his firm was second to none. Other Attorneys wanted to take the road of least resistance which was not in our best interest only their best interest. In trying to save our home, it was given the best fight by Jacobs Legal than any other Attorney or firm could have done. I can sincerely express that I looked high and low for the right Attorney that would go the extra mile to fight for our home; prepared to defend and advocate for our cause…It was worth the fight. My husband and I are completely satisfied with the outcome because we know Mr. Jacobs and his firm protected us and did everything within their power to save our home. Mr. Jacobs and his firm, we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your hard work, understanding and compassion this past year. We will always recommend this firm to those in need of fierce representation with integrity.
Great to read about sanction money and city of Miami and all that and as a citizen in my hometown I appreciate it very much But Selfishly, I do wish my own experience had been even slightly more professional, characterized by respect and human decency. Shame on Jacobs Legal. I wish I could give something less than one star. And to the reviewer complaining about $100 consult, consider yourself lucky. At possibly my most desperate moment in 65 years of life in fear of losing my home of 30 years, and a week before having to go to court, I borrowed all $360 for the consult fee. Then I lost income from my part-time hourly job waiting for Mr Jacobs (allegedly stuck in court) close to 2 hours. Initially I felt good as I very much respect his zeal and success and he interacts as a consolable, lovable bear of a man who gives comforting hugs. Ultimately, however, despite providing my case information in advance, and in interest of making efficient use of his time, also gave bulleted points I wished to discuss, we spent less than an hour together. My points mostly were not addressed as he talked about my good energy in the universe and the power of chai (18, and multiples as in $360 & 36k) and quickly recommended I offer $36k (that I don’t have) to an interested party. Jacobs said I could thank them by putting more good energy in to universe by working for good political candidates or writing a good review just before introducing me to associate Amida Frey saying Frey would do everything possible to help me. Seems noting was possible. I am writing an honest review. Returning to my computer I sent thank you email and provided name of friend who might give $36k if she understands proposal. No answer. Late next day got email stating they just need a number by email, don’t need to talk to her. I responded that was not reasonable to expect her money and she would not waste his time, to please call. Next day I wrote and asked again to contact her. Also added some questions I failed to ask in person. Simple for them i think...like how long I might have in home if I lose my case. Response from the firm: Was told my hearing was on a motion to continue. It was NOT. I sent mail to that effect and asked if I should assume they were not going to call my friend and were not going to answer my questions. No response. Two days ago I stopped by their office when I was downtown doing some legwork in my pro se case the day before my real (not motion for continuance) substantive hearing to determine if I lose home or not. Explained to receptionist my concerns about being ignored. Was told Bruce was home with flu but Ami would contact me by close of business. Guess what? Have not heard a thing. The single substantive exchange with the firm that had access to all my case information resulted in a factually inaccurate response. Incompetence at best. Apparently chai doesn’t work too well for me. I got less than nothing for my friend’s $360.00.
So very grateful there are still people like Bruce Jacobs in the world. Bruce and Team saved my families home during a terrible time for us. Bruce is amazing and we recommend him 100%. He is good people too.
Over the past 12 or so years I've known Bruce Jacobs I have seem him successfully save Miami homeowners, often victims of the economy of the last few years from the predatory banks/lender's practices. Without qualification, I would recommend anyone with a mortgage problem to engage Bruce and his team at Jacobs, Keeley. .
Quite simply, Bruce Jacobs, Court Keeley and their team saved our home in the face of enormous odds. We retained our first attorney in 2011 to negotiate a mortgage modification for us. They failed to negotiate a mortgage modification after months of back and forth with the bank. The bank sued and took us to court. The attorney then failed at trial which resulted in our home being foreclosed on by the bank. What we didn't know at the time was that our first attorney was not a litigator and would never have been prepared for a court battle. In December 2013, the bank took over the title to our home and commenced the eviction process. We were faced with losing the home we had lived in for 18 years, including a substantial amount of equity earmarked for our retirement. Bruce took our case in early 2014. He kept us in our home during the court battles with the bank and eventually presented sufficient evidence to the court which resulted in the court vacating the foreclosure and returning title to our home to us in September 2016. That's the very short version of an extremely complicated, exhaustive and expensive five year battle with a very large New York bank. The toll it has taken on my wife and I is indescribable. We are very blessed to have Bruce and the JK team on our side.
