Capable but inconsistent

Jon Jacobs handled my personal injury case with a solid understanding of product liability law, given his 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition in this area. He secured a reasonable settlement, but communication delays and unreturned messages made the process more frustrating than it needed to be. While his 22 years of experience were evident in the strategy, I often felt like just another case rather than a valued client. The final outcome was fair, but the experience could have been smoother with better responsiveness.

Knowledgeable but Needs Improvement

Jon Jacobs handled my product liability case with a solid understanding of the law, evident from his extensive experience and recognition in personal injury litigation. He secured a favorable settlement, but I found his communication somewhat inconsistent—sometimes prompt, other times delayed. While his expertise is clear, the wait times between updates left me feeling a bit in the dark. For someone with his accolades, I expected a more proactive approach. Overall, a competent lawyer, but I’d recommend managing expectations on communication.

Experienced but Unresponsive

I hired Jon S. Jacobs for a product liability case, and while I appreciated his extensive experience—22 years is impressive, especially with his recognition as a Best Lawyer in Personal Injury—my experience was mixed. He knew his way around the legal process, and his background from Saint Louis University gave me confidence in his expertise. The case was handled professionally, but communication was a recurring issue. Emails and calls took days to get a response, which added unnecessary stress. While the outcome was fair, I expected more proactive updates given his reputation. For someone with his awards and accolades, I hoped for better attention to client communication. The legal work was solid, but the experience felt transactional rather than partner-based. I’d recommend him for his expertise but with caution regarding responsiveness.
