Jacobs & Goodman

I contacted Jacobs & Goodman about my case and explained everything in great detail to Glenn Klausman, who seemed very professional and caring in the matter initially.



They sent an ex-law enforcement attorney or representative to my house to speak with me more about my case who certainly did not do a good job selling their service. He seemed very uncaring and overall not interested in my case - Like he was “only looking for a paycheck” - type of experience. At this point I began to feel like I had made the wrong choice in what lawfirm I contacted.



In my specific situation I was ticketed in an auto-accident which I believe was not my fault - after all, the FHP officer was not on the scene when it occurred - and I have two witnesses that corroborate my side of the story (one of which left before the officer arrived to the accident - She still cared enough to approach me after to give me her name and contact information).



Either way, I stuck with it and filled out all of the paperwork while this man was in my house even after it seemed to me that I was nothing but a number to him. They came highly recommended from a friend. At this point it had already been maybe a month since my accident – I’m waiting patiently for surgery – and have no vehicle! What else was I going to do?



Anyway – a couple of weeks pass and I get a letter in the mail from Jacobs & Goodman saying that they received the full report from FHP and that it did not corroborate my side of the story and that they were no longer interested in representing me!! What! Are you kidding me!? – I told them from the beginning that I felt I was wrongfully ticketed in the accident and even the FHP officer involved told me while she was giving me the ticket “Not to pay it, and to take it to court” because after speaking with the witnesses she felt that “it wasn’t enecessarily my fault and I would most likely beat the ticket.” –Her words (Trooper Honeyghon, Alicia).



Now, it’s been nearly 2 months since my accident. I have no car, no means to get anywhere that I need to… I have no health insurance. I’m still waiting to get surgery (Broken Femur). My auto insurance provider (Infinity Insurance) will not return any of my calls (I’ve called more than 10 times, left multiple messages) – And to top it off now I do not have an attorney!! WORST Experience ever!



In summary, I do not recommend Jacobs & Goodman at all period! The last thing I needed in this situation was something else to complicate things – Like having an attorney one day (who seemed to be on my side) and the next day – not.



It’s just ridiculous! I have pictures that corroborate my side of the story with tread marks from the accident that show I was not in the other vehicles lane - I have an FHP officer who told me to take it to court because she “didn’t think it was my fault , but had to give me the ticket because she was not there.” (And witnesses that heard her tell me this) ..And also two witnesses from the accident on my side as well.

Loosing hope fast!
