BEWARE!!!

I retained Ms. Jacob for her expertise in mold related problems, only to find out she had no knowledge in this matter. She lied about filing documents with Court and couldn't give accounting of monies paid to her. She damaged my case so bad, that she was suspended 18 months by Bar Association and Wash. State Supreme Court. Do not waste your time or money. Ms. Jacob is not worth either. She does not care for the client

Worst Lawyer.

We hired Jany for a family based petition and was the worst decision ever. She has lack of attention to detail and very very rude. She doesnt communicate at all and wasted our precious time. She kept on lieing about our case and always misled us. She has absolutely no knowledge of law and is a complete waste of time and money.

Terrible Lawyer! Unprofessional, unresponsive, and irresponsible

Jany Jacob is a terrible attorney. Do not retain her as a lawyer! I worked with her to settle a Real Estate dispute for over a year, which remained unsettled. I ultimately had to fire her and start my case all over with a new attorney, which was of great loss to me in terms of time and expense. Overcharged for very basic actions. Unresponsive over phone and email. Comprehensive and detailed billing was unheard of over the course of 12 months. Filed motions that were not needed due to her own sloppy lack of attention to detail to my case. As a former client, I can say first hand that her service was deplorable!

One of the worst lawyers ever.

Shes one of the worst lawyers ever. Please do not go with her. She handled our case and did not even get in touch with us about the proceedings. Shes very very arrogant and not at all informed about immigration laws. Be very careful do not go with her. She has messed up our life and still struggling/.
