Hired Law firm 2023-2024I had the pleasure of working with Jake during a challenging time, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he was dedicated to my case and genuinely cared about my situation. His communication skills were outstanding; he kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I understood the legal process. What impressed me the most was his honesty. He never gave me false hope, but instead provided realistic expectations while fiercely advocating for my interests. In the courtroom, mr. Pillsbury stood up for my name with confidence and professionalism, which made a significant difference in my case. I truly appreciate his unwavering support and commitment to my defense. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you and provide clear, honest guidance, look no further than Jake Thank you for everything!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
