Attorney Information
Overview
Jacob is a seasoned litigator who represents plaintiffs and defendants of all sizes, from sole proprietors to Fortune 500 companies, in complex commercial litigation matters before state and federal courts, and in high-risk, bet-the-company situations.
Jacob has significant experience resolving issues affecting manufacturers, service providers, and financial institutions, including unfair competition and antitrust, products liability, warranty claims, supply-chain relationships and management, and dealer/distributor/sales representative relationships.
Prior to becoming a founding partner at Greenstein Sellers, Jacob spent twelve years in large corporate law firms where he developed and perfected his legal skills. Since joining, he has focused on turning out "big firm work product," but without all the "bells and whistles" and price tag.
For many of his clients Jacob serves as outside general counsel. In that capacity, Jacob serves, not just as lawyer, but as strategic advisor, as well. Jacob's clients rely on him for the kind of unfiltered advice they might not otherwise get, even from their own management. He regularly counsels CEOs and boards of directors on a wide variety of business matters, helping them to see their businesses "from 50,000 feet up."

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.
