Jacob focuses his practice on estate planning and business law while also handling litigation matters as the need arises.
Before entering private practice, Jacob clerked for the Honorable Amber Collins-Gebrehiwet of the Marion County Circuit Court. The experience gave him a close look at how courts evaluate arguments and resolve disputes, as well as a healthy respect for clear writing.
Before becoming an attorney, Jacob worked in the trades, in the dirt, and behind counters and steering wheels. His route to the law was not especially direct, but it taught him how to communicate with different kinds of people, solve real-world problems, and give straight answers to questions that are not always so straightforward. Just as importantly, it showed him what it takes to earn a living, support a family, and build a business.
In his spare time, Jacob enjoys reading, trying new recipes, tabletop roleplaying games, horology, and making jokes with unnecessarily narrow audiences.
