If you are ever in need of a South Carolina divorce lawyer, I highly recommend that you retain the services of Chris Jacob. Why? Chris is polished, poised, and purposeful. These attributes bode well in his approach to your case. I appreciated the way that he kept my expectations about my case at a realistic level at all times. Chris’s paralegals, Jen, Kat, and Jacki, were a pleasure to work with and are paragons of proficiency. Having never gone through a deposition and mediation before, I leaned heavily on Chris’s advice. Watching Chris depose my ex-wife was reminiscent of vintage Perry Mason from the Erle Stanley Gardner novels and the television series. He got her to stipulate to information that would be crucial in determining the outcome during the final mediation. Getting my home in my name only made me very happy and gave me peace of mind. Now I can move on to forge a new chapter in my life. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to Chris and his team.

I found Chris Jacob’s Family Law when I was served with papers to appear in court for an immediate child custody hearing and I only had four days to find a lawyer before this rush hearing. This also happened to be in the middle of a snow storm in Charleston and the entire town was shut down. I frantically was calling literally every law practice in town and Chris Jacob’s was the only one who picked up the phone during this snow storm. Needless to say, I was so relieved that he answered my call and he took the time to listen to my dire situation and he was such a calming presence in what quite possibly was one of the worst days of my life. I was worried that he would deny my case because he only had four days to prepare for the hearing but he was gracious enough to take me on as a client and did it flawlessly. He answered all of my emails concerning my hearing within minutes of my sending them and when we showed up for my hearing, he was PREPARED and made me feel like we had been working on this case for months rather than days. It was truly astounding and I felt at ease that my case was in his very capable hands and I felt like he actually cared about me as a person, not just a client. Since that first hearing, Chris and his wonderful team have guided me through the court process in a way that was professional, honest, thorough, prompt and above all else, compassionately. I am so grateful that Chis picked up the phone on that snowy day and provided me with the best experience I could have hoped for. He’s a phenomenal attorney and an equally remarkable human.
