Marc Jacob, Esq

Marc was great. He helped me with a commercial lease that could of been a zoning nightmare! The best guy to have looking out for you.

Marc did a great job helping us with a very complicated home purchase situation, without his persistence and vast knowledge our home purchase simply would not have happened.
I would HIGHLY recommend Marc to anyone looking for help with a simple real estate transaction to anyone experiencing a very difficult one.
We will always be grateful Marc!

We contacted Mr. Jacob to help us buy a lot in a residential development after first trying to do so on our own, unsuccessfully. The lot was one in a group that was bank-​owned (after the original developer folded), had changed hands several times already, and was still changing hands as big bank fish gobbled up smaller ones, and as the properties were being sold and re-​sold to different investors.
We had never dealt with a lawyer before, and were pretty clueless. Mr. Jacob explained to us how it all worked. We agreed to hire him, put down a reasonable retainer, and he got to work. He used his contacts and resources to fill in the information gaps on the lots, and also to put us in contact with the current owner, who turned out to be uninterested in selling to us since they were already in the process of selling as a bundle to a real estate holding company.
Mr. Jacob offered to either refund the remainder of the retainer (almost all of it, actually), or let things play out and try again. We opted for the latter, eventually engaging the new owner (once their purchase was complete). Mr. Jacob helped us negotiate a deal that exceeded what we originally hoped for. Throughout all of this, he was very responsive and kept us appraised of the latest developments with weekly status updates, also keeping fantastic records on his time spent and our retainer balance. I was impressed at how efficient he was with his time and how little he charged against the retainer.
Late in the process, the county released information that the entire neighborhood was being re-​classified by FEMA to be in a 100 year flood plain. We immediately wanted to back out. But Mr. Jacob informed us that our agreement to buy the lot could be held as legally binding even though it was only by email. He explained all of our risks and options, and did some research to find us our strongest angles/​arguments. He also probed for some information and got the seller to reveal that they were in possession of that information (had been in discussions with the county about it) weeks before the county posted it all (including prelim maps) publicly. Ultimately, he helped us navigate our way out of the deal without getting sued for breach of contract.
Highly recommended, this guy is a definite pro.
