Law offices of Jacobson&Tchernev is an experienced, high-level professional firm that provided exceptional representation from start to finish. I highly recommend their services.
Mr. Tchernev consistently demonstrated the utmost integrity, both personally and professionally. He fully understood the seriousness of the situation and, moreover, its significance to all parties involved.
I extend my deepest respect and sincere appreciation to Mr. Tchernev for all that he has done for my family. We are truly grateful.
I hired attorney Ivo Tchernev to represent me in an important case. For 15 months, we paid him significant amounts of money while he kept assuring us that everything was going well, without real explanations and without a clear strategy.
After 15 months, he simply sent me a text message saying he was withdrawing from the case because his father had health issues. No meeting. No proper conversation. No plan for how the case would continue. A text message.
When I asked why his partner or the firm could not take over the case, there was no meaningful answer. He simply walked away and left us in an extremely difficult position.
After that, 7 law firms refused to take the case because, according to them, it had been brought almost to a dead end due to the wrong strategy chosen by Ivo Tchernev.
To me, this was a complete failure of professionalism and responsibility. Taking money for 15 months and then abandoning a client by text message is unacceptable.
I do not recommend this law firm. Stay far away.
Attorney Chernev is an exceptional professional with excellent legal expertise and a precise, client-focused approach to every case. He explains all options clearly, responds promptly, and inspires confidence from the very first meeting. His attention to detail, integrity, and strong commitment to protecting his clients’ interests truly stand out. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy, competent, and dedicated attorney.

If only we could give 10 stars we would. It is without hesitation or reservation, we highly recommend Steven Jacobson to others in need of an attorney. You could hardly do better.
At the outset of my injuries, Mr Jacobson provided insightful information about our situation and his encouragement. In the weeks following, he answered every question promptly. His work & extensive experience relieved us of managing insurance companies and billing departments - so much so my husband says he will be eternally grateful. Over these last 12months, Mr Jacobson kept us apprised of the process well as forecasting the timing of each step towards closure.
Thanks, Steven.
I've been going to the guys at JTLaw for a long time now for many of my legal interests. They always have the experience and wisdom to help resolve any issue. Specialists in Personal injury cases. A good number to have on hand in an accident
I had an amazing experience with Jacobson & Tchernev Law Offices, especially with Steven. From day one he was straight to the point, kept me updated, and handled everything with zero stress on my end. He got me my settlement from a car accident in less than 4 months, which is way faster than I ever expected.
Steven really fought for me, explained everything in simple terms, and made the whole process smooth. You can tell he actually cares about his clients. If you need a reliable, honest, and efficient attorney, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Steve did an amazing job with my car accident case. He was very honest, easy to talk to and always kept me updated. He really fought and helped me win the case. I'm so thankful for everything he did and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.
Owner response
Thank you very much Vojo. It was a pleasure working with you!
Attorney Ivo Tchernev was amazing to work with. Being in a car was scary and dealing with all the medical, financial, insurance aspects of it was even scarier. Attorney Ivo took care of it all. He was so patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process so much easier and less stressful. I am beyond thankful for the services. If you are looking for an attorney I would strongly suggest Attorney Ivo. Thank you again!
Straightforward, solid, and professional. Steven handled everything with precision and kept communication clear throughout. No fluff — just results. The kind of attorney you’re glad to have on your side. With LawJT, you win — they lose. I respect that.

This is a true story. I have experience working with both Atty. Tchernev and Atty. Jacobsen on different cases. Both are an examplary of top professionalism, etiquette, consistency, and time management. Mr. Jacobsen handled a car accident litigation with aplomb, not once, but twice. Set the system straight, got all in, and, please note, was set as an example by the presiding judge himself!
Mr. Tchernev started helping on a nasty divorce space some six years ago. Throughout this times not only he surpassed all my expectations, but he continued to fight for every right, every inch, and every dime. What a drive! Not even once he complained about the intricacy and constant complications! He got in touch with additional help in different state, and if I didn't know better, I would say, he took it personal and upon himself. I wanted to quit half way, many times. But Mr. Tchernev reassured me it is worth the fight, not once, not twice.
What a humanity, in this day and age! Trust me when I say this, with Jacobsen and Tchernev it is NOT about the money. It is about YOU, the client.
I will remain grateful until the end of my days. And not just me, but my entire family - my wife, my mother, my brother, and when time comes, my children, as well.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jacobsen and Tchernev!
