What Attorney Clients Can Expect From Jacobs & Dow, LLC Representation
Our law firm offers legal services to the profession, including:
- Local counsel services: If you have never handled a case in Connecticut, particularly in our state courts, let us help you with the intricacies of our procedural rules. We maintain an active local counsel practice in both federal and state matters.
- Bar discipline defense: We defend lawyers accused of violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct before the Grievance Committee and in court. If you want to discuss such a matter, please contact us as soon as the complaint is made and, if at all possible, before filing any written response.
- Lawyers accused of crime: We have served as defense counsel to lawyers accused of crimes in state and federal court. We also counsel lawyers who have or may have criminal exposure, although they have not been charged.
- Conflict referrals: We are available to serve as special litigation counsel to your business clients when you believe you should not act because of an actual or potential conflict of interest. Because we do not normally provide general counsel services to business clients in areas such as corporate law, financing, transactional, compliance, and tax work, you will maintain an ongoing relationship with your client in all areas other than those in which you are conflicted out. Your client will remain yours during and after the time that we perform our work.
- Forwarded matters: We accept forwarded cases and advance costs and expenses in forwarded cases without obligation to you. We pay appropriate forwarding fees in matters where such fees are permitted by law, including personal injury and medical malpractice cases and certain types of business litigation. We are happy to discuss potential future matters with you.
- Consultations: We are pleased to consult with members of the bar who have questions or concerns about their cases. Initial inquiries are always free. Please do not hesitate to call.
