Jacobsma & Brau
Providing immigrants with immigration law and criminal defense representation is our focus. Our knowledge in these matters runs deep, as does our reputation for results. Whether you need help fighting deportation, applying for adjustment of status or a visa, obtaining citizenship or defending against criminal charges that jeopardize your immigration status, you want an advocate who is passionate and experienced in protecting your rights.

At Robert F. Jacobs & Associates, PLC, we are always looking ahead with immigration law and criminal defense. We do not simply prepare for the first step in the process. And we have actual experience taking cases to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and had them successfully reversed or reopened and sent back to the lower court.
Services
Robert F. Jacobs & Associates, PLC, is one of the few law offices serving the Los Angeles area that handles both immigration law and criminal defense. Our lawyers are committed to helping immigrants address all immigration and criminal issues. These are not services we dabble in or do on the side. These are the cases we handle day in and day out.
Robert F. Jacobs has dedicated the last 22 years of his life, since 1998, to primarily immigrants and their families obtain immigration status in the United States or protect them from deportation. He believes for most of the clients before him, saving an immigrant family member from deportation not only benefits that person and their family, friends and employer, but also society in general.
Attorney Jay Chung has over 11 years of legal experience in immigration and criminal post-conviction relief and criminal defense with the law firms of Jacobs & Vega, PLC and Robert F. Jacobs & Associates, PLC. Mr. Chung has also mentored other attorneys in the office. He has degrees from the prestigious University of California at Berkley and Southwestern Law School.
Immigration law can seem like a never-ending series of obstacles. As soon as you overcome one, another pops up. To make matters even more challenging, laws are constantly evolving, creating confusion and causing problems for those who simply want to comply. The good news is you do not have to navigate the process on your own.
If you have been threatened with removal, it is important that you get in touch with a lawyer who understands the various options available to keep you in the United States. Do not lose hope. You may be surprised at the number of options available to you, but you must act quickly and choose an advocate who is experienced in deportation defense.

Mr Jacobs and his entire team were professional all the way. Timely correspondence, great follow up, excellent and steady advice they really put me at ease. If you want someone who really reviews the cases, gives you a realistic picture, allow proper understanding of the ever changing laws then this is the law form for you.
I am very happy to give referrals for this law firm. Thank you again for all help. I am very appreciative.

Actually super informative and honest. I booked a consultation as a favor to one of my relatives and helped translate throughout, since I have experience with previous paralegal/interpreter work I know that some lawyers can be very scammy and just take your money, however that is not the case here, Mr.Jacobs is super honest, he truthfully told my relative not much you can do now and to just hold on to fillings until a later time. I really appreciate the honesty and integrity in this firm, I'd be happy to book them again for a later date if the situation changes :) thanks!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Immigration Lawyer!
Robert Jacobs is a great guy and goes out to his way to listen, understand and build a trusting relationship with his clients. I am not going to go into much detail, but he did the impossible! Saved my mother from deportation and our family is forever thankful.

He has great reports with his colleagues and is up to date with laws. Every circumstance is different. He is straight forward, good or bad. It's not promised, but he will go the extra mile!

Jacobs did the job when others just dragged our case along. He ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for. But do keep on top of his paralegals. They need the motivation. Like any legal issue, stay involved in your case. Double check paperwork and follow up often. Good luck!

This Attorney is nothing but a failure. Don't hire him, unless you want to get a denial. Walk away from this scam.I paid him to prepare us and go with us to the interview and he claimed that he is booked .Of course we got denied, and this denial is nothing but Attorney failure.

Be careful don't use his services!!!!
Because of him and his team mistakes ( putting birth day wrong, copying wrong information, not checking if file have all the information) and a lot more over 2 years were going back and forward just to find out he was the one who risk the all file....

He's honestly the one of the best lawyers out there that cares for his clients and immigration status he has help my most of my mom side of the family get their residency and citizenship. Defiantly do some research on your own so you have a clearer view on what options you may have so you'll be ready for when you have your appointment.
