01Attorney testimonial

I have practiced law for 28 years in both Kentucky and WV—and spend most of my time as a lawyer litigating cases. I have in my career retained a lot of experts—but Dr. Dave Jacobs with Inclusive Education Consultants is one of the very best. From start to finish he was invested in researching and providing insight and expert opinions to provide much needed help for the 5 children I represented. He responded almost immediately to any questions I had and went above and beyond in providing helpful information for our case. To say I highly recommend him would be an understatement. He traveled to KY to meet with each of my clients and his expert report was detailed and exceeded my expectations. His character and dedication to children is unmatched. He is excellent in every way.

Dr. Dave Jacobs was truly exceptional to work with from start to finish. He is the consummate professional in every sense. He is intelligent, thorough, measured, and deeply respected in his field. Throughout the entire process, he demonstrated an extraordinary level of commitment, preparation, and integrity. What stood out most was his constant accessibility and his highly strategic and collaborative approach. He consistently made himself available to answer questions, explain complex issues clearly, and provide thoughtful guidance every step of the way. His ability to work seamlessly with counsel and remain focused on the larger strategy brought tremendous clarity and confidence to an otherwise challenging process. In court, even through rigorous cross-examination, Dr. Jacobs’ professionalism, credibility, and experience truly shone through. He remained calm, composed, and precise under pressure. His testimony was clear, grounded, and authoritative, and it was evident to everyone in the courtroom that he was a highly seasoned expert. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Jacobs’ dedication, expertise, and professionalism. He exceeded every expectation, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of a top-tier expert who combines intelligence, strategy, and integrity at the highest level.
