OUR FIRM
Elite. Experienced. Results-oriented.
Seasoned advocacy. Sound judgment. Strategic problem solving.
Founded by award-winning former federal prosecutors, Jacobs & Wells LLP is a boutique litigation firm specializing in high-stakes federal matters. We represent clients in federal criminal matters, internal and government investigations, and complex civil litigation. We work tirelessly to protect and advance our clients’ interests.
-
Our clients include companies and individuals in every stage of criminal and regulatory proceedings—from investigation through trial and appeal—as well as in complex civil disputes. We also serve as local and pool counsel for national firms in criminal and civil matters.
Our approach rests on sound judgment, client-focused representation, and rigorous trial readiness. As prosecutors, we investigated and prosecuted complex matters ranging from financial fraud and money laundering to cyber intrusions and national security cases. For clients facing potential criminal exposure or regulatory scrutiny, we offer steady, experience-based advice. Having built and won cases of national significance, we understand how federal authorities investigate and charge criminal cases—and how to effectively defend against them.
We apply the same strategic focus and trial preparedness to civil matters, handling litigation that demands both legal precision and pragmatic solutions.
