Jacob is a transplant from Southern California but fell in love with the Pacific Northwest when he moved to Spokane to attend the Gonzaga University School of Law. Jacob originally planned on practicing criminal law, but his experience at Maxey Law Office as a Rule 9 Intern exposed him to the practice of family law. After graduating from Gonzaga University School of Law in 2018, Jacob first started practicing at Robert Cossey & Associates. Practicing at Robert Cossey & Associates allowed Jacob to further hone his skills in family law while also allowing him to see the positive impact a good family law attorney can have on a family or individual going through the stress of family law litigation. While at Robert Cossey & Associates, Jacob also had the opportunity to work with Mark Hodgson, a practitioner whose case load consisted of approximately 95% of family law cases. Slowly but surely, Jacob’s interests in criminal law waned as he saw the long-lasting benefits he could offer litigants in family law matters as more substantial than the benefits he could offer any defendants in criminal law matters. Jacob made his way to some downtown firms, including Crouse Erickson and Winston Cashatt, Lawyers, but ultimately preferred the level of involvement and focus on each case afforded by working in a smaller firm. Jacob has now come full circle and is proud to say he works as a full-time family law associate attorney with MDH Law, P.S. In this position, Jacob can offer the skills in family law litigation he has honed by working at some of the top family law firms in Spokane, while utilizing the atmosphere of a smaller firm to give each client the attention their case deserves. Jacob looks forward to assisting you in your family law litigation in the way that best works for your case and your desired outcome.
