Attorney Profiles

Jacobsen Johnson & Wiezorek PLC

John D. Jacobsen

From West Branch, IA

After practicing family law for more than 20 years, John has come to understand that there is no such thing as a "typical case." Every case, and every client, comes with unique factors and a singular history. This is why it's so important to understand the law and how it applied to these factors. Cases involving family members and children can be extremely emotional and stressful times, however, with personal attention from an attorney like John you'll be able to make it through the most difficult times. He has been practicing criminal law since 2005, and was honored as one of the youngest members of the CJA panel, an exclusive list of attorneys approved and capable of taking on complex issues within the United States Code and the United States Sentencing Guidelines. Through his advocacy and overall awareness of the court, John has secured the release of several clients who the government recommended be sent to prison.
