When we found ourselves on a road we had not traveled before, we were at a loss as to what to do. Having never had legal issues in the past, especially one of this magnitude, I contacted a friend of mine, an attorney in another state. I explained the situation to him, and he, without hesitation, gave me Carissa Jakobe’s name. We called Miss Jakobe the next day, and the day after that, we were all seated in her office. Carissa explained the situation, and what our options were, and what she could do to help us. In speaking with Carissa, it was clear to all of us that she had a passion for what she does. Helping people was not just her job, it was her life. She made us so comfortable with the situation, and what would happen, that we hired her on the spot. The next 11 months would prove to be some of the most challenging days we had ever encountered. Carissa was always available, whether it be via phone, or text message, or email. She always had time to communicate, listen to, and support not only our daughter, but us as well. Carissa always answered her phone and her messages, she never once turned us over to a member of her staff. Carissa Jakobe and her team are some of the most professional individuals I have ever met. She is forthcoming and to the point, even if you don’t want to hear what she has to say, she tells it like it is. Carissa is one of the “good guys“. Our daughter’s case ended up more favorably than we could have hoped for. Now that this nightmare is behind us, I can say that if you ever find yourself on a road that you never expected to be on, and if you need the help of a defense attorney, put your mind at ease, and call Carissa Jakobe.

Carissa was referred to me when I got myself into trouble with a dui, a restraining order, and an assault charge. The restraining order and the assault charge were completely unnecessary and I wanted to fight them. I reached out to at least 5 different attorneys and I was not happy or comfortable with any of them. After weeks of searching I was able to talk with Carissa. I instantly knew she was the right attorney for me. To make a long story short she immediately started working as hard as she could on my case. I knew I was gonna have consequences in the end no matter what but Carissa worked her hardest and as a result, got me the least amount of jail time, the restraining order removed, and the assault charge removed. She was even ready to go to trial for it because the charges were not justified. She made me feel like she had my back throughout the whole case and a lot less stressed. She has been a friend to me the whole time and I knew she really cared about my case and me as a person. I tell everyone I wouldn’t have wanted any other lawyer than Carissa. She will always be my recommendation for anyone that needs the best criminal defense attorney.

I was involved in a very unusual and potentially a high profile criminal case. Every attorney I had contacted was quick to take my money with no results. Each attorney filled my head with the typical “We will fix this for a price” speech. Over the corse of a year, I fired 8 lawyers. After expressing to a friend my concerns with finding a responsible, reasonable and aggressive lawyer, he recommended I contact Lawyer Carissa Jakobe. I agreed to meet with Mrs. Jakobe before she would take my case. We discussed my case facts, then my expectations. She explained to me my options, at which point I agreed to retain her. I can honestly say, Mrs Jakobe saved my family, my children, my career and my peace of mind. Through out even the most difficult of times, Mrs Jakobe stood by my side and won the case. Mrs. Jakobe is a very hard working determined to win Lawyer. She is, and will be the ONLY Lawyer I will ever hire should any situation ever arise again. I highly recommend Lawyer Carissa Jakobes if your looking for a Honest, Professional Courtroom Fighter to protect you! Christina

About 2 years ago now, I received the shock of a lifetime when my company did annual background checks. It appeared that I had a charge out of Arizona that I had no clue about, I had already been living in Colorado since 2017 and everything was fine I had nothing pull up on my background check when I got my job and I never had an issue… That I know of. As you can imagine I was absolutely distraught! The very first thing I did was get on the phone with one of my good friends and she had referred me to Carissa. Carissa helped me all the way through the process she helped call me down at those moments when I was just extremely stressed out and she was able to get the charge dismissed. I would highly recommend her services to anybody who happens to be in a situation where you really just don’t know what to do. I know that if I ever need anybody again I will be calling Carissa!!!!!

I found myself in a position that I needed a serious legal defense.. I interviewed numerous lawyers, who all said they could help.. It just seemed like a huge sales pitch, until I interviewed Carissa Jakobe. She had the “go get em” attitude I was looking for..Not only did she keep me in the loop with what was happening in my case. She also explained all the legal terms so I could understand them. With my priors I was facing serious prison time. The thought of probation seemed non existent. Carissa didn’t back down when the prosecutors threw horrible pleas my way.. She stayed in the ring throwing punches for me until the case was dismissed... yes!! I said it.. Case Dismissed!! I’m a free man ,and get to spend time with my family for Christmas this year because of her.. I would recommend anyone needing a strong criminal defense to hire Carissa Jakobe. She will give you 110%

I was a minor and pinal county waited until I wasn’t to charge me with 3 felony counts. They were very stern on the felonies for a long time. My entire case was so twisted and Carissa was generous enough to take me in and help me. she fought for my rights and for my freedom so much, and was able to get 2 felonies dismissed and the last to a misdemeanor. Carissa is not only an incredible attorney she is an incredible person who genuinely CARES for her clients. It shows. She shows great strength within her work and takes much pride in her work. Absolutely terrified what would happen to me at such a young age, Carissa managed to get me exactly where I needed to be. I am very VERY grateful to have her as my attorney. I recommend her to absolutely anyone . She is powerful, she is loving, and she is a great example of a woman.

Ms. Jakobe is hands down the best defense attorney I have ever worked with. Recommended by a friend, Ms. Jakobe took our case without hesitation even with the uphill battle she knew was in-front of her. Her compassion and drive never wavered throughout our entire case. She took personal interest in every facet from personal information about us to insuring our mitigation factors left nothing out. She worked incredibly hard and the outcome was better than we could have ever imagined. We are forever grateful for everything she has done. Literally, if you want a bad ass bitch on your side, she's the one to hire! She's brilliant and knows AZ law inside and out, leaving nothing unsaid or unexplained.

I have never met an attorney with such passion, and drive to champion her clients cause. For those of us how felt completely lost and alone with the weight of the world on your shoulders, along with all the important questions that need to be answered: What are my rights? What direction should I take? etc... This amazing person will walk with you, guide you, and protect you and your loved ones with every ounce of energy and fight she has in her. Ms. Jakobe is a successful, agressive attorney that gets the job done. There is no mistake where she is coming from! Dont go any further, Don't leave this page without making the best decision of your life. Call to Ms. Jakobe. You can thank me later!!!

I would suggest you hire her she's the best at what she dose I've been in a bad situation and she helped me out. She worth the money and good at what she dose ive never been in a bad situation like I've been in. And never will again I didn't know what lawyer to get. But I went looking and had a good feeling about her so I went with her and she's the best decision I made. She is worth the money and she has helped me out so much and is a cool person and can turn into a bull dog and mean when you make her. I given her cards out and will stand by her and her firm. She that's good trust me on that. So if your looking for a lawyer you've found one and trust me you won't regret it trust me on that.

Ms. Jacobe was very up front and honest with everything. She is very professional and confident and by far the hardest fighting lawyer I have ever seen and thankfully working for me at the time. Once we hired her she was reachable at any hour. " WHAT LAWYER DOES THAT??" She went far above and beyond my expectations. I'm forever grateful to Carissa Jacobe for all of her hard work that she put in. Also for being honest with me and not filling my head with false hope. Let's not forget the win. I'm still out here to post a review on this great lawyer thanks to her hard work. THANK YOU CARISSA JACOBE. Dont waste your time and money on others when you are looking at the best here

I have received nothing but the best service and advise from Mendoza Jakobe Law. Carissa Jakobe truly takes interest and cares for her clients she did not make me feel like another number to her but more like family. I have worked with her on several matters and each one of these cases she not only won for me but always updated me with what was going on a daily basis. She always took the time to work with my schedule and is always available to advise and guide me after my cases. I've worked with other lawyers but Carissa is by far the best that I know. She fought for me in court as hard as she could and not only won my cases but also got more justice than expected.

The legal system took me for a loop and drummed up some over inflated charges that had me looking at jail times and heavy fines. needless to say I thought my life was shattered and everything I had worked so hard for was gone. I honestly would say that with in the first 25 minutes of meeting and talking with Miss Jakobe I felt at ease and a huge weight was lifted off of my trembling shoulders. I had 24/7 contact if needed via cell phone and she had people in her group of experts that where top notch in their field of practice that where readily available. I was back to work and living my life normal again in under 2 weeks, just amazing work thank you again !!!!!

I had Ms. Jakobe as my attorney for a serious criminal matter and not only is she an amazing attorney with in-depth knowledge of law but she is also an absolute fierce Pitbull when it comes to her clients. She works at all hours and works through every hurdle to ensure her clients are always given A+ service from her but also makes the system continue to treat you like a human being and person; not just another number or case. She always went above and beyond the call of duty to not only work in my best interest but to include and inform my family as well without breaching any criminal codes. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her for any criminal matter!

Do not hire! Carissa was very unprofessional. Even my judge told her so. She got so mad at me for the judge embarrassing her she started screaming in the hall at me. I made a report with security, she got crazy. She over charged me and had me sell my car to pay her knowing I was a single mother. She will make a deal with prosecutors that she claims she knows well. Well what you get are awful probation terms. I sold pot cookies. My outcome with her was awful. I had fired her in front of the judge and she never gave me a refund of my money over 5 grand.... Its been years I am still scared from my outcome with her and have nightmares.

Carissa is the best attorney period! If you find yourself or a family member in need of an attorney save yourself a lot of stress and headaches and call her immediately! From the moment I called her she put me at ease. I hired her for a family member and words cannot express how grateful I am to her. She is extremely responsive. Every time I called I found comfort knowing I was speaking directly with her not a paralegal, legal assistant, receptionist etc. You can tell she cares and it shows in her results. She exceeded my expectations she is just brilliant and amazing.

These folks are the best I've ever seen at what they do - professional, tenacious, intelligent, connected, honest, reputable and probably most importantly they actually feel invested in your case and they genuinely give a damn. I felt incredibly well represented which hasn't always been the case in the past. Carissa went so far above and beyond what she needed to it blows my mind to this day when I think about it. If you have a legal issue the best advice I can give is to contact these two and let them do their thing. 10/10 stars if that's even possible.

Was pulled over on the 51 on st pattys day for speeding. A hot headed cop pulled me out of my sport’s car and hand cuffed me. They got me for criminal speeding which is a misdemeanor. Went with Carissa who took care of it start to finish. She got me to just a normal speeding ticket. We could had took it to trial if we wanted to. She’s the best in Phoenix and is aggressive and just a straight up boss. Isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. She’s confident and will take care of business. I recommend her for anything criminal..

Carissa represented me in a difficult domestic dispute where I was the victim. She made sure the prosecutor stopped bullying and threatening me, and she also protected my rights so that I did not have to testify. Carissa is not afraid of the state, nor does she mess around.. She does what she says and gets it done. She made me feel safe through out the whole trial, kept me immediately informed with everything that went on and was very professional from beginning to the end. I highly recommend her

Carissa helped my girlfriend through a lot as a first time offender, she was very reassuring and helpful throughout the whole experience. Very committed and determined. always replied super fast and explained things in extreme detail so that her client could fully understand what was going on and what was going to happen and the possibilities of what could happen. She treated my girlfriend as a person, not just a dollar sign. Carissa is most definitely the lawyer you want. Carissa is jakobe law.

Not sure is there is a cap on words but WOW Carissa Jakobe is the best!! From day 1 when she first picked up the phone and through the whole process she has been nothing short of amazing. From her taking the time to listen, answering questions, putting together a plan and executing it to a T, hands down the best lawyer! If you are ever in the need for a lawyer you can trust in her and her professionalism and care for her clients!! Thank you so much Carissa Jakobe!!!

I could not have chosen a better attorney, I knew from our first meeting that I wanted and needed her to represent me. Carissa is the best- very hard working, always available to speak to and will continue to fight for you and will not settle. She was always easy to get a hold of and I always felt confident she was doing what’s best for me. Would recommend her to anyone needing representation in the Phoenix, AZ area. She won’t let you down I can promise you that!

I’ve been in trouble on and off for the better part of 6 years. Carissa has always stuck by me and fought to obtain the best possible outcome! She has always communicated with me and kept me informed no matter how worried I was. She is aggressive, knowledgeable and highly-skilled. I’ve recommended her to many friends, all of which were very happy with her work. Hands down, Carissa is definitely one of the best criminal defense attorneys is the state!

I recently got myself into a situation that required legal attention. Ms. Jakobe not only paid direct attention to me but put my best interest first, and my repercussions were unbelievably minimal. With such tremendous results, I hired her again for a far different case to which I got optimal results AGAIN. She is kindly fierce and I could not have picked a better route to go than with Ms. Jakobe.

Never experienced an attorney such as Carissa. Extremely thorough and forthcoming as well as dignified in her methods and how she practices and treats her clients. While she was ultimately not whom represented me, she gave me a great referral and that is something most Attorney’s won’t do. Five star attorney and remarkable attorney. If you need the one that will go the distance, she’s your gal!

Carissa did her homework! We were so stressed and did not know what to do. She followed through with her plan and got the results and closure to everything she said she would. We never had a problem getting ahold of her and she always had an answer to our questions. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that is facing criminal charges. Thank you Carissa for putting our family back together!

Carissa is by far the best criminal lawyer that you could ever ask for. She went far above and beyond where she told us she would go. She told us exactly what to expect and everything she said would happen, happened exactly like she said it would. When it comes to high profile cases this is the one that you want on your side. Thank you Carissa for everything that you have done.

Ms. Jakobe is an amazing attorney! I hired her and she fought day and night for me, literally. My life would have been over for 17 years, but thanks to her determination, perseverance, compassion, morals, and ethics, my life will begin to flourish again soon. Thank you Carissa for all your hard work, patience, and compassion for me. You are amazing and I will never forget you.

Carissa is passionate about what she does, and her work ethic shows it!

Without hesitation, I would refer anyone I know to Mendoza/Jakobe Law because I am confident that they could not receive better representation.

This is the best Lawyer ive ever dealt with! Carrisa took the time to explain every little detail of our case, and was up front on the odds of winning and or losing.
