Jacob’s best legal tip is that if you think you have an issue or a problem, don’t procrastinate. Often people will wait months or years to create a will, form a proper legal entity for their business, or pursue litigation if they think they have been harmed. Often the passage of time only hurts people and doesn’t help them. So, his advice is if you think you have a legal problem, contact an attorney who will be able to help you navigate a solution.
