Lisa Jacobs is a Lead Attorney with The Property Advocates and has served the people of South Florida for over 20 years. During this time, she has successfully negotiated the resolution of thousands of cases, tried hundreds of cases to verdict, trained dozens of attorneys and counseled each of clients with patience and individualized attention.
Ms. Jacobs started her legal career at the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office where she quickly moved up through the ranks to become a Felony Division Chief with an extensive Homicide caseload.

Upon leaving the State Attorney’s Office, Ms. Jacobs opened her own solo practice where she handled Family Law cases as well as court-appointed criminal defendants. She also aligned her herself with a firm shortly after Hurricane Irma to assist that firm in in handling its huge influx of property claims, and set up their Early Resolution Unit, settling hundreds of cases within an 18-month period.
