Jacob Padillo is growing his practice in commercial and tort defense litigation. He brings high energy and dedication to his cases and has strong experience in various practice areas. 

He has spent time advising clients in civil matters, as well as toxic tort and product liability cases. Working closely with clients has given him great insight into their needs. He has drafted motions, memoranda, affidavits and client letters, as well assisted attorneys in trial preparation. 

Jacob has consistently shown leadership and a willingness to tackle complex tasks. In law school, he served in the appellate advocacy clinic, where he got to see product liability and tort cases from the plaintiff’s point of view. His work as a research and teaching assistant provided him with excellent communication and analysis skills. 

When Jacob isn’t working a case, he enjoys traveling to see his favorite bands live. He is an avid Star Wars fan, who loves attending fan conferences and collecting memorabilia.
