Jacob Vela

Friendly, responsive, and helpful Jacob was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a lot of anxiety trying to read through a work contract I received from a game studio, and Jacob helped alleviate those anxieties. He was upfront about his costs and figuring out what services he could provide that aligned with my budget. He read through the contract and provided detailed notes on which terms were common and expected, and which terms were worth raising an eyebrow or two. I now feel informed and empowered to work things out with the studio in a way that leaves both parties happy. I would happily work with Jacob again and heartily recommend him to game developers and other creatives in need of similar legal support. View More

A Lawyer that Understands Creatives I would highly recommend Jacob for anyone pursuing indie game development that needs a legal consultant. He is incredibly professional and helped me navigate my situation with confidence. He was very helpful every step of the way, from understanding my needs in the beginning, providing clear advice for navigating my situation, and even followed up after. As an indie dev, I really appreciated his cost transparency and willingness to work with indie budgets. Game development is already challenging enough, so having found Jacob and knowing that he understands the unique challenges in the game industry means I don't have to worry about the potential legal hurdles down the road and can focus more on game development.
