Jacob Laws misrepresented the interior design work that he did to my house. Though he did some of the design for a few rooms in my house, he did not design the kitchen, dining room, or any bathrooms, aside from some minor accents in some of those rooms. In fact, the house was completely renovated and much of it was redesigned months before I hired Jacob and his firm. He has gone on record on print, video, and on the internet claiming that he designed the entire house, which is just completely false. My house was featured in St. Louis Magazine, and the entire article is filled with blatant lies from Jacob Laws. Stefane Russell has the entire interview with him tape-recorded. \r

He accepted two awards for the design of my house, one of which is legitimate. He also accepted a 2nd place award for House of the Year. He entered pics and tried to win awards for work for rooms in which he did little to NO work.\r

I have asked him repeatedly to stop claiming credit for work he did not do, and his only response has been to ignore my requests and block me on Facebook (so that I could not see the pictures of my house he was posting and passing off as his work). As he refuses to be honest and forthcoming about the work he did, or did not, perform on my home, I feel it's my responsibility to inform as many people as I can about his unethical behavior and misrepresentation.\r

Edit: On top of that, I had a furniture expert come over to tell me how much my furniture was worth. . He said he's never seen a bigger scam in his life. Jacob WAY overcharged me for everything. Every piece that I was able to find online was at least 30% cheaper online. He charged me a flat fee for his services and even had the nerve to tell me that I got my things CHEAPER through his vendors and that I saved money. I asked him to see receipts, but of course he didnt have them. This was ROBBERY. Do not trust these people. They also removed my review on http://Houzz.com, imagine that. I'm VERY suspicious of some of the glowing reviews on there. Read my previous review below for even more dirt. I have never had a worse experience with a business.\r
