Biography
Lawyer Jacob P. Welch, now serving as "of counsel", is the creator of Welch, Donlon & Czarples, PLLC. Born in 1953, he grew up in Corning, New York, within a family of legal professionals. His father, Vincent J. Welch, and his uncle, Jacob G. Welch, established a law practice in Corning shortly after World War II. The Welch lawyers have built a reputation for delivering reliable legal services to the local community for over fifty years.Beginning his legal career in 1980, Mr. Welch has dedicated his practice to trial work. Demonstrating consistent and outstanding legal abilities, he has received a rating of “high to very high” from his peers in Martindale-Hubbell, a well-known publication that assesses lawyers and their rankings.In his thirty-plus years as a personal injury lawyer, Mr. Welch has earned the respect of numerous insurance adjusters and defense attorneys. This respect is often crucial in achieving optimal settlements for clients. While settlement is typically preferred over trial, in cases where trial becomes necessary, Mr. Welch is a well-prepared and experienced advocate who will vigorously defend your rights.Showcasing his competitive nature, Mr. Welch returned to hurdling (a sport he participated in during high school and college) and secured the Gold Medal in the NYS Empire Games for his age group in 2004, 2005, and 2006. In 2007, he competed in the State Games of America, a national event, where he once again emerged victorious, claiming the gold medal.Mr. Welch embraces a work hard/play hard philosophy towards life. He is not only a devoted father and family man but also finds fulfillment in personal interactions, serving on charitable boards, enjoying moments of laughter, and engaging in local hunting and fishing activities.After years of dedicated service to his clients, Mr. Welch continues to contribute to the firm in an "of counsel" capacity.
