At Flitter Milz, P.C., based in Narberth, Pennsylvania, attorney Jody T. López-Jacobs has built a practice centered on three critical areas of consumer protection law: solar company fraud, auto repossession disputes and credit reporting violations. Through this focused advocacy, he has become a formidable voice for individuals whose financial and legal rights have been compromised by predatory practices.
Mr. López-Jacobs' commitment to justice traces back to his upbringing in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he was raised in a family that placed great value on social and economic equity. That early foundation shaped his career trajectory, ultimately drawing him to consumer advocacy work at Flitter Milz, where his efforts have secured hundreds of millions of dollars in relief for wronged consumers.
Before entering private practice, Mr. López-Jacobs honed his legal acumen as a clerk for a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. His academic credentials are equally distinguished: he earned his J.D. magna cum laude from Temple University Beasley School of Law, where he was inducted into the Order of the Coif, served as a research editor for the Temple Law Review, and was named a Beasley Scholarship recipient. Prior to law school, he earned a B.A. in sociology from Millersville University, graduating on the dean's list.
Mr. López-Jacobs’ leadership extends beyond the courtroom. He currently serves as Pennsylvania co-chair of the National Association of Consumer Advocates and is active within the Pennsylvania Bar Association, including an appointment to the Council of the Business Law Section. His contributions earned him the Equal Justice Award from Community Legal Services of Philadelphia in 2022.
A prolific legal writer and speaker, Mr. López-Jacobs has published on topics ranging from storytelling in legal advocacy to constitutional law and most recently presented on emerging consumer finance fraud trends at the 2026 National Consumer Law Center and NACA Spring Training in Minneapolis.
