Aufenger received a Peer Review Rating of 4.8 out of a possible 5. This score places him "at the highest level of professional excellence" based on the input of other attorneys, according to the Martindale-Hubbell website.

Jacobs began his reappointment to the Beaches and Waterways Advisory Commission of Virginia Beach on July 1. He will serve on the commission until June 30, 2018.
