Oh, Alodia thinks he's an asshole and doesn't trust him at all, but she does some mean protection wards, so they could possibly know each other that way?

Jacob also thinks he's an asshole, buuuuuuuut he's a freelance PI and can't exactly not take jobs because he doesn't like the client, so if Neal needs someone to dig up dirt on prosecution witnesses or w/e, maybe he hires Jacob?
