Superior

Attorneys are labeled as verbose, but Jeanne is able to cut to the chase to save you time and money. The cost fades in light of the value of all that she accomplished in my divorce. I had a spouse who wanted to create drama throughout the process; at one point of frustration I was told, “And don’t... talk to your bulldog lawyer!” The team is seasoned and devoted in its roles and provide a consistent, calm and thorough process. My case was complicated, which included mediation and a consult with another attorney out of state. Jeanne is respected by colleagues in her field. Selling our home was necessary; the judge complimented her idea to use the proceeds for the sale to front load the amount of maintenance. If you can handle honesty about your case and are willing to do your part in the process, I highly recommend Jeanne!

If you didn't like her, you must not have listened to her!!!

So let me tell you something about my experience with Jeanne, and her staff. First off, I found them online, never even met her in person, as I am living in Washington. I didn't know what to expect, never been through a divorce. She let me know right up front, the worst case scenario, which I appreci...ated. She was always trying to get me to stop wasting my money, calling her, worrying about things I couldn't control. She was very thorough, and direct. The day that I met her in person, was the day of my final divorce hearing. I was expecting the worse, and hoping for the best. The way she takes control of the court room, AMAZING!!!!!! I actually felt bad for my ex wife having to be cross examined by Jeanne. If you want someone, who will tell you how it is, and will fight for you, JEANNE should be YOUR TOP CHOICE.....She went above and beyond, and was VERY successful regarding the outcome of the case. Thank you so very much Jeanne!!!! Sean

Military Divorce beware!

Avoid this person who is an uncaring attorney, and this is from my personal experience. I spent approximately 7,OOO dollars for NOTHING!!! Had to hire another attorney who was a professional, knowledgeable and empathetic attorney regarding a military divorce. Lesson learned!

Beware!

Beware of slick website, free consultation. I hired this attorney. After spending 7k with dismal results, Told me it was MY fault. I asked how it was my fault and she said it was because I didn't tell her what to do and my ex's attorney is horrible, lies all the time and something involving several... f-bombs. I was shocked. The last straw was I walked into the building to go upstairs to her office area and heard her yelling and cursing at her employees. I listened from downstairs and she was brutal, demeaning, and totally unprofessional. A person came down the stairs and I whispered "does this happen a lot?", they rolled their eyes and said, "A LOT! I don't know why anyone stays." I went back to my car and called her office to say I couldn't afford any more. I wasn't surprised when a number of attorneys wouldn't take my case because Ms. Wilson had already represented me; my ex told me she had several attorneys refuse to represent her because Ms. Wilson was the other attorney. The fact NO other attorney has endorsed her tells you all you need to know.

Very Bad Experience

I was referred to Jeanne Wilson, and it turned out to be a huge expensive mistake. She did not keep me informed, she did not give me documents that I needed to be informed of. She gave me very bad advice, and fortunately I realized in time. I have since become aware that she mishandled at least on...e other case.
