Professional, Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

I hired Jane several years ago for a divorce. From the original consult to the final agreement and subsequent modification, Jane was extremely knowledgeable about the law and provided exceptional guidance during the process. I could always count on Jane to be prepared and to return emails and phone... calls. Going through a divorce is extremely stressful, but it was good to know I had someone on my side that was advocating for myself and my daughter.

Thank God for a lawyer that cares about what's right!

Basically, my after-divorce was high-conflict so we were in and out of court for about 3 years. Jane has always been there for the up's and down's of my after-divorce battle regarding my children. Jane has been up against one of the toughest judges and succeded with a great outcome. Jane was alwa...ys there to soothe my fears, worries, prepare me for the trial, listen to me cry due to fear of losing my children. Sometimes, I would even email her with my worries and sure enough there she was to help. When you are going through anything legal and know nothing about the legal system and it's regarding your children you would ant to have Jane in your corner. Jane was always prepared for each and every court date and there have been many. Recently, after the judge ordered the judgement on my case,Jane told me within the same day. Prompt service so that I didn't have to go another day thinking. She is an amazing attorney and a wonderful advocate for children.
