Highly recommended

Attorney Manning-Zoll was my counsel with a divorce. What should have been an easy divorce, considering that it was a short term marriage, with no children and a prenuptial agreement upon entering, became very difficult. My then estrange husband, hired his counsel from a big city law firm, with the h...opes that he would be dissolved from any or all responsibility and obligations, listed in the prenuptial agreement. His lawyer was not an easy person to deal with, and Attorney Manning-Zoll handled every situation with class, dignity, and wasn't afraid to stand up for herself, her client, and the law. The big law firm, did not intimidate her, nor would she back down to them. The only difference between both attorneys, is that Attorney Manning-Zoll is not a fee churner. She is ethical, honest and is always looking out for her clients best interest. Both attorneys provided the same services and time to their clients, however my attorney fee was a FIFTH of the amount the other lawyer, who clearly was trying to drag and rack up unnecessary costs in the case, charged my ex husband. Attorney Manning-Zoll reached beyond my expectations, as an attorney. She is aggressive and fights for the underdog. She was my voice when I couldn't speak. Throughout the whole divorce process, I had complete trust and faith with Attorney Manning-Zoll. She is professional and respectful. Her knowledge and hard work, as well as, her integrity, ethics, and moral, are just the few qualities that make her such an exceptional attorney.

Top notch!

Jennifer guided us through the process with professionalism and compassion. She listened well, provided helpful suggestions and answered our many questions thoroughly. I found her to be responsive and knowledgeable. She is not only a top notch professional, but also a person of high integrity.

Excellent service

I have hired Atty Jennifer L. Manning -Zoll to write my will , and I named her the Executor. Her input was very helpful to my situation. I have also consulted with her about poor service by a moving company and her help was superb, I did not have to pay the company. I would hire her again and r...ecommend her without reservation.

Conscientious, sensible and caring

I hired Jennifer over four years ago to initiate divorce proceedings after 35 years of marriage. Jennifer was not only professional but also sensitive to my situation. I was recommended to her by a colleague who works in the legal field with me. We know all too well that in many divorces, the onl...y person who comes ahead is the divorce attorney. Not in Jennifer's case. I went in explaining what I wanted. She tried to convince me on more than one occasion I was entitled to more but respected my wishes. I got accurate monthly statements so I knew how much my legal fees were. I was so satisfied that when one of my children decided to end their short-term marriage, we went right back to Jennifer. She did as excellent a job for my child as she did for me. I even got a refund from the retainer because she didn't spend as much time as she thought would be necessary to complete his paperwork. Now, how many people can say their divorce attorney issued them a refund check?

Posted by anonymous | December 29, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Child custody

Ms Manning Zoll represented me in a child custody case. Opposing counsel and her client where very difficult to deal with and had unrealistic expectations. As a result this matter took longer than expected. During this time Jennifer kept me informed and reassured me that despite the slow process our... case was moving in the right direction. In the end the result was exactly as Jennifer predicted. We prevailed! The lesson I learned was justice is often a slow process but as long as you are reasonable in your expectations and you have the right person representing you it will work out.
