An Exceptional Family Practice Attorney Who Truly Cares — Highly Recommend!

Working with Attorney Salerno has been an incredible experience. She’s not only an expert in family law but also genuinely compassionate and caring toward her clients. From day one, she was honest, patient, and thorough — explaining every step clearly and keeping me informed the entire way. Her commu...nication is excellent, and her professionalism and integrity stand out in everything she does. What really impressed me is how strong her negotiation skills are. She’s calm, confident, and always prepared, which helped bring positive results in my case. Several friends and family members have also worked with her and shared similar stories — each praising her communication, compassion, and ability to get things done. Family cases can be stressful, but Attorney Salerno makes you feel supported and understood. She truly cares about her clients and it shows. I’m beyond grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a skilled, honest, and compassionate family practice attorney.

Excellent representation!

Attorney Salerno has been working my case for almost 2 years now, she was my Lawyers assistant before her license, now she is my Lawyer for a very difficult divorce/child custody battle. Although I am still in the middle of this issue I am always kept informed on the next hearing date and given grea...t advice on what to do next. She was also a GAL previously and that is helping my case also because she is familiar with what needs to happen next. I feel I have two great people representing me who actually care what happens and if the outcome is not what she wanted she comes up with another plan of action to continue the fight no matter how hard it may become. I would recommend Attorney Salerno to anyone looking for representation.

Dedication, full engagement and incredibly amazing

I have worked with quite a few attorneys in my lifetime and have never experienced someone like Attorney Salerno. She is very engaged and responsive. Even if it was the weekend and I had an inquiry she responded. It is very rare to find an attorney that makes time to make you feel like more then just... a client. She made me feel at ease, confident, and was very straight forward with my case. Some attorneys are not worth what they charge but she is worth every penny and more. Attorney Salerno is professional, always prepared and fights for her client(s).I would recommend her to anyone that is in need of an excellent attorney who will go above and beyond for them. Gold stars all around.

Highly Recommended

Jennifer was extremely accommodating throughout my divorce. She was always available for questions and assistance. All my paperwork was done in advance of each motion or appearance. She worked well with the opposing attorney and settled my case in my favor. She spent extra time speaking to me on the ...phone to ensure I knew all the information needed and for any questions or concerns I had. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her. Thank you!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Jenn Salerno is an excellent family law attorney. I have known her for several years now and she is my go to person for questions on all types of family law issues from child custody and support, to alimony and asset division. Several attorneys in my firm handle family law issues and I still sometimes refer cases outside my firm to her, which is a testament to her skill and talent as a family attorney. Some attorneys in my firm have worked on opposite sides with Jenn and they all have been very impressed with her legal knowledge, preparation, skill, and advocacy. I highly recommend Jenn to anyone in need of a family law attorney. If I was experiencing a family law issue, she would be my top choice."
