Top notch lawyer and firm

Jordana was patient, kind, compassionate and efficient at handling my divorce. She explained every step of the process and answered all of my questions. She also helped me understand what was typical vs atypical so that I could manage the emotions of going through this difficult life circumstance. ... I highly recommend Jordana.

The One You Want

Jordana came highly recommended from a friend and she did not disappoint. My divorce was messy and complicated, as is not unusual, and there were many details to consider. To say that Jordana is meticulous would be an understatement. She quickly mastered the intricacies of my case. Jordana is not onl...y an expert in family law in Massachusetts but also can draw on her extensive experience with how cases play out in practice. Jordana was also extremely adept at strategizing our approach and helping me understand which positions would be to my advantage and which would not. I don't recommend going through a divorce, but if that's what life brings, you can't do better than having Jordana at your side.

She almost makes we want to get divorced again

Jordana is fantastic. She is professional yet relentless, and always available with sound advice. The scariest part of going through a divorce was entering into a process where the rules are opaque. Every step of the way, Jordana offered superb advice. Every decision I made was because of her, and ev...ery decision landed me in a better place.

Thorough, Meticulous, and Easy to Work With

My contentious divorce went quickly and relatively smoothly thanks to Jordana. She was extremely prepared with all of the facts and data for every step in the process, bolstering our position with concrete data and supportive well-written arguments, and always with an eye on how to be effective in ne...gotiations. She was able to help me stay calm during the difficult emotional process with her cool, collected manner, and helped me stay focused on the big picture, preventing many of my knee-jerk reactions. I was also very impressed with the fact that she was always available and extremely responsive, even on non-working days, which really made me feel like I had someone to rely on and trust during some very difficult moments. I would higher he again without hesitation (though I hope it won't be necessary) and I highly recommend her.

Very helpful

Jordana is an experienced and pleasant attorney who helped prepare a prenuptial agreement for me. She calmly navigated interactions with the other attorney and was able to make the necessary compromises in a swift manner that still protected my interests.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
