Competent Family Law Attorney

I had not needed a family lawyer in many years, so I was understandably concerned about how the process would go after such a long gap. From the very beginning, my lawyer and her team were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answer...ed all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. Despite the time that had passed since my previous legal matters, they were able to step in seamlessly and achieve a very positive outcome. Their experience, responsiveness, and dedication truly made a difference. I am very grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

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.

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.

Jordana is effective and wise

I am a lawyer and was represented by Jordana and her colleague Nancy on an especially contentious and complex divorce as well as several post-divorce proceedings. Jordana always offered wise counsel and practical solutions. I have referred friends, including other attorneys, and they have all shared ...my high opinion of Jordana and her firm.

Attorney / Certified Conciliator Enthusiastically Recommended

I enthusiastically recommend Jordana Kershner and her firm. Jordana helped me through a divorce with contested custody, domestic violence, and an attorney as a soon-to-be ex-husband. She was exceptionally smart, patient, understanding and absolutely on point with each motion. She was quickly respons...ive to emails, kept me in the loop, and gently made sure I stayed up to date on my to do list. She was always above and beyond prepared for any scenario, and was strong and tenacious in the courtroom when needed. Jordana's exceptional knowledge of the law, attention to detail, and gentle handling of me made me feel extremely comfortable and because of that I have recommended her to others and have consulted with her subsequent to my divorce on additional matters. What set Jordana apart from other attorneys I had consulted or worked with was her ability to hyper focus on the minutiae of the law in the courtroom, then quickly pivot and attend to my emotional needs to explain what the judge needed from me and why she was handling something a certain way, then pivot seamlessly back again. Extraordinary. Every moment in and out of the courtroom it was unequivocal that Jordana was the most savvy and skilled person in the room. With her unique skill set, Jordana does everything she can to get the best possible settlement for her clients out of the courtroom, but is exactly the kind of shark you want on your side should you need to be inside one. Jordana is also a certified conciliator, so she can serve as a neutral to help people resolve disputes and avoid court.
