Jill Havens

I had a legal consult with Jill regarding a Pandemic Unemployment Assistance repayment claim. I had a tight timeline and she was able to virtually meet with me shortly after I reached out. She took the time to thoroughly review the details of my case and gave me some great insights and advice that I ...used for my appeal and hearing. I won my hearing which was such a relief! I am very grateful for Jill and service she provided.

I have a legal background, but not in the area of unemployment law, so I did some research to find someone who did. Jill was hands down my first choice because she had first hand experience not only in the area of law I needed, but also directly working with the specific governmental body that deals... with unemployment benefits. Both she, and her assistant, Louise, run an efficient and professional practice. They call you back promptly and answer your questions fully. Jill thoroughly reviewed all my correspondence, and listened to my concerns. She suggested strategies that ultimately won my case. I was extremely happy, not only to have her guidance prior to my hearing, but also during my hearing. I could not be more pleased with Jill, nor the outcome of my case.

I was having a hard time finding a lawyer to even setup a consultation with me for an issue with the DUA; I was in a grey-area where I didn't need someone on retainer but I desperately needed advice. Everyone was too busy with other unemployment cases (there's been a spike lately) or were unintereste...d in talking until I had a hearing scheduled. Jill fit in a meeting quickly because she knew I was on the clock. She listened carefully and was "real" with me when she felt something would work or not work. She asked enough questions that she realized perhaps my case didn't need a lawyer at all but rather the help of my local state representative. Within a few days, I had my situation resolved (big thanks to my state rep, too). I am utterly grateful that Jill pointed me in this direction even if it meant not getting more work from me on an appeal case. I think her advice shows creative problem solving and a real concern about the client, not just gaining work. I hope it isn't necessary, but I'll definitely be returning to Jill if I ever have another issue with employment related issues.

Jill was referred to me by a friend who is also a lawyer. Having never had to hire an attorney for anything other than a will I was at a loss and was so very thrilled to have found Jill Havens. Jill answered all my questions , went through all of my paper work with me, was sure I understood everythi...ng that I needed to. She explained the process evolved and prepared me for every Avenue I was to cross. Jill went above and beyond to ensure that I was ready for my hearing and because of that I was able to sleep nights. A favorable decision was reached. Hiring Jill was definitely the right decision and I would recommend her to any friend or family member in need of her services.
