Jen is one a kind......

Getting divorced is one of the most stressful things ever, but a necessary thing ,with a rainbow at the end.......I shopped around for an attorney that I felt connected to....and the first 4-5 were just awful people........I got referred to Jen Clapp from another attorney who was a patient of mine. I... immediately felt at home and comfortable with her....like an old friend from high school.... Jen is smart, empathetic, efficient, and hard working....and in the end I was very happy.......except.....I now miss my meetings with her! totally recommended to anyone having to make ,and execute ,this very difficult decision.

Amazing advocate for YOU in the separation process

Jenny Clapp is an amazing lawyer who is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and empathic in guiding one through the process of separation and divorce. If you are getting divorced, more than anything you will need someone who knows the law. Jenny knows the law. She helped me through a difficult t...ime with empathy, and was the strong advocate that I needed to protect my interests. I would recommend her services to anyone who is in need of legal services or advice in the separation process, regardless of the degree of contentiousness of the situation.

Ms.

Hiring Attorney Clapp was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She fought to obtain a fair divorce settlement for me and supported me as I began a new life after 43 years of marriage. She was, and undoubtedly continues to be, a professional who was always available to consult with, to answer q...uestions and to offer support and encouragement as I navigated through the challenges of a difficult and emotional divorce. I can’t begin to say enough about Attorney Clapp’s work ethic and dedication. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a gifted litigator.

Highly Recommended

I highly recommend hiring Jenny Clapp to represent you. She is professional, ethical, honest, direct, passionate, compassionate, knowledgeable, respectful, collaborative, trustworthy, peer respected and fair. Jenny represented me in my divorce, and, in a complicated modification trial. I value Jenn...y's advice and I value the way she listens to the things that are important to me. She has a unique way of combining her legal advice with my goals to formulate a winning strategy. There has not been a single time in my partnership with Jenny that I’ve second guessed my decision to have her represent me...not one.

Painless Prenuptial Agreement

As a woman in my 40s with a career and college-aged children, I feared the process of a prenuptial agreement that my now current (then future) husband requested, would be a difficult and uncomfortable task. The idea of discussing what happens if we were to divorce sounded so distasteful and irrelevan...t since we were in love. But Jenny walked me through it every step of the way, showing me that ​we could negotiate without being confrontational, and, that by adding certain provisions into the prenuptial agreement it would protect both my husband and me. She demonstrated that entering into prenuptial agreement it was the responsible thing to do for both of us. Were there moments of discomfort? Of course! But she alleviated 99% of it. She also remained a valuable resource after we married for referrals or questions. Five out of five stars. I highly recommend.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Clapp represented the opposing party in a restraining order case I worked on. Despite the tremendous animosity between our respective clients, she acted with the utmost decorum and professionalism. Based on this experience, I would recommend her to anybody seeking representation in a family law matter."
