Review Jennifer Melissa Mendelsohn

Name Changed - So happy!

Attorney Jennifer helped me through a legal name change. and I'm so grateful I hired her. Thanks to her hard work, humor, sensitivity, excellent skills, and continuous communication, I felt supported throughout the emotional and challenging process. When the newspaper made an error which ended up delaying my case, Jennifer not only caught it, but also saved me money by fighting the publication from charging me additional fees. Jennifer had such a good relationship with the courts that she completed the name change without requiring me to appear in person or to take off from work for the final step of the process. I was so pleased with her help on this matter that I have actually already hired her to aid me with another matter, and will continue to use her for any legal needs. I'm so glad I found Jennifer, and know you will be, too.
