Very professional
It was a pleasure working with Jennifer regarding a traffic matter. She handled my case professionally, promptly and was able to get the charge reduced. While I hope to never need her services again, I'd hire her in an instant if I did.

Professionalism at its best!
Jennifer was truly a life saver! I contacted her regarding a legal issue that was emotionally draining. The problem was with a mom at my sons school possibly slandering me. After leaving a voice mail explaining the reason for legal help, she called me back within about 5 minutes. When she called...

Got the job done, with some caveats
Everyone makes mistakes. And we're all human. With that being said, Jennifer made one too many mistakes before we actually made it to the courtroom. First, she misplaced my original check that I mailed to her, and I had to send her another one. No big deal, as that was a simple request. But then, she...

Replied last June 21, 2017Ray: Thank you for taking the time to comment on my services. I certainly welcome your feedback. Just for clarification, however, I NEVER lost your check. If you recall, I accidentally spilled water on the check and it smeared so I couldn't cash it. In terms of what happened on the initial court date, I regret that you had to wait 1.5 hours and I again sincerely apologize for the confusion. I did immediately rectify the situation as soon as I realized what had occurred (a scheduling mistake with my calendar). Anyway, glad you are grateful that I was able to get you a positive plea that day to resolve your matter and keep your driving record clear:) As you said, hopefully you will not require my services in the future! Drive safely and have a good summer!
