Above and Beyond

Attorney Jennifer Bretz was recommended to me by a local friend with contacts in New Jersey when I needed local council, in a different state, six hours away from my residence. My case came up quickly and due to the urgency of my hearing, she not only worked during her vacation, but cut it short and ...worked evenings and weekends to ascertain that I was well represented. She was always very accessible and responded promptly with answers or information requested. Due to the uniqueness of my case, Attorney Bretz was required to work in coordination with my local attorney and was gracious, respectful, and accommodating. Even though I was a long distance client, I was made to feel as though I was her only case. Attorney Jennifer Bretz took her responsibility to me as a client quite seriously. She is very competent in law and was empathetic to my situation and I felt as though she genuinely cared about both me and my best interests.

Proactive, efficient Attorney

Jennifer Bretz is a knowledgable proactive attorney. She is a very good listener and thus drafts the documents with attention to the smallest detail pertaining to the case. I have worked with many lawyers over the years for multiple issues. Most lawyers do not thoroughly read the information that you... share with them but Jennifer was well aware of my case and she had read every document that I shared with her. She and her team are very organized, professional and reachable.

Hand Down Best Attorney

I cannot say enough about Jennifer. She is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. She is very versed in the area of Divorce. She worked with me on every aspect of my case and ultimately done very well for me. She is very honest, very down to earth and tells it as it is. Unlike many attorneys... she does not prolong a case just so she can bill more hours. She works very hard and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.

Jennifer Really Took Care of My Problem.

I needed a divorce from a woman that I haven't seen in 7 years and had no idea where she was. I was avoiding the whole process because I thought it was going to be very expensive, long, drawn-out, and just miserable. But, I knew that I needed to get it done. I hired Jennifer from a recommendation fro...m a friend. After talking to Jennifer on the phone she made me feel a lot better about the whole ordeal. I didn't have to really worry about anything after hiring her. I had to give her a few documents and she took care of the rest. I think the whole process took about 3 months. I found her to be not expensive for the level of service and professionalism that she gave to me. In court when the Judge passed his ruling down that I was now divorced I must of hugged her 10 times before we left the court room. She really was the right person for the job and I'm glad I hired her. I highly recommend her.

Was my attorney for my divorce ; they did a great job!

Jennifer was the lead attorney on my divorce. She provided me with excellent service and I would highly recommend her to a person who is looking to hire a divorce lawyer. This is hardest time in a person's life; I was happy that I had Jennifer on my team. She always had my best interest at heart. ...She is a wonderful person and a great divorce lawyer with a ton of divorce experience.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jennifer and I were opposing counsel on a highly contested matter in which emotions were running high. Jennifer was extremely skilled at finding a balance between zealously advocating for her client and taking reasonable positions designed to resolve the case. As an adversary she was professional and gracious, and I would welcome having a case with her again. I would also recommend clients to her, if they are seeking a skilled family lawyer in Northern New Jersey."
