Very happy

Jennifer explained everything about my divorce case on our first meeting and I left pretty confident and knowledgeable about my rights and the whole process. Everything went very smooth and only had to go see her twice, including the initial consultation. Very good communication, kept me up to date... and e-mailed any forms that needed my signature. Overall very happy with her.
