Excellent lawyer!

Birz Law represented me in my recent divorce. Living in Europe it first was very challenging to find a suitable law firm to navigate through my divorce in the US. After a few interviews, I presented my case to Jenny who was an amazing listener and immediately understood my situation. She provided me ...with excellent counseling and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire divorce. She was very knowledgeable in all questions I had and addressed all situations in a timely and professional manner. She turned work around very quickly yet effectively. Jenny was such a pleasure to work with. I thank her very much and do highly recommend her to anyone searching for an attorney in divorce.

The calm during the storm!

Jenny Birz handled my divorce and was the calming factor in the storm of my divorce. She stood firm in the face of a very difficult and defiant opposing attorney. So much so that the opposing attorney was eventually fired by my ex wife. Calm, cool and collected - that is what Jenny is. A professi...onal in every sense of the word!

I'm very grateful to Ms. Birz

Ms. Birz is a great lawyer. She was working on my divorce case and all the related matters. Ms. Birz is a professional lawyer. She is very attentive. She quickly understands the essence of the matter, she quickly observes and analyzes large volumes of information, offers the best solution. She took m...y divorce case not from the beginning, but after the previously hired lawyer who delayed my case and created additional difficulties. Ms. Birz solved all the problems and won my case! She is a wonderful and confident representative for her clients in the Court. With her, I was absolutely sure and calm at the hearings. Ms. Birz is a subtle and confident negotiator. She negotiated with the opposite party and achieved an agreement, fully satisfying my interests in a timely manner. The case of divorce was incredibly fast and successful. I'm very grateful to Ms. Birz for her excellent work! I already recommended her to my friend, and also would recommend her to conduct family affairs as a professional lawyer with wonderful human qualities! I admire lawyers like Ms. Birz!

Thankful!

I hired Mrs. Birz after having a long and complicated divorce with my husband (before working with Mrs. Birz I worked with another lawyer who made far too many mistakes during my divorce process). Me and my ex couldn't agree on our parenting time, and he wasn't giving me permission to travel overseas... with our son. Mrs.Birz successfully helped me resolve these issues in court. Her communication skills are excellent, she made the whole situation very clear to me and we both found the best solution, which was later supported by the Judge. I wish I could have worked with her from the beginning, my divorce would have taken half the time. Understanding and support is something you really need while going through a divorce, I'm so thankful for her for that. Mrs.Birtz is an excellent and expert lawyer!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent family lawyer that genuinly cares and went above and beyond of what I have paid for.

Jenny Birz provided legal advise to me in dealing with my divorce. It was a consensual separation and I wanted Jenny to review the final divorce document. I did not have any other lawyer representing me so her opinion and expertise matter a lot to me. She went above and beyond of what I have pai...d for. Here is why: She was very flexible in scheduling time for the phone call. She took time to get familiar with the personal background of the parties involved. She highlighted few very important points that I did not thing of. She spent more than an hour for the conversation that was supposed to last 30 min. She was even able to answer few questions after the scheduled time via email. Overall, she deserved five starts for her service. I would highly recommend Jenny for any divorce related legal services. She genuinely cares about her clients!
