Excellent Counsel

Ms. McCann represented me twice; I found her to be extremely knowledgable not only in the area of law for which I needed her counsel but in other legal areas that were brought up during conversation. In the courtroom she is professional and approachable; commanding respect as necessary. On a personal... level Jennifer is compassionate and non-judgemental regarding the issue that brought you to her. She would be my first choice should I ever need counsel again and my first choice of recommendation for associates or friends. The outcome of my situations was excellent.

Knowledgeable female attorney!

I have used Miss McCann several times, as well as I call/visit her occationaly for her expert legal advice. I recommended her to a girlfriend of mine for a divorce and she was also very pleased. She appreciated the fact that she is a female because in a divorce it is more confortable discussing your ...issues with a female. In my personal experience with Miss McCann her advice has always been very helpful and spot on! I have used other laywers but none were as good. She explained everything to me in terms I could understand, and she took her time with me during trial to let me know what was going on at all times. I would definitely recommend her.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have referred a number of my clients to Ms. McCann for assistance in criminal defense. As a matrimonial practitioner, I will often find myself with clients who are in need of expeditious, targeted assistance with criminal problems. Whether it is something like a domestic violence charge, a DWI, or anything between, I have always felt fully assured and confident in referring my clients to Ms. McCann for her professional and thorough assistance. Most importantly, my clients have always shared these feelings, which is an extremely valuable asset. When you refer a client to another attorney, you vouch for them and put your name on the line. Knowing Ms. McCann's professional demeanor, accessibility, tenacity, and knowledge base always leaves me (and my client) resting assured. I endorse this lawyer."

"Jennifer McCann has been an invaluable asset to my law practice. Having worked and consulted with Ms. McCann on several matters I can without hesitation endorse her as a skilled and knowledgeable practitioner of criminal law. On multiple occasions I have confidently referred my clients, and referrals from clients, to Ms. McCann regarding complex and serious criminal matters. Each time the feedback from the client I referred was the same, they were grateful that they were referred to Ms. McCann."

"Having worked with Jennifer McCann for three years, I wholeheartedly endorse her as an outstanding attorney. She is an aggressive and creative litigator with excellent criminal defense and general litigation skills. Ms. McCann is a zealous advocate, and within the boundaries of acceptable ethical practice, will look for any edge that will help to secure the most favorable possible outcome for her clients. She also has a terrific command of computer and technology issues that so often arise in today's legal landscape. I would feel 100% confident with Ms. McCann representing me if I were in trouble. She will definitely fight for her clients."
