Jill Altarac

Jill is an outstanding attorney who combines deep legal knowledge with remarkable emotional intelligence. Her education, experience, and professionalism make her one of the best, but what truly sets her apart is how well she connects with people. Judges, court officers, and other lawyers genuinely... like and respect her — and that’s a huge advantage for her clients. When you see her greeting everyone in the courthouse, she’s not just being friendly; she’s building relationships that help her clients’ cases move forward more smoothly. Jill is strong, honest, and direct. She tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear, and she always gives solid, thoughtful advice. She’s also incredibly generous with her time and truly cares about helping her clients through one of the hardest experiences of their lives. Her entire firm reflects her leadership — they are supportive, professional, and collaborative. You never feel like you’re going through it alone. I would never have been able to make it through my very contentious divorce without Jill in my corner. She’s smart, strategic, and compassionate — a rare combination. I highly recommend her and her firm to anyone going through a divorce or separation.

I don't know where to begin with my review because I have a long history with Jill and her firm. I was referred to Jill almost 20 years ago when I was going through a bad divorce. I quickly realized how smart and capable of an attorney Jill was and my fear of losing the divorce was overshadowed by th...e fearsomeness of Jill's skills that were sometimes put to the test. Jill's team which includes her office team are one of the best I ever dealt with. Joanne has always been a pleasure to work with when it came to the billing portion of my account. Jill really shows she cares about her clients and their needs. She is empathetic, knowledgeable, and very professional. Years later, after my divorce finalized, I again asked for her services to assist me with a minor custody issue with my youngest child and it was handled quick, easy and professional. In recent times, we hired Jill's wonderful service yet again but this time it was to assist my son in a custody battle that was a tough case. The case lasted for months, and we thought it was never going to end or end up in a long-drawn-out trial. Through Jill's smart skills and great advice, my son was able to win his case and have full custody of his toddler. This is something that doesn't usually happen in a society of courts always favoring the mother even when the mother is unfit. I can't say enough about Jill and her team and how great they are. We are so thankful that we had her representing our family not once, not twice but three times. I have and will always recommend Jill if someone needs a family attorney.

Jill is a calm voice in the storm. Divorce is one of the most difficult life experiences to go through, but you never feel alone because Jill walks you through each step. She is very responsive and patiently answers each and every question. I am so thankful to her and her team for helping me get t...hrough a very difficult time. I would definitely recommend her.

I hired Jill during the most stressful time of my life. I immediately found her to be smart, calming and diligent, and hoped that I would somehow get through this process of separation and custody okay. Now that it's over, I'm so thoroughly impressed by Jill, and her associate Kristin, for their work... ethic, intelligence, experience, creativity and compassion- not to mention their incredible response time and professionalism. Every option, detail and legal requirement was explained and discussed to ensure that I was well advised. They handled everything so thoroughly that it eliminated so much stress caused by my situation. I would recommend Jill Altarac to everyone that I care about.

After a 4 and 1/2 year divorce I can highly recommend Jill Altarac as an experienced, thoughtful and caring attorney who will give you the personalized service you deserve and may not receive at a larger firm. Jill's experience and affable nature creates a productive working relationship with her cli...ents, the courts and opposing counsel. But when she needs to go to battle on your behalf you will be thankful she is representing you and not your ex. Additionally, her focus on always doing what is in the best interest of children is comforting if you are a parent going through a divorce. Since I am also an attorney I believe I am probably a harsher critic then most when it comes to legal services and I was and am a satisfied customer. I chose Jill after interviewing 5 other firms. Just sit down with Jill for 15 minutes and you will recognize why I felt such a level of comfort with Jill during this very tumultuous time in my life.
