EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!

Divorce in my opinion is one of the most painful and difficult experience one can go through in life.Getting the right divorce Lawyer can make the process a bit easier. I lucked out in getting Lawyer Jennifer Mendelsohn as my Divorce Attorney. She made me feel very relaxed and comfortable during our ...initial consultation and continued that way until the end of my divorce. Ms.Mendelsohn is very competent, a no-nonsense attorney, very honest , will cut to the truth and what to expect. She handled my divorce in an outstanding manner and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Lawyer Mendelsohn's knowledge in matrimonial law and her professionalism was impeccable. I always felt I had someone in my corner fighting for my rights.No words can express my sincere and immense gratitude to Ms J. Mendelsohn and her staff who were always very supportive and respectful and kept me updated every step of the way. I am very pleased with the services I received from her and her staff. I highly recommend Lawyer Jennifer Mendelsohn as the attorney to go to if you want the best representation in your divorce!! Thanks Lawyer J. Mendelsohn, thanks Donna and Lorraine.. you guys are the best!!!!

Outstanding Attorney - Highly Recommended

Ms. Mendelsohn handled my divorce in an outstanding manner, and I could not have asked for better. Her efficiency and attention to detail in formulating and preparing the Agreement made the entire situation easier to deal with. Knowing that she had my back and would go to the wall to protect my rig...hts, gave me the confidence I needed to negotiate the court system. Unlike many attorneys, I never received a voice mail greeting when calling her office...she or her staff always answer the phone. Jennifer's understanding, efficiency, and empathy...combined with her mission of representing her client to the max...made a traumatic experience less so. I was so impressed with the service I received (and I don't impress easily), that I have returned to have her represent me in other matters. I highly recommend Ms. Mendelsohn as an attorney. I would retain no one else.

AMAZING!!

Eight years ago I hired Jennifer to represent me in divorce proceedings. Her professionalism, knowledge, confidence and kindness guided me through this most difficult time of my life. My ex recently filed motions that were outside of our original divorce decree. Once again, Jennifer was by my side an...d with her help, we prevailed. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone, she and her team are amazing.

Divorce Attorney

Jennifer Mendelsohn has been outstanding in handling my case. She is very knowledgeable of the laws regarding divorce. I found her to be very trustworthy, straigthtfoward and easy to speak with. Since I have met Jennifer Mendelsohn, I will never use another attorney again. I highly recommend her and ...if anyone needs me to elaborate, I would be more than happy too. In all my experiences with attorneys, I have never had such a pleasant experience professionally as I have with Jennifer Mendelsohn.

Divorce/Real Estate

Ms. Mendelsohn represented me during my divorce. Ms. Mendelsohn's knowledge of marital law and her professionalism was unsurpassed. I felt I had someone in my corner fighting for my rights! She was able to negotiate an agreement with my wife's attorney that was amicable to both sides. I also used ...Ms. Mendelsohn for a real estate transaction. Ms. Mendelsohn provided excellent representation from contract signing to closing. I highly recommend Ms. Mendelsohn, she is honest, trustworthy and very professional.
