Worst custody lawyer

I had a custody battle that was drug out for FOUR years. Jennifer is very unprofessional as far as appearance and work ethic. She would not respond to things in a timely manor and when my case finally could’ve went to trial she decided it was best if I found different representation knowing I only ha...d 20 days to file and she waited 5 days to even give me the new custody order, which I may add gave me LESS than I did before I started fighting for my daughter. She would use profanity and would show up to hearing looking like she just rolled out of bed. My evidence was not even presented on my side of the case that would disprove the opposing party. I will never recommend her to anyone, let alone ever use her again. Biggest waste of money ever!!!!!

Reviews are true

The other reviews here are true. She said she would represent me in a no-contest divorce. Instead, she never finished the paperwork and would not respond at all to voicemails or email. I have legal insurance through work. I don’t think she charged it, but still unprofessional.

Unresponsive

I hired Jennifer because she assured me she could complete my divorce in approximately 3 months since it was a pretty simple case - no children, no major assets. I paid her an upfront, flat fee. It has been a year since I retained Jennifer, and I'm still married. After waiting months for a divorce... decree, I reached out to see what was going on. At this point, Jennifer discovered my final paperwork was never actually filed. She then assured me the paperwork was now complete, and I would be divorced in 3 weeks, no problem. She promised to send me copies of all of the paperwork, which I never received. It has been another 5 weeks, and I'm still not divorced. She does not respond to my emails to obtain status checks or perform the tasks she assured me she was completing. There was also a lack of attention to basic detail. My husband's name was incorrect in the first draft of the agreement paperwork. The date of separation was wrong on another document. I notified her it was incorrect, yet she mailed it to my husband with the incorrect date still intact. I do not recommend hiring Jennifer. She does not complete tasks, respond to emails, or get basic details correct. Dealing with her has been a major source of stress and frustration during an already miserable time.

A hack

If you are a victim of abuse, run in the other direction! Jennifer will compromise your safety. She provided my ex's counsel with my personal information which I had legally protected under California's Safe at Home program. They then provided it to my ex. Do not give her your personal information. I...t is not safe. Jennifer talks a big game. I was drawn to her because of her work with her BLM legal defense work. She told me she would complete my divorce for $2k. After completing just one hearing for which she was on a road trip and dropped the call multiple times, she withdrew, leaving me to find a new attorney. She did not provide a refund, either. Everyone I interviewed said the same thing: "Why hasn't she submitted this claim yet?" I had no reply; she refused to provide a strategy. When I asked for her to provide my case with some attention, after months of her stalling, she replied by telling me about another client who had been punched in the face the day before, which retraumatized me. I spent so much time working through that image, all done to try to put me in my place. She topped off her withdraw by with lying to the court, saying I had asked her to withdraw, and PA Bar, saying I had called her names. As if we were in elementary school. She is not trauma-informed and is in well over her head working with the public. I feel sorry for the protestors who relied on her to bail them out.

Very delicate child custody case!!

Jennifer was very helpful and prompt in handling my case! She was very friendly and always there when I needed advice.
