I can not say enough wonderful things about Jill. She has been so attentive, kind and truly cares about her clients. I brought a very unique situation to her (after she was recommended for it by my previous lawyer) and Jill did a lot of research and thought outside the box to help me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering or who needs help with anything Family law related.

Highly Recommend
I've worked with Ms. Laskowitz on numerous occasions. I started working with her through my employer with filing execution of judgments for breach of contract with my employer. Ms. Laskowitz is always highly prepared, pleasant to speak with, and gives good, honest counsel. I proceeded to work with her regarding my own business and also used her firm to help acquire a title for a vintage vehicle. I then referred her to a family member that was in need of assistance. My family member also agreed that Ms. Laskowitz was not only more helpful, knowledgeable and approachable, but also that her rates were competitive with the other attorney my family member reached out to. I would certainly highly recommend Ms. Laskowitz, or anyone from her firm.

Professional and competent legal representation was my personal experience with Jill. She continues to represent my family.
I am one of two guardians that Jill has represented in respect to an elderly relative. She has guided us through many agency and government proceedings with professional and timely services. Though she had not had much prior experience with elderly guardianship cases she has invested much time and resources in learning and successfully representing our petitions. We are very pleased with her performance and thoughtful attention to details. Her youthful appearance was an initial concern for me but she conducted herself with grace and a steadfast determination in court. I would highly recommend her services.
