Easy to understand

Jill was referred to me by a family members friend. At my consultation meeting Jill made me feel very comfortable by explaining the process in laymen's terms and being very patient. I had a lot of questions that I wasn't sure how to ask, but with all of her experience Jill was able to answer my quest...ions and give me useful advice and information for my situation. What I like most was that Jill was honest will me, very fairly priced and understood exactly what I wanted and needed when it came to the legal process. In the end I got a better outcome than I ever imagined due solely to Jill's experience and knowledge.

Made my divorce extremely easy!

Jill made my divorce super easy and as painless as a divorce could be. She is extremely knowledgeable. Luckily, my divorce ended up being fairly straight forward, but there were times when it started to get a bit ugly and I felt very secure with Jill on my side during those stressful episodes!

Professional, knowedgeable, but not great follow-up

I have been trying to get through a divorce matter and decided to switch lawyers as there was very little progress - just delay tactics by the other side. I spoke with Jill following a $200 initial consult fee - (no more free advice these days!) . She was very professional, knowledgeable and we had... a good rapport, so I thought that she would be a good fit for me. She said she would think about my case and get back to me. Over one week later I have heard nothing and am still waiting. My case is not complicated and I was hoping she could help me to finally close this matter. I realize we are all busy but a simple follow-up phone call or email from the office to let me know one way or the other would suffice.

I recommend Jill to anyone

I hired Jill for my divorce, revisions on child support, and revision with my custody order. Jill also provided me with a private investigator; who was also great; and was able to provide images and video of what I had already expected was happening. Jill spoke to the defendant’s lawyer, and my child...’s therapist on a three-way call to advocate for my child. I feel Jill works really hard to help you through the process of understanding what can be expected in your case. She is very clear on what she will try to work towards on what she might be able to do for you. Jill listens to what you would like to have happen, but doesn’t make you false promises on what you will get it! I always mention Jill Trayer name, when I know someone is going through a divorce or custody. My child’s therapist even thought she was on top of her game, during the 3 way call, that he recommends her.

Honest, fair and tough

My divorce was dragging into the 3rd year when I decided I needed to change my attorney. A friend suggested the attorney she hired for her divorce...Jill. It was the best decision I made. Within a year of hiring Jill the divorce was finalized. Jill is honest. She will tell you if something you wa...nt is not winnable but she will also fight for you if something is worth fighting for. Several months after the divorce was finalized I had a medical issue. Jill reached out to check in on me. That one act of kindness shows what is special about Jill. I wish I had hired Jill right from the start.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Jill Trayer for divorce and custody litigation. Jill has been opposing counsel on several cases that I have had, and I can say without a doubt that she knows the law and is an extremely tough negotiator. She delivers excellent results to her clients. She is one of the few attorneys in Bucks County that I refer people to when our firm cannot handle their cases due to a conflict."
