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.

I give my highest recommendation to Jill Trayer

I am an attorney, and was formerly married to an attorney. However, I did not want to represent myself in my divorce proceedings. I had no experience in the area of Pennsylvania family law, and needed help navigating the procedural and substantive aspects of the divorce. I also needed guidance in dea...ling with some very challenging interpersonal issues that had led me to end the marriage. Jill was referred to me by two individuals. One was a trusted friend and fellow attorney who went through a lengthy contested divorce with Jill as her attorney. The other was the marital counselor who my ex and I had seen together prior to our separation. Jill’s straightforward approach and honest application of the law to the facts immediately impressed me and put my mind at ease. It was clear that she was very experienced and effective. It also became apparent over time then she had the respect of colleagues, judges and court staff alike. Jill skillfully led the way throughout the divorce proceedings, providing me with confidence during difficult and protracted battles in the areas of child custody, child support, division of property, and alimony. After my ex terminated his representation and opted to represent himself instead, Jill handled his litigation tactics with toughness and professionalism. Even as my ex filed multiple petitions of questionable merit after the finalization of the divorce, Jill devoted significant time and attention to bring the issues to fair and just resolutions. On a personal level, I felt from day one that I could trust Jill with sensitive information and the difficult emotions that came with leaving my ex and seeking the divorce. Her warmth and approachability, along with her straight talk and no-nonsense approach, gave me assurance that I was in good hands. On a practical note, Jill was always mindful of my budgetary constraints, and was extremely fair in her billing of the work that she performed on my behalf. I wish that I could say that Jill is a miracle worker. Unfortunately, some aspects of my divorce did not end with my ideal result. However, ideal results do not exist in the world of divorce. Instead, Jill always gave me honest and realistic advice, given her thorough knowledge and experience working within the constraints of the law and the facts. Her assessments were invariably on target. I have the utmost respect for Jill as a fellow attorney. I have already recommended her several times for issues related to child custody and child support, and will continue to recommend her for family law issues without hesitation.

"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."
