excellent family law attorney

Jill Trayer came recommended as a lawyer that understands how to deal with high conflict personalities and mentally abusive situations and I knew she was the right divorce attorney for me the moment I met her. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Jill is well respected in her f...ield and is genuinely compassionate to my situation. She had smart strategies to move my case forward to a divorce settlement and custody agreement. In the end, I kept my house, didn’t have to pay alimony, and got 100% of my retirement. With her experience and expertise, she’s helped me navigate the many issues my high conflict ex husband has created over the past few years. Jill fights hard for me and has been highly professional and responsive. More than once, Jill went the extra mile and went above and beyond for me. It is my pleasure to recommend Jill as a very qualified attorney who can handle your family law issues.

Jill Trayer is an Excellent Divorce Attorney

Filing for divorce can mark one of the most difficult periods in life. I began that journey just over two years ago after meeting with Jill Trayer and presenting my personal case. I signed with Jill the first day I met her because she immediately demonstrated a quick sense of focus, an attention to d...etail, controlled compassion and a calm overall demeanor. These were important attributes to me as I was dealing with what I would describe as a highly manipulative and financially deceitful spouse. I wanted representation that would not be distracted with the traditional ‘smoke and mirrors’ tactics and move the process steadily ahead. We were confronted with tactics of delays, non-compliance with requested paperwork, and consistent ‘smoke and mirrors’ defensiveness without any movement toward appropriate settlement whatsoever. Despite this frustration, Jill was able to move us forward to a Magistrate Hearing. While it was both a physically and mentally trying event all around, I admired the way Jill handled the consolidation of some tedious details, veritably on the fly, and in a constrained environment. The negotiation process was draining yet Jill stood our ground with direct responsiveness and refusal to be intimidated. She was prepared with a good pre hearing statement and her 20 plus years experience was an asset in resolution. I was impressed with her ability to wrap it all up succinctly despite the overall tension. I think of Jill Trayer with great and dear appreciation. She provided excellent counsel, honest representation, was always prepared (paperwork, court appearances, etc.), and manages a very responsive and professional support staff. Jill Trayer is an excellent attorney who I found to be a compassionate and sincere person. I remain grateful for her guidance ... every step of the way.

Respected, Fair and Hard-working

I tried five different attorneys--who for one reason or another did not work out--before I finally hired Jill. My ex takes me to court on a regular basis--even though our divorce was final fourteen years ago. Jill's fees are fair and she is an excellent attorney, but the main reason I continue to u...se her is her genuine concern for what's best for my child; she does not inflame the situation to make money and treats my child and me respectfully. I am surprised to see I am the first to review her, but her clients seem to be mostly referrals (word-of-mouth). She is well-respected by those in her field, and was recommended to me by another attorney--in addition to a previous client. I highly recommend Jill.

"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."
