Posted by Andrew | July 17, 2023 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent divorce strategist, not just a litigator.

I am a father of two kids and a project manager. My divorce was the first process in my life that I had no idea how to manage despite having a career working with people and two advanced degrees. My (then) wife simply dropped all communication and I could not get her to talk about the roadmap for sep...aration and divorce even though we still lived under the same roof (and it was her idea). After being in this situation for over a year, I was getting depressed. I had consulted an attorney who had recommended me to just give my would-be-ex everything that she wanted. Then I found Ms Moheyer's support group and it changed my life. Every other week, for years, she has led this call-in forum for fathers at different stages of their divorce situations - pro bono, as community service! That group gave me the knowledge of what's possible and the confidence to be able to move things forward. In addition, I took an online workshop (the best $100 spent in my life) and got the tips on establishing dialogue with the partner that leads to re-establishing the degree of mutual trust enough to complete the divorce. Several month later, we were able to nail down some bullet points that were appropriate for us and helped us avoid litigation. We filed for mutual consent divorce with property separation and shared custody, and several more months later this was done. I still can't believe that in a matter of nine months, Ms Mohyer's support group and her workshop resources helped me get from a very dark place to personal freedom, stamped and approved by the court in MD. I still attend the support group to discuss the challenges of co-parenting, and this experience is invaluable. Here is why I would recommend this attorney: *she never pushes services on you. Instead, she lays out the options and I saved a lot by doing the things I had an option of doing the prep work by myself (like collecting some paperwork) that another attorney would have done at a handsome hourly rate). *She uses psychology to provide tools that enable some kind of dialogue between parties, making the process less painful and less expensive. I have recommended Ms Jennifer Moheyer to a number of friends, and now that my divorce is in the past and the "paper is dry", I hope someone in a similar situation (in DC, MD, VA) can get assistance.

Perfect!

Jenna has been a savior during such a difficult time in my life. Enduring a divirce with her support has given me peace of mind. Thank you to Jenna and her team for creating such a wonderful program!

Very Honest and Capable attorney!

I have known Jenna since 2008 and have always thought highly of her. I learned the INCREDIBLE value of her legal skills a few days ago. My wife has been abusing our marriage for 2.5 years. Jenna helped me level the field in 2 days!! She first cleared the fog, and helped me see the abuse clearly. T...hen she strategized with her team, came up with a plan and gave me clear instructions. It was extremely helpful, I could not be happier with how it turned out. My divorce is pending, and I have no doubt it will turn out the way I want with Jenna's help. Very highly recommended!

Guidance: Sure and True

Jenna's guidance throughout the separation to divorce process was nothing less than spectacular and an invaluable asset. Her staff was also personable and knowledgeable – an essential combination that helped speed our divorce to a very successful outcome. Post divorce complications were dealt with si...milarly leaving me feeling even more convinced that I’d chosen the right team for my DIY divorce.

Jenna - the light at the end of the tunnel

After an abusive 2-year marriage and hostile divorce, I was struggling with an 8-year child support battle when I found Jenna. I first took advantage of her firm's affordable "Do It Yourself Division" to help me represent myself, and then asked Jenna to step-in during my heated court hearings. ... I felt much stronger with her calming presence and aggressive advice. I FINALLY see a light at the end of the tunnel. I FINALLY feel more sure-footed and confident. Jenna will assist me in my future endeavors, no question! She's the "lawyer of the future", thankfully NOT like any other lawyer I've ever met.
