10/10 Experience

Jean handled both my cases excellently for traffic. Be sure to follow her advice to the letter, she knows what she is doing. I'm incredibly thankful for her assistance. She was prompt to communicate with me and left me feeling confident my case was in good hands. If you're considering Jean to represe...nt you

Legal Comfort

I was charged with a traffic offense for which I felt I was not responsible or, at least, was not fully responsible. I asked Ms. Humbrecht to represent me and it was one the best decisions I ever made. First, she was very assuring since dealing with the legal system was foreign to me. Second, she... was very clear about what I should do in anticipation of the court date. Third, she explained what she would do for me, including attempting to have the charge dismissed. She arranged to represent me in court without my presence required which was very reassuring. In the end, everything happened as she said it would. The charge was dismissed and there were no court costs. If you are looking for legal representation for traffic related issues, Jean Humbrecht should be at the top of your list.

Littering/Dumping Charge

Very thankful I hired Jean to help with my case. I was not familiar with the legal system, and would have been lost without her. Even though my charge was the result of confusion on my part, it still had the possibility of large fine and/or jail time. I highly recommend Jean for any charge or ticket... as small as you think it might be. She got my case dismissed for the lowest possible fine. Very appreciative.

Highly Recommend

I am incredibly grateful to Ms. Humbrecht for her outstanding representation of my son. From the start, she took the time to truly understand his situation and advocate for him with compassion, insight, and skill. Her professionalism, experience, and clear communication made a world of difference ...as we navigated a very stressful and unfamiliar process. Thanks to her advocacy, my son was given a second chance and a valuable life lesson. This experience has been humbling for him, and we know it will leave a lasting impression. While we know this is her profession, the care and commitment she showed went far beyond what we expected. We will always be thankful for her support and for helping guide us through such a difficult moment. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
