Great attorney who will fight for you

I met Ms. Rice when my divorce/custody case was in tatters. My previous attorney had mismanaged my case and accrued excessive fees. My visitation with my kids had been reduced, child support was beyond state guidelines, and I was stuck with other financial obligations. I was drowning financially and ...emotionally. It was as if my attorney was representing my ex's interests. Ms. Rice took up my case, set up an affordable payment plan and thoroughly reviewed my case. She immediately gave me advice on how I could manage the ridiculous financial obligations without jeopardizing my case and her strategies worked. She tried my case for 3 full days in addition to other court appearances, reviewed voluminous materials, for half the cost of my previous attorney. During trial, she was fearless and unrelenting in presenting evidence and witnesses to support my case. So much so that my ex-wife who had set herself up for alimony and attorney fees ended up badly exposed that she received none. In addition, she won me a substantial amount for a monetary award AND my visitation was more than doubled. Had I used Ms. Rice from the beginning of my case, I would have saved thousands of dollars in attorney fees and support orders and secured a better custody arrangement. I would highly recommend you hire Ms. Rice if you are ever in a similar situation. You can be sure that she will fight for you.

Experienced, Knowledgeable, Professional, & Affordable!

A colleague from work referred me to Ms.Rice because of her positive experience with the attorney for her divorce and custody agreements and I would be needing her for the same. I was very pleased with her services and found that she was extremely patient in walking me through the process. She gave... me several scenarios of what to expect and responded to my questions and concerns via email, cell phone, and in person. She has a strong network of professional, legal, and family resources in the county that benefited us in our case. Her confidence comes from years of experience and that was apparent to me when we went to court. I really appreciated the payment schedule that was arranged which makes it manageable and therefore affordable. Her firm uses a web-based software for keeping track of documents, billing, and conversations, which makes it easy to find everything you need online. That saves on losing documents or having to carry them around with you or worrying about anyone else seeing it. I like that she was direct and didn't waste time. Her advice based on her knowledge and experience, was very accurate. She not only was easy to talk to, she was reassuring with the expectations we had agreed about. She helped me and I have recommended her to other friends that were seeking divorce or had child support/custody issues.

Review of Attorney Rice

Attorney Rice is excellent. She goes beyond the professional call of duty, by being accessible after hours via her cell phone and emails. We have even communicated on the weekend! All just so her clients feel carried along and never alone. You can't get better service than that. She also has been ver...y considerate of my financial situation, giving me discounts and working on my case even when I owe her. Wow! What more is one seeking for in an attorney but someone compassionate, yet professional. She's the best!

Put your mind at ease

I highly recommend Attorney Rice. She is professional, attentive and very responsive. She made a difficult situation easier to deal with. I would certainly hire her again!

Awful Service

Ms. Rice represented me in a family law matter. She was not only ill-prepared for a hearing, she did not file documents on time. She did not take the time to fully apprise herself with the facts of my case. She does not communicate well, and you will hardly ever be able to get her on the phone. I...f you are dealing with a matter and want someone who is personable, attentive, and will work hard to give you the best legal advice while advocating for you, Jeanette Rice is not the attorney you should choose.
