Jennifer was highly recommended to me by one of her professional colleagues who practices family law in Pennsylvania. My experience with her lived up to that recommendation. Jennifer handled the entire process of my separation and divorce with the utmost professionalism and consideration possible. Fr...om the initial consult to the final conversation post final decree of divorce, a period of 18+ months, Jennifer consistently addressed all of my questions and concerns in a thoughtful and constructive manner. Her experience saved me from a couple of self-inflicted mistakes, and most importantly, steered me to make a decision that tilted the proceedings in my favor. She helped me stick to the facts of the case and kept me from making hasty emotional decisions. Jennifer is an excellent communicator and kept me informed on how the other party might play out a number of changes made to the co-parenting plan and separation agreement. In the end, what could have been a contentious and acrimonious experience ended up being a straightforward legal transaction. Jennifer’s competence and compassion made the difference in how I experienced the ending of my marriage.

I hired Jennifer as my representative for a collaborative divorce from my wife of 20 years. Jennifer was extremely patient, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the process. She led most of the group discussions and was fair, honest, and calm, putting my wife and I at ease during what is normal...ly a stressful time. She provided me with critical advice at the right times, and I cannot overstate how happy I am with both the process and the results, thanks to her.

Jennifer was an up front, no-nonsense attorney for my divorce in Virginia. I knew from my initial consultation that she was the right fit for me. She assisted with my separation agreement and provided invaluable legal advice about maneuvering through the process and managing potentially contentious i...ssues. All of this occurred during the pandemic. She is well known and highly respected within the Northern Virginia legal systems. I recommend her unequivocally.

Jennifer helped me get through a “collaborative divorce” process that became less collaborative as time went on. She provided wise counsel, including realistic but hard-to-accept projections of where I was likely to prevail and where I would waste my resources by fighting against existing statutes... or case law. While I certainly ended up with financial spousal support payments that are extremely difficult and bitter to swallow, Jennifer helped to keep me grounded and to focus on what the collaborative process’ singular aim is: namely, the child. Did the sniping at each other magically stop between my ex-wife and me? No. Would that have been a result that any lawyer could have achieved? No. But can I rely on a well-crafted Marital Settlement Agreement to keep my child physically close to me so that I can spend beautiful and regular time with her as she grows up? Yes. And is that a direct result of Jennifer’s excellent guidance about how to tie together all of the fraught issues involved in a divorce? Absolutely. Hopefully I don’t need to hire Jennifer again for divorce-related issues. But she’d be my first choice if I required such assistance in the future.
