CHILD CUSTODY

I highly recommend Ms. Jennifer Simmons and her paralegal David for legal representation. They both were extremely professional and made things much less stressful for me. From my first initial consultation, she immediately made me feel comfortable, and successfully represented me during this very ...difficult time in my life. She listened to me and addressed all my immediate concerns. After I retained her as my legal counsel, she continued her professional representation. I have since then recommended several others to her for custody, divorce, support, etc. She is a wonderful, very knowledgeable attorney and I will continue to call upon her firm if I or others may need legal representation in the future.

Legal Service_Jennifer Simmons

In the past 6 years I have required legal counsel and legal services to resolve issues associated with my divorce on three separate occassions. After extensive research I found the law office of Ms. Jennifer Simmons. Her professionalism, knowledge of the legal system, ability to express my desires ...in written documents, and her skill at articulating my case in court were exceptional. Without her knowledge and legal prowess, the outcome of my case may not have turned out as well as it did.. In addition to her legal skills, I found her to be very personable, easy to talk to, and someone who understood what I was hoping to accomplish. From a financial perspective, her rates were reasonable, she never billed me excessively, or charged me for services she didn't provide. My experience with her law office was absolutely phenomenal. If you require legal services in the Northern Virginia area, she is the one to call.

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.
