Amazing Law Practice

After visiting several law offices, I knew that there was a great chance that I would want to work with this office because of the friendliness of the staff upon entering the building. The attorney that was available to speak with me was Mrs. Young. It took me about a year to actually hire her beca...use I wasn't sure that I was really ready. After contacting her again, she was ready to take the case. She talked to me like we had just met the day before and even though I'm sure she had to study her notes to remember who I was, she made me feel like she knew me and my situation right away. I felt like her only client at the time, which I knew wasn't the case. Mrs. Young gave me all of the details and what to expect throughout the process. She kept me informed throughout the case and when things happened in the case beyond her control, she and her team made phone calls, sent emails, or whatever they needed to do until the situation was handled. Mrs. Young called the night before court to make sure we were prepared and to answer any questions or address any of our concerns. Her personality and attitude were always positive, which definitely helped to make me less nervous. Needless to say, we won our case, but I honestly never doubted we would, because Mrs. Young was our attorney. I would recommend this law office to anyone!

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.
