Greates Divorce Attorney

Jennifer was recommended to me by my marriage counselor and I am forever grateful to her for pointing me in Jennifer's direction. Jennifer was totally understanding and jumped right into preparation for my divorce. We had to go to court many times during the divorce process and ended up in an actua...l trial. Jennifer was there each time and was well prepared and a tiger in fighting for my rights - I came out well ahead in each encounter, and the trial decision was better than I ever could have hoped for. Her rates were quite reasonable and I got an immediate refund of those funds that were not expended in the process. I highly recommend her, and firmly believe that anyone who doesn't use her legal services is accepting less than the BEST.

Highly recommended

We highly recommend the services of this firm and will definitely use the services of this firm if we need legal services in the future. They were very effective, knowledgeable, professional and easy to deal with. They were also very much on top of things and made sure the right things happened at th...e right time. I felt the amount of time billed was very fair and reasonable. In short, we were completely satisfied and recommend the firm highly.

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.

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.
