Excellent law practice

Jennifer represented me in my custody and child support case. It was very stressful and difficult for me but she is AMAZING. I would recommend her to anyone seeking representation.

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.

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.
