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.

Avvo Rating

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.
