Very Successful in Winning My Case

I unexpectedly found myself in need of legal counsel. I learned that it is a very personal and emotional decision to find someone with whom who you feel confident in and trust with your family matters during a very stressful time. After calling and speaking with numerous attorneys in the area with ...little success, I was referred by a colleague to Jennifer Fox. In speaking directly with Ms Fox I was easily convinced that this was the attorney for my case. Ms Fox took the time to listen to my story, outlined a legal plan of action, showed professional support and when she stated that she would be happy to represent me I immediately felt comfortable, and somewhat less stressed, about my situation. Throughout the course of my case I found Ms Fox to be very articulate and well versed in the aspects of family law. Overall she is smart, focused, and dedicated to presenting the truth and the facts. I liked that she was very straightforward. Ms Fox was able to explain complicated legal matters in a way that I understood them and provided me with nothing short of very successful, professional support and guidance from beginning to end. Her Para-Legal support, Cassandra, is also very patient, knowledgeable and supportive and talked me through complicated matters several times. Jennifer Fox came highly recommended to me and I am paying the favor forward by recommending her.

Could not be more satisfied

I am grateful to have found a lawyer who was forthcoming on matters dealing with my case. Mrs. Fox was extremely prepared when it came time to stand before a judge. I felt like she really took the time to know the details of my case. While in the courtroom she was a force. I can say without a doub...t that she cares about the outcome of her cases for the sake of her clients. Knowing that I have a lawyer that does not only fight for me but also looks out for my best interest provides me a peace of mind. There are some lawyers that tell you the truth and refocus their clients to what the realities are in their case. Then there are lawyers who would prefer to let a judge do that for them. I am pleased that Mrs. Fox is the former!

Wonderful!

I met Jennifer in distress of my divorce and custody of my son as my ex had filed for full custody. She led me to understand the process and was patient with me and my million questions through every step of the way. She took note of my wishes and put them into actions seamlessly. I did not have to w...orry when I was under her care. If there was something I needed to know, she informed me immediately. When I feared I might lose my everything as a mother, she took care of everything and the end result was even better than I ever could have imagined. She was thorough and knowledgeable of her jurisdiction and family law. Her experience shows through her handling of her files and decisive actions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who ever finds themselves in my shoes. You will be in great hands!

divorce/custody

Jennifer was recommend to me by another attorney to handle my hostile divorce/custody case. I had originally hired a different attorney but was unhappy with them. Fortunately, Jennifer agreed to take the case and I am so thankful for her services. She was very proactive from the onset, quickly put ...my malicious ex in his place, and refused to compromise with his unreasonable demands. She spent many hours on my case and got me the results I wanted. I was ultimately granted full custody of my child and a no-contact order with my ex. Jennifer was knowledgeable, organized always well-prepared for court dates/meetings throughout the case. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a divorce/custody attorney, and would definitely hire her again.

Dave- divorce/separation

Mrs. Fox came highly recommended to me from a friend who was very satisfied with the level of service she provided during his separation and divorce. I am very thankful for his recommendation. I had been dealing with an unfaithful wife for seven years fearful to pursue a divorce knowing the impact ...it may have on our twelve year old daughter. This was the hardest decision I've ever made. Mrs. Fox was very understanding of my situation. She took the time to explain that although divorce is hard on everyone involved, it is sometimes necessary. Her explanation of the law as it pertained to my divorce was thorough and professional. I liked the fact that she listened to what I wanted to get out of the divorce, then provided legal options, giving me the freedom to direct the outcome. When my wife's attorney redirected and made changes to our agreement, she was prompt in getting them to me and explaining what the changes meant and how they would impact my situation. When all parties met to discuss the agreement, many thoughts and ideas were mentioned within the two hour meeting. Not being a person who likes to make quick decisions, I felt confident based on her responses that she was looking after my best interest. She kept an open line of communication by phone and E-Mail regardless if it was after normal business hours. She even recommended counseling for my daughter and I to get through these tough times which made me feel like she truly cared for me as a person and not just a client.
