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!

Child custody battle with a substance abuser and physiologically challenged female.

I bryan had hired mrs fox for a child custody case from a mother whom has no where to call home, a substance abuser and physiologically challenged, who ran from a stable and safe environment only to remove me as the father to gain legal strong hold on my son,, at first we had a strong strategic plan ...but to avail,mrs fox filed at the wrong court, emailing me wrong dates and time and withdrawing key petitions, offering false court orders and backing down from opponents...Causing me to loose grip of my son, and not fully advising me of rights and what is to be expected through the proceedings leaving me vulnerable. .in the end mrs fox was emailing me with petitions with my wrong name as if I were the defendant relation... ( as if Forgetting who actually hired her)... I didn't feel as if she really cared about my case at all.. I felt she was just goin through the motions of what she had to just to receive payment.... strongly disapprove of service rendered! !!

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.
