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.

Very little guidance from this attorney

Ms. Fox came highly recommended from others, but my situation did not end so well. I felt I had to settle out of court due to the lack of attention and guidance I was getting during my case. I was also informed by Ms. Fox that the case was not going the way she was expecting or used to and she had pu...lled in her partner to discuss. In the settlement meeting Ms. Fox was unaware of some of the terms of my PSA and had to ask the other laywer to show her some of the items for referance. I felt I had to speak up and defend for myself - at that time Mrs. Fox pulled me out of the meeting and said "you are a strong woman but you dont want to go up against me". Not exactly what you want to hear from the person who is supposed to be on your side. There was also a chain of emails I was copied on between Ms. Fox and the other attorney were at one point Ms Fox commented "my client has told me XYZ, is this true?" This made me very uncofortable that my attorney was sharing what I told her with the opposing attorney and asking for verification - poor choice in my opinion and did not make me feel I could trust her with my very private information any longer. Again, Jennifer came highly recommended from someone she successfully represented. In my situation I felt she was uninvolved and provided little guidance. Even once telling me a story how she prepped very little for a case, but "turned it on in the courtroom and kicked butt". That should have been a red flag.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Although she works in many areas of the law, she has honed her skills as an extremely effective family-law litigator. She knows when to proceed to trial and when to help her clients mitigate costs and potentially negative outcomes. Without a doubt, she is always willing to take risks for her clients, and is an effective advocate in the courtroom when necessary."
