Not a good Person

Omg… saw some reviews AND just had to write. She and Edward Barnes represented me over 14 years ago!!! I was in a custody battled with my ex-girlfriend. Absolutely NO legal, or biological, or relative connection. This person had NO legal ability to try and gain access to my child .. however the court...s allowed this case to have “life”. But it was ALL about $$$. Jennifer Crossland and Ed Barnes just went for $$. I was paying over $15,000 a month (it was 2009) to protect me and my biological 4 year old child. It was ILLEGAL what the courts and THIS legal team did to me and my family. They should be disbarred from practice!

Works Hard

Jennifer works really hard for cases she’s sure to win. From consult (Infortunately, I took her callous attitude and complete lack of bedside manner as a positive at this point) to preparing for court she did nothing to guide me through a custody case or help me understand what was best or happening.... She treated me like I did not matter. It felt more like she was ready to work with the other attorney for an abusive, alcoholic drug addict father. I sincerely believe Jennifer Crossland needs to only handle contested divorce cases. If you have a sensitive child custody case - and you and your children have been emotionally abused by your spouse you will leave her feeling worse than you did after years of fighting just to get to the point you could safely go pay her $300 for a consult and another 3k for absolutely nothing.

Help when help was needed the most

I went through one of the most difficult divorce cases ever with opposing lawyers attacking at every turn. Jennifer was able to keep me calm and focused throughout the entire process. The final outcome was well in my favor, the excellent rating in every category above is not an overstatement; it is ...the truth.
