AWESOME LAWYER!!!

This lady is AWESOME! From the very start, she was attentive and gave excellent advice. She walked me through what to expect and how to handle each step of the process. Even between court dates, when situations came up and I sent her updates—sometimes upset—she kept me grounded and focused on our goa...ls for court. Each day we were in court, I was amazed at how she took all the information I shared and presented it clearly and powerfully to the judge and GAL. Our family is in a much happier place because of Jennifer Sherwood.

God’s gift to the Judicial System

Ms. Anderson was a heaven sent guardian angel who fought for the best outcome no matter how many obstacles came our way. She was triumphant not just because she is a brilliant woman but because she allowed herself to first see the vision despite the blurs and then allowed her heart to connect with he...r spirit forming endlessly effort and undeniable fortitude. I would recommend her 10x over and watch the return be 100 fold.

Lawyer who fights for your child's rights

Jen and Donna made me feel so welcomed, comfortable and calm in a stressful court situation. Any and all questions were answered to my understanding. Jen is very upfront with her clients in what is to come or if what I wanted could be accomplished. If anyone were to need a lawyer, Jen is who I'd refe...r. Thank you

Jen Anderson is an amazing lawyer!

I had spent some time looking for a good child custody lawyer. It really didn’t take much for me to decide to go with Jen Anderson after reviewing her page. From start to finish the process was so quick and smooth. She answered every single question I had about getting full legal and physical custody... of my children. She did an outstanding job representing me in my case and she truly cares about her clients. I never once felt left in the dark about anything that was going on with my case. I cannot express enough how grateful and pleased with having her as my lawyer. I highly recommend her!

  • 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.
