Best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads

If you are looking for a divorce attorney Jen is the one you need to retain. She is very professional, responds quickly and she really knows her stuff. She made my divorce case easy to manage and she really showed me she cared about the success of the case. You will get your monies worth.

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

THE BEST LAWYER IN THE 757!!! I hired Jen Anderson for my divorce. The consultation was thorough, she explained the divorce process, and she opened the floor all of my questions. She made the process simple for someone who has no idea what to expect during a divorce. With each document that needed to... be submitted to the court, she explained what I was signing and why. She remained in contact with me via phone and email. I felt that my needs were cared for and she was honest with me the entire process. Hopefully I won't ever need her services again BUT I can say that if YOU are considering Anderson Law - RETAIN HER!!

Honest quick and thorough

Mis Anderson was very transparent with me and honest from the very beginning about my situation (divorce) because of this I decided to hire her. Within 48 hours my husband and his lawyer were magically willing to work with me to finalize my divorce after weeks of being ignored. I was able to get ever...ything I asked for and a final divorce decree within a month (without having to go to court once). I’m very grateful for her support during my divorce! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer :)

Amazing Divorce Attorney

After unsatisfactory experiences with previous counsel, I was referred to Jen by a friend. During our initial consultation, I was immediately drawn to her expertise and approach. Unlike my previous attorney, Jen was responsive and accessible. She promptly returned my calls, texts, or emails within 24... hours, a testament to her efficient management of her clientele. As this was my first divorce, I was unfamiliar with the legal process. Jen patiently explained the intricacies of the proceedings and guided me through the necessary steps. Her candid and straightforward approach fostered a trusting relationship. If you seek an attorney who prioritizes your well-being while maintaining professionalism, I highly recommend considering Jen as your legal representative.
