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!!

Custody case

I worked with Ms. Jen Anderson on a custody case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. She was very thorough, highly responsive, and always kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, my case was resolved in my favor. I would strongly recommend Ms. Anderso...n to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dependable attorney.

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.

Best attorney around!

Jennifer, Sherwood and her staff are the best attorney’s around. She helped me out with the adoption of my son. She is quick, thorough and very dependable. She knows what she’s doing and she gets the job done. Thank you so much, Jennifer.
