Jace is superb. I hired him for a contentious divorce involving abuse, and made it clear to him I wanted things as civil and calm as possible. It would have been in his financial interest to create a war in order to boost his fees, and he did not do so. He remained calm in the face of chaos and gave...

Jace guided me through a long exhausting divorce. He knows the law and will do his best to get you what you deserve. He is honest and direct with you. If I ever need a lawyer again I would definitely hire him.

"I have worked with Jace, and found he is extremely dedicated to achieving a good result for his clients. Jace listens to his clients and works tirelessly to achieve their objectives. He has great experience in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, and has devoted his practice to the specialty of family law."
"I have known Jace for many years and he knows the law as well as anyone. I think what sets him above most other lawyers overall is his ability to make his clients feel valued and properly represented."
"Jace is a great lawyer. He has a good command of the law, is easy to work with, and is committed to resolving his cases in the most dignified manner possible for his clients while still achieving their objectives."
"I've known Jace since 2006 when we clerked together, and more recently have had a case, a contested adult guardianship, on which we are co-counsel. Throughout that time and in our current case, I've found Jace to be both diligent in his research and preparation and sensitive to the fact the letter of the law ultimately affects people: his clients. Jace's technical skill and personal warmth make him particularly well-suited to family law."
"Jace is a solid family law attorney who is an effective advocate for his clients while enjoying the respect from his colleagues and judges."
