This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Smart but indifferent.

My general impression is that Jenny is smart and no nonsense. Perhaps a good person to watch a basketball game at the local bar. Doesn't really get riled up in the drama of the case. I liked that. She's a straight shooter. Quick to understand the situation. Very efficient and clearly has experience. ...Yet that's also a major problem if you have a complex case. I think she let her staff do the brunt of the work. Cheaper in the short term but miscommunication errors were made. Cost me more in the end. No apology... just blame towards me. Somehow the customers fault. Jenny said my case could not be settled. Well my next lawyer got it done at a tiny fraction of what Jenny wanted to charge me. I made the hard decision of finding a new lawyer several months prior to the trial. The difference of my new lawyer was night and day. I also had a later chance to see emails from the opposing lawyer and it was clear some of the issues were because Jenny was dropping the ball. Never responding to the opposing emails. Jenny was hard to get in contact for me as well. Emails were infrequently answered. Never was given her direct number. Voicemail/answering service was the norm when calling the office. Once again a huge difference from my new lawyer who would respond to texts and emails late at night or even on weekends. It was clear that my new lawyer was vested in my case. Likely spent late nights thinking about how the resolve this two year hellish ordeal. In stark contrast to speak to Jenny, I had to schedule a phone appointment during her normal business hours. Finally, the divorce process was a very private affair for me. I did not appreciate the US Postal letters she sent that had her huge logo written all over it "TRIANGLEDIVORCE". Should be discrete. Overall I could not in good faith recommend Jenny. I think for a straight forward case she's likely very capable. For a complex case that required some actual personal attention... I think she's not really invested to make the effort. In the end I don't think she really cared. Just another client and paycheck. Just my opinion.

Replied last January 1, 2020

Thanks for your feedback, Edward. We will take all suggestions for improvement seriously. We send PDFs via email for those who do not want to receive US Mail. Just like every person has a different personality, every lawyer has a different style. We were happy to hear you found one which met your expectations of availability. Our commitment to clients is that we do not take unscheduled incoming calls, emails or other communications when we are working on other matters. This policy allows us to be much more productive and usually results in getting cases resolved more efficiently for clients. We find this to be much better than the endless game of "phone tag" common in many industries. Email and texting are major distractions to productivity, and our policy is to have our team copied on all emails such that no email goes through the cracks while we are working on other matters. Replying to email is scheduled on our calendars. Or sometimes is scheduled as a call or an in-person meeting because a dialogue is often more productive and efficient in many situations than multiple emails in rapid-fire sequencing. I am not aware of issues going unaddressed in your matter, and I welcome a call from you to address any specifics such that we may improve your feelings of our representation, as well as improve our processes. Your email has persuaded me to provide our communication policy and availability policy in writing to all of our clients so that others do not experience the frustrations and/or misunderstandings that you have related. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We are also glad to hear in this review that your matter was able to resolve without court, which was our shared goal as well. While we cannot commit on the specifics of your cases, I would assume your ex must have hired new counsel in order for the matter to finally resolve after the hellish two years (as you called it above) and/or she finally agreed to mediation. Whichever the reason, we are happy for you and know you are happy to have the matter resolved. We wish you the best in the New Year.

Knowledgeable, cost-conscious and genuine

I had Jenny represent me in my separation process. From day one it was clear to me that her style of work reflected ethics and a desire for a fair settlement. Jenny is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. Recognizing how the legal system works she steered me in the right direction on many occasi...ons. She listened to me but more importantly assisted my case without ever getting into nonsensical arguments. This comforted my situation many times and ultimately led to a fair settlement where I could preserve ALL that was important to me. Jenny is the best all-around and knows how to navigate through the rather arduous process with ease and comfort. To summarize she is: 1) Skilled, able and intelligent - made sure ALL my interest was honored. 2) Responsive, thorough and organized - responded to my needs even on Christmas holidays. 3) Cost-conscious with her legal fees and never wasted my or her time

Excellent Attorney and Mediator!

I consulted with attorney Bradley for my divorce (although I practice law too) and also have seen her as a mediator. She is very experienced, knowledgeable, and will tell it to you straight. No puffery or silly gamesmanship as I have seen with other attorneys. I highly recommend Ms. Bradley as one of... the top divorce attorneys in the area.

Highly Recommend

My experience with Jenny Bradley was great! She was friendly and professional, and guided me through every step of drawing up my pre-nup. I never worried, as she had my best interest at heart and she made what could have been a stressful process, seamless.

Divorce & Prenuptial Agreement

I have know Jennifer for many years now, she helped me through a divorce and now with a prenuptial agreement for me second marriage. Bottom line, she is the best when it comes to working hard for her clients. She understands your needs and works hard to get what is right for you. I would recommend Je...nny to anyone who wants a "Power House" lawyer on your side!! Jenny is not only my lawyer but she is also my friend. Her assistant Chloe is also just as amazing as Jenny is.
