Harassment Problems

We were being legally harassed by some individuals and were extremely frustrated with this system. Jennifer listened to us, we told her the backstory and she felt like she could help us. She did just that as well as returning our calls in a timely matter. She’s very direct. So be honest with he...r about everything up front and she will do her best to simplify the process. She has integrity and she’ll fight the good fight. She’s a bulldog so don’t make her mad! Let’s save that for the ring, er, I mean the courtroom!

Jennifer is a lion! In the beginning when I initially hired her, our communications were always very brief and made me nervous that she wasn’t taking my case too seriously, BUT during my trial she was on fire! I could not have asked for a better attorney. Highly impressed and very thankful.

Traffic Violation

I received a traffic violation in another county and thanks to the excellent service I received I did not have to take any time from work to appear in court and she was able to get the violation reduced which my insurance company loved greatly. Definitely a class act and a very professional attorney....

Second Speeding Ticket

Jennifer is amazing to work with. She is helpful and accommodating. I find her to be professional, friendly, and efficient in dealing with these unfortunate situations.

Great!

As a new driver who made a mistake and didn't know what steps to take, Mrs. Hames was great about keeping me informed and guiding me through the steps we had to take. She kept her word. Communication was a little rocky but once we connected everything was smooth sailing. Great to work with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
