Review Jennifer Dixon

Highly Recommend

Posted by

I found Jennifer through the EAP at work. During my initial consultation I knew I would hire her as my attorney. I needed someone who would be knowledgeable, professional, efficient, direct and transparent about the fees and I found all those qualities and more in Jennifer. I highly recommend her!

Outstanding legal representation

Posted by

I went through a painful divorce where child custody was handled in NC and the divorce itself was handled in another state. To make matters more confusing, Jennifer took over my case midway through the divorce and custody as my original family law attorney retired and recommended her. She handled it like the professional she is. She got right up to speed, consulted with my divorce attorneys in another state and didn't miss a thing. Couldn't be happier with her and am not going to use her for estate planning.
