About Jennifer

Board Certified Specialist in Family Law

As the child of divorced parents, I have seen firsthand the stress the legal system can have on a family.  I was fortunate in that my parents had a wonderful support system comprised of other family members and their respective attorneys, making the legal process smooth and manageable.  It is this background that led me to law school, and specifically to the practice of Family Law.  My goal continues to be to dedicate my career to ensuring other families have a similar experience to mine.  I consistently strive to be a strong support system for those going through a difficult period in their lives by providing impeccable service and a sympathetic ear. I believe that with the right service and support, families can successfully navigate their legal matter and move forward in a positive manner.

Total professional and pleasure to work with

Posted by

In June of 2017 I came into the law office of Marcellino and Tyson with the burden of facing divorce and separation from my family. During my initial consultation I was unsure about my situation until I began speaking with Jennifer Moore about my situation. She was completely upfront, transparent and most importantly honest about my situation. During the entire process of her representing me she and her staff kept me informed every step of the way. They couldn’t have been more professional and caring about me and my family. I give Jennifer, Alicia, Miranda, Jessica, Brooks, Tanya and Mary all the praise and a heartfelt thank you for your services. Jennifer, you and your staff have allowed my family and I to move forward placing us all in a better place. Jennifer, I’m appreciative and thankful for you guiding me through this entire process. Wishing you all the very best.
