Posted by Alexis | January 13, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Absolutely phenomenal criminal defense attorney!

My husband had a handful of cases in hall and lumpkin county, we thought we were looking at him going to prison for 15-20 years. I was completely astonished by Jennifer’s ability to get us a plea offer ran concurrent, and the only time my husband had to serve was 6 months work release and then probat...ion. She is very versed in every aspect of law and her career background allows her to be very familiar with all the DAs and Judges, giving every client of hers the upper hand. I would recommend her to any and all, absolutely amazing attorney! 10 out of 10!

Should’ve Contacted Ms. Scalia Sooner!

I’ve been through a tremendous amount of despair with a situation I never thought I’d find myself in. Having been “thrown the book at” during my process with little to no negotiations, a year and a half in to my legal disposition , I quickly realized I wished I’d hired Ms. Jennifer Scalia in the firs...t place to represent my case. I realized this as after several failed attempts to work with my PO (who is by no means whatsoever “on my side” or there to help me) to review my case in hopes of disputing a particular portion of my sentencing. I gratefully found and contacted Ms. Scalia. She returned my call within the hour of reading my initial email to her. With no hope, I received the best response I’d heard throughout my whole ordeal, “we can certainly try, and there’s no harm in trying”. After a new court motion of appeal, Ms. Scalia was able to get a portion of my sentence expunged and I will forever be indebted to her. My only wish is that I’d hired Ms. Scalia to represent me from the moment I realized I need an attorney! If I could give anyone advice, I’d say do not second guess who should represent you and contact Jennifer Scalia immediately!

I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer

When I thought all was lost I finally found this lawyer she was a god send. Not only is she very knowledgeable about the law but she took the time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand, answered any and all questions I had and actually made me feel like I finally had someone on my s...ide. I can not say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone who needs any legal help.

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.
