Thank you!

Jen helped us get guardianship of our kid in time for us to enroll her for the new school year. The process was very clear and straightforward. Thanks so much for the help!

10 out of 10, would recommend!

I hired Jennifer Giles as my attorney and I am very happy that I did so. Her communication was clear and consistent. The process went smoothly and I’m pleased with my experience.

Jen is THE BEST!

I had retained a different large, we'll advertised firm for my divorce and child custody case and had quite a few issues. They seemed only concerned about taking my money, but were not timely in submitting documents to the court or in responding to me. This was very frustrating. They also did not see...m concerned about what I wanted to accomplish vs what they thought I should want. Overall very frustrating. A family friend referred me to Jen and immediately everything was different. She is easy to work with and made sure my case kept moving. She always had options for me on how we could proceed and worked hard to get what I wanted accomplished. She was always timely in her responses and was there when I needed her. I CANNOT recommend Jen enough! You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

When simple things become hard.

I used Jen as representation for what should have been a simple divorce. As the title implies, it ended up being a little more than that. Jen was amazing every step of the way. I never felt nervous to ask a question and Jen made sure that I was not taken advantage of. I would recommend her to all of... my friends. She is a kind, caring person and an amazing lawyer. You won’t go wrong with her.

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.
