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!

Absolute BEST lawyer money can buy!

Jennifer Giles is a gem. I was a wreck when my ex told me he wanted a divorce. I did not know my rights, I felt intimidated, dazed, and distraught. Jennifer Giles helped me from fear to empowerment. This lawyer is caring, knowledgable, professional and proficient. She addressed ALL my concerns in a t...imely manner. She took care of matters looking into the future for which I am still grateful. She knows her stuff! I recommend Jennifer Giles to anyone going through a divorce. She took excellent care of me so I can now take care of myself and my child. Do yourself a favor and retain this lawyer. You will be grateful you did.

Review of Jennifer Giles

Jennifer is a very knowledgeable in her area of law that has been extremely helpful with my difficult case that has spanned many hearings. Her advise and counsel has been exactly what I should do in each situation. I completely trust her which is a great source of comfort in a very difficult time i...n our family. She has navigated thru many difficult custody issues. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who finds themselves in a situation that they would need a Divorce Attorney. She is very calm, understanding and has a great sense of humor that can help when the situation is very tense.

Best Lawyer I Never Want To Use Again

A fighter. Will dig deep into your case. Shoot you straight. Makes a great effort, and communication is above average. She is a good person. Many of those with no soul in this world of divorce lawyers . 3 years of learning me, my case, my ex, my ex's mom, every one. She only got better. Financial adv...ice well worth taking. Whether she meets you at the bar to get a drink and sign some papers, or throws her suit on and walks into the court room, she is there to work hard. A college athlete. Active lifestyle and healthy person. Total package.
