Heinous and Cruel

Jennifer Dickens raped my emotions and lied to me during a traumatic period of my life. Jennifer knew another lawyer had lied to me and over charged me for a divorce that he never helped me fight. Jennifer encouraged me to contact the Florida Bar and report that lawyer; yet she did the same thing ...to me. During the consultation, she shared she would help me fight my case and be redeemed. Yet, after she took my money all I heard was "no","I can't" and you "don't have a case." I was devastated by her lack of representation or care. She is a horrible person and lawyer. Instead of helping women during one of the most emotional times of their lives, she annihilates their hearts and leaves them more damaged than before meeting her. Never trust her, what she did to me was haneious and cruel.

Simply Chasing Money $$$

Jennifer Dickens is willing to represent clients solely for her own financial gain, regardless of how outrageous or baseless the claims in the petition may be. She does not conduct proper research or require her clients to provide any kind of evidence to support the serious allegations they make. As ...long as the client is paying her, she will lend her name to anything. She should be fined or even disbarred for not taking her professional responsibilities seriously enough to ensure the credibility of the claims made by her and her clients.

Lazy and inconsistent

Ms.Dickens has not been doing her job very well. My case has been drawn out for months. She places hidden fees within contacting her. I’ve paid the fees she has asked for when she has asked, however she charged every time I’ve called or emailed her and now she’s asking for more money. I’ve only spoke...n to her once. Her assistant is the only one who has spoken with me. I haven’t seen any paperwork and it has been months.

As an attorney who has been practicing for approximately 22 years, who tirelessly fights for individuals, this post is contrary to everything I stand for. I care deeply for the interests of all my clients and utilize my best efforts to zealously advocate for a client while doing so at reasonable, affordable rates. I believe in moving cases along as swiftly as possible, although the court process does not always work that way, as there are many factors outside of an attorney's control. Litigation, especially in family law, is a difficult, emotional process for anyone to have to go through. I wish this writer all the best even though I respectfully disagree with the content of this post and would welcome an opportunity to discuss this matter personally with the writer.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Ms. Dickens is more interested in herself and cash than her client. More bling than substance. Failed to represent me in an effective manner. Not well prepared and out of her depth against and experienced litigator.

The very nature of family court cases, combined with the adversarial judicial process, can evoke many emotions. This is especially true if the Judge rules contrary to the desired outcome. I have dedicated 17 years to effectively helping families in crisis navigate the turbulent waters of the legal system. The claims, while not representative of the typical client's experience, cannot be properly responded to given the author's anonymity and the ethics of confidentiality governing attorneys. Nonetheless, I wish the individual all the best. I will continue to conscientiously, diligently, and aggressively serve those in need.
