Very professional attorney!

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Jennifer Dickens of the Dickens Law Firm. She understood my needs and approached my case with a fierce determination to achieve my desired outcome. Throughout the process, Attorney Dickens was proactive and responsive, keeping me infor...med at all times. Her assertiveness, knowledge and dedication were reassuring to me during a difficult and stressful situation in my life. Attorney Dickens effectively and successfully secured the results I was hoping for. Her results-oriented approach makes her invaluable in a legal battle, and I am glad she was on my side. I highly recommend Jennifer Dickens to anyone needing legal representation!

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.

Phenomenal Attorney

I have never been in a legal matter all of my life. However upon a very sensitive, family matter involving a child we knew we needed legal advice! After seeking several others, we were in a conversation with a fellow attorney who highly recommended Attorney Jennifer Dickens! Upon this fellow Attorney... hearing a snippet of our situation, she strongly recommended Attorney Dickens for our matter. From the initial consultation, the extensive phone calls, text messages, emails and consistent communication from Attorney Dickens and her team; we really don't have adequate words to convey our satisfaction with this office. This was a very intricate, delicate, emotional and sensitive case! Attorney Dickens represented us professionally & ethically! She and her office did their due diligence to acquire the necessary materials to represent us and achieve our desired outcome. Attorney Dickens is fair, honest, straightforward but compassionate in her approach to you and the sensitivity of your matter. She was flexible with legal cost and was willing to work with us upon retaining her services! We showed up on the day of our hearing confident and optimistic. She came through for us and we are so grateful for the outcome we received! This was never about us and we shared that on day one of our consultation. She kept our desire in mind as she navigated this process. That meant the world to us!! She provides multiple scenarios, gives you the law and explains everything simply! We highly recommend Attorney Jennifer Dickens for your Family Legal Matters.

Great Lawyer!!

Ms. Dickens is very knowledgeable and experienced in the courtroom. I couldn't ask for a better attorney to represent me. She was clear and to the point with ALL the information I need for my case. She gave me ALL the possibilities that could happen so I wouldn't be surprise of the outcome. Thanks t...o Ms. Dickens professional knowledge and aggressive stand, my case work out in my best interest. I would hire her over and over for any issue I have but I hope we don't have to meet in court again. LOL!! Jennifer Dickens is an OUSTANDING lawyer and will represent you to the fullest extent possible and for your BEST interest.

"The-go-to-attorney" in Jacksonville

I hired Ms. Dickens after being sued for paternity by the father who had never been involved in my child's life since day one. As one can imagine, this is probably the most painful, sensitive time you can go through. From day one, Ms. Dickens was supportive, strong and confident which lifted me out o...f the scared and worried place I had found myself. Once I had retained The Dickens Law Firm, I felt like my burden was no longer mine to carry. She is attentive and available by phone and even text what seemed to be 24/7. She was so thorough with the process and let me ask every question I had without ever rushing me. I felt like her only client! I cannot recommend Ms. Dickens highly enough. She is personable and down to earth and truly understands the emotional turmoil a process like this puts on a person. With rates that were very affordable, I was able to survive this painful process and in the end, came out with even more than expected or promised. The Dickens Law Firm truly saved my family. I am so grateful and cannot thank you enough.
