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.

"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.

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.

Extremely helpful Attorney!

I am very impressed with the way Ms. Dickens handled my case. She is extremely thorough and informed me every step of the way (and it's been a LONG way.) Ms. Dickens has a lot of professional experience and it shows in her work. She was very knowledgeable in my case... right down to the last small de...tail. She gave me the "ins and outs" of my case and other possibilities that might happen and I appreciated being prepared for that. She also treated me very fair financially as well. That made the difference between being able to afford a lawyer or attempting to do this by myself. So glad I didn't try! And I'm so grateful I had her in MY corner... instead of my ex husband's!
