Extremely Competent Attorney

First I want to say the Ms. Warren took over my case from another local attorney who was not honest, trustworthy, or competent. My final hearing was scheduled only 60 or so days away and she never even flinched about it. My experience with Ms. Warren from the beginning was professional, courteous..., and ethical at all times. There was never a moment I felt out of the loop with my case due to the excellent communication from both her and her paralegal, Kim Plant. this was not the case with my first attorney. Ms. Warren took the time to understand my case and its dynamics, utilizing multiple communication avenues due to my being located out of state and approximately 900 miles away. We met the day prior to the hearing and she was excellent with not only preparing me for the process but also giving me realistic expectations as to what might happen. She answered all my questions thoroughly and consistently. On the day of my hearing, Ms. Warren displayed her incredible litigation skills by executing a complete plan of response to the divorce petition filed against me. She also was able to do it in a respectful and professional demeanor toward my (ex)wife throughout the proceeding. I would highly recommend Ms. Warren for any case especially family law and/or divorce.

Such a Blessing!!

I don't live in Florida but my ex wife and children do. This made it very difficult for me to find an attorney. My ex wife had stopped following the original mediation almost immediately, including the time sharing agreement. Over the past 5 years I had 2 attorneys and spent thousands of dollars, ... with no prevail. Someone recommended Jill Warren to me, and after my first phone consultation I felt that she was very competent and compassionate about what I have been dealing with. Jill and her staff always kept me informed and anytime I called or sent an email, I received a response within a few hours. Within a few months she had a mediation date set and my ex wife's attorney requested a deposition before hand. This actually turned out to be a blessing for me. Jill spent two hours preparing me for what I should expect and I felt very comfortable. Jill is extremely meticulous and knowledgeable about family law and it was really confirmed when she was in action. At the deposition Jill was very persistent and diligent while questioning my ex wife and made sure she clarified her answers and immediately followed with another question. Due to Jill's quick thinking she asked all the right questions and proved my ex wife was in contempt in several areas. This was a big win for my case, and the mediation went just as well. My ex wife has to now meet me half way every other weekend, and my child support was also reduced. Thanks to Jill I was able to visit with my children immediately following mediation. What a Blessing!! Although I give God all the praise and glory for allowing the truth to be revealed and giving me favor over this situation, I know that it was through the dedication and expertise of Jill Warren that paved the way. Thank you so much Jill Warren!!
