Posted by Wendy | October 12, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

My case was to cut her teeth on.

While she was with Whibbs & Stone, she handled SSDI & SSI cases. She never checked her secretary's work. I wasn't automatically sent copies of any of her work product. I was just told, "It takes time." I needed a copy of my appeal which her secretary gave me. Apparently, she used precious work produ...ct as forms to make the work easier. I found part way through my claim sent to the Appeals Court that I had suddenly become an older man with problems. She said she would take care of it. Within 2 weeks I received a denial from the Appeal Court, and she dropped my case like a hot potato. After my paperwork was reviewed by two other firms, I was informed that she was incompetent and had given more info than was necessary. Her sloppy "form" habits didn't help. Since there were many mistakes made, I was unable to get additional representation elsewhere. Her inept represention caused serious depression and anxiety. Maybe she learned more. I would never use her to clean my home, let alone represent me in court. I am glad so many of you feel you got good results. I didn't file a complaint. I couldn't think of her or my case for a long time. I juat didn't work. I kept going into a deep depression.

Professional, Dedicated, and Highly Recommended

Jill Warren is a brilliant lawyer. Our family has hired her on several complex family court cases and she was successful in every situation. Her dedication to our cases has allowed our family time together and our children have the opportunity to grow up together. She fought for our family and will f...ight for yours. Thank you Jill for all that you are and all that you do!

Great Lawyer

I have hired Jill on three separate cases involving child custody. Each time she not only won the cases but slammed dunked them. Jill was very thorough in every aspect of the case. She did her homework and made difficult cases very easy to win. Each of these case were complex and extremely challengi...ng. On each occasion she made her counterpart look unprepared. I would highly recommend her for any cases she is qualified to handle, especially cases involving children and the custody of children. Jill and her staff could not have been nicer. Jill and her staff were very professional with me and my family. They answered every question we had. She truly cared about our cases, and it showed in her presentation each time. She's a great lawyer.

Wonderful Attorney. Fully Informed.

Ms. Warren was a wonderful resource during my divorce case. I felt informed and feel like she walked me through the entire process. Her office was great at helping me keep track of deadlines and responding to questions the very same day. She was especially great at helping me understand complicated... financial matters. When we went to court or depositions, she was on point with what to expect from the judge and the other attorney. I never felt surprised or overwhelmed. I would highly recommend her.

Excellent attorney for child custody battle!

I hired Jill as my attorney in a somewhat high conflict custody battle that I was involved in. It even required her to travel to Apalachicola, FL and Tallahassee, FL. She was always prepared and had great insight. I appreciated her wonderful attitude. I live in TN and searched diligently for a wo...rthy advocate in my FL custody battle after my attorney in Tallahassee proved to be totally worthless. Although I did not finish my custody battle due to the mother of my child moving to TN I feel confident in saying I believe Jill Warren would have fought for the best possible outcome for me. Now custody issues are appearing on the horizon for me once again.......unfortunately the battle will be here in TN and I won't be able to use Jill. Don't hesitate to use this attorney for family law. I found her to be the absolute best! Thanks Jill Warren for your efforts!
