Out of University of Florida law school in 2001, Jennifer Grant originally practiced commercial litigation in larger, prestigious Florida firms. When the need arose at the firm to train a probate and trust specialist, Jennifer filled that need. Although she still practices commercial litigation, for over the last ten years, Jennifer has specialized in trust, estate and guardianship litigation.  Jennifer helped families, beneficiaries and fiduciaries resolve issues relating to removal, prosecuting and defending fiduciaries, handling estate administrations, and appointments of guardians among other issues.  Jennifer opened up her own law practice in 2009 and treasures her ability to handle complex cases skillfully, efficiently and always with cost effectiveness in mind.  She has been selected by her peers as a "Super Lawyer" for the past several years.  Jennifer also donates her time to several charitable causes locally.

Forever grateful... I can't thank you enough!
During those difficult, painful and stressful times when the situation was very uncertain.... with all the delays from the opposing party, having Jennifer, together with Brenna made a big difference in my case. Both lawyers maintained high degree of professionalism, very caring, supportive, reassuring, very efficient -as they guided and defended me, that I got what I rightfully deserved. You certainly made a big difference in my life. May you both be blessed more as you continue to make a difference in people's lives. Thank you... thank you!

Always informed , Always answer the Phone, Always there for you.
Jennifer was not the first lawyer i worked with on this matter, but she was the final call I made. I don't claim to know the law but I know when people are pulling my chain. there were few who just keep the meter running and no results. NOT Jennifer, Wow what a difference, she explains everything and listens, she helped me understand what WE are doing. it was extremely difficult for me I could not believe, what I felt was corruption of the law. she was a fighter and a pleasure to have on my team She works incredibly hard, she got results good or bad she is not wasting my time or money. Which was so considerate of her to always consult with me and discuss, Are we getting a results worth the cost. She looks for results and not just another check. I knew every step of the way what was going on and she was always accessible. I believe in her So much and by the reviews that steered me towards her after firing several other lawyers that I knew were not working for my best interest. Honest, caring, she will have answers or get them fast. It was a terrible situation for me. opposing lawyers and judges were related, she kept me from being steamed rolled. I was emotional about it but she kept my eye on the ball, God Bless her, Thank You ,Jenifer

Simply the best, better than all the rest
Jennifer is so prudent and efficient after two discussions she agreed to a consultation to scope the challenge. I then brought her on to represent me and it turned out to be a life changing move had I try to resolve my issue on an I'll advised basis just whithin my family. Her intuition , preparation , analysis and conviction keeps you on your toes as she navigates the complex dynamics of a case and magically makes it more simple. She was rarely wrong however when challenged she listens and will use your input if you're on point. A rare exceptional talent , a wonderful compassionate family woman and just an amazing human being I'm proud to call my friend for life.

Job well done !
I had the very good fortune of having Jennifer, and her trusted assistant Allison , represent me . They couldn’t have been more professional, capable or have a better overall knowledge of the law. I was in good hands all during my ordeal. Thank you both as I am forever grateful !

I was never left in the dark
I needed a lawyer to handle the probate of a friend who passed suddenly. I found Jennifer on the Internet, and when I called, Jennifer immediately got on phone and clearly explained the process. After contacting other lawyers, some of whom took a week to return my call, I decided on Jennifer and am so glad I did. Jennifer involved me throughout the process, something which fit my personality and kept costs down. I had to have an out-of-state lawyer to handle the ancillary probate, and Jennifer far outshined that lawyer, who happened to be the one that originally wrote the will. Jennifer was always accessible, knew the answers to my questions right away, and listened to and understood my concerns. Jennifer knows how to get things done and does so in a compassionate manner.

Truly a God-send
We can't begin to express our gratitude to Jennifer for being our guiding light through an incredibly stressful battle of elder abuse and fraud. Not only did she go above and beyond, she was incredibly supportive and understanding as we worked through a very complicated situation. She acted with honesty and integrity, very hard to find these days. We came to a resolution and feel so relieved and grateful. We can't thank Jennifer enough.

So Caring, So Professional, and So Knowledgable
Jennifer represented my family through a horrible situation, defending us from outrageous and frivolous claims. She actually cares, and that matters. She fights in the ways you WANT your attorney to fight, and she advises in ways you NEED your attorney to advise. In all phases of the process, we felt fully and completely represented and would recommend her to any family or friend in situations that involve estate and probate litigation.

Feisty, first-class, hard working, highly competent attorney
Jennifer has successfully litigated a complex case involving my elderly brother who was exploited by unscrupulous individuals taking advantage of him financially and neglecting his health until he became disabled. Because of his disability, I became his court appointed guardian. As such, I closely interacted with Jennifer over a 6-month period until successful resolution of the case. My brother was a victim of a “marriage of convenience “to a woman, 40 years his junior, whose sole purpose was to obtain legal status and steal his assets. This was a difficult and complicated case because it involved elder abuse by greedy and inconsiderate individuals with suspected ties to organized crime. They hired prominent high-priced attorneys to defend their case using lies, deception and disregard for the courts causing unnecessary postponements and delays. However, Jennifer would have none of it as she doggedly pursued our case doing extensive research uncovering unsavory past of the perpetrators. With this information in hand, Jennifer was able to gain an upper hand and make the perpetrators comply with our demands. It was a great relief for our family that Jennifer was able to recover some of the stolen assets and successfully annul the marriage. While Jennifer has a pleasant personality, she is a hard working, highly competent, first-class attorney who achieves excellent results for her clients and therefore I highly recommend her to anyone requiring an expert at litigation, trusts and estates.

Top Notch Counselor who Understands Guardianships
I am so grateful for Jennifer Grant. My sister and I hired her for a complicated guardianship/Power of Attorney issue arising for my elderly aunt with dementia. Her sister who had been neglecting her filed for guardianship, but we had Power of Attorney. It was an unfortunate and ugly family situation. Jennifer handled it very gracefully. She was able to get the case settled so we avoided a hearing/trial and ultimately a formal guardianship. She is extremely trustworthy and was always available to discuss the matter. Jennifer always sought to save us money and go for the best, most efficient solution while letting us know all the possibilities. She knows when to apply pressure to opposing counsel and is a superior negotiator. Lastly, she is an awesome person who was a pleasure to work with. I hope we have no further issues, but if anything arises, she would be the first call.

The best of the best
Jennifer is the best. She was hired for our case after a year and a half of no results, and within a few months we had settled everything. She is professional, kind, tough, and a serious go-getter. Her knowledge of the field in which she specializes, combined with her determination to get our case handled in a timely manner, ensured a flawless execution of results. Although she likely had several cases at the same time, she made us feel like we were her top priority. I would never want anyone else. Thank you, thank you, thank you for looking out for our well being, for ensuring that we were treated fairly, and for helping us close a very painful chapter of our lives. The gratitude I have will never be able to be fully put into words. There couldn’t have been a better person for this job.

A truly exceptional attorney and a superb person.
After talking to 11 attorneys (on the phone) about a complex family dispute, I hired Jennifer Grant. My sister, who had been estranged from my mother on and off for years, had taken advantage of my elderly and failing mother (I lived out of state but visited at least once a month; my sister lived close by) and had me and my grown children written out of the will (a will that had been in place for decades). From the first phone call with Jennifer I felt like she not only understood the issues of my case, but also how highly emotional this was for me (my mother and I were very close until my sister "took over."). Jennifer was also highly recommended by several other attorneys whom I spoke to as well (always a good sign). Jennifer wasted no time getting to work on my case -- she was diligent, efficient and meticulous in her preparation. I went to Florida for the first court hearing and was very impressed with not only her preparation for my case, but also how professional and polite she was to the court officers, as well as everyone (including the opposing council) she met (she is also incredibly nice!). In less than 3.5 months we had a settlement (a miracle since my sister swore she wasn't going to give us anything), and I could put this horrific episode behind me, and get back to mourning my mother. Jennifer is smart --she seems to know every law and statue off the top of her head - hard working, sincerely caring, and has a true sense of right and wrong. She's also realistic, and made sure I understood the big picture and not just what I "wished" were true/fair. I also very much admired Jennifer's integrity -- which I could see shine through every step of the way. I am deeply grateful for the impeccable work that Jennifer did on my behalf and could not recommend her more highly! ** Please excuse typos

Extraordinary – You can’t find better representation
My siblings were in litigation over my mother’s estate for 3 years and I managed to keep out of it until the trustee put me in the middle of the chaos. I chose Jennifer not only for her qualifications and experience but also for the outstanding reviews about her and her work. Every single review was spot on in everything that was said. She dealt with two other litigators and facilitated a settlement within several weeks. However very soon after, one sibling refused to honor the agreement. Again, Jennifer brought the litigation to a quick resolution. Through her hard work, determination, and sense of justice, she identified a statute that showed my sibling was negligent despite having well regarded legal counsel. As a result of Jennifer’s action, this sibling agreed to a settlement very much in my favor within weeks. All this happened in a period of 4 months (which included major holidays) whereas my siblings had been litigating for several years. If you want something done, retain Jennifer as your counsel. She got the job done efficiently and quickly. You can’t find better legal counsel.

Fantastic Lawyer
My prior lawyer :pussyfooted" around for nearly a year on what should have been a simple matter. I changed lawyers to Jennifer Grant. Her fee was reasonable and in a month my legal dispute was resolved to my complete satisfaction. She quickly understood the problem, discussed with me options as how to proceed, was very professional and knowledgeable as to the law and proceeded accordingly.

A moral lawyer who will fight for whats right
Jennifer Grant is one of the few lawyers, no, few people who still has a decent moral compass. I can do nothing but give high praise and have the upmost respect for this woman. She fought for me, tooth and nail, when the opposing counsel attempted everything in their power to do me over. She was honest with me when things were getting tough and she got aggressive with the opposing team when the time was right. She understands what she is doing and that makes it easier on you when going throuhg this difficult process. I know nothing about law and how it is practiced but I do no genuine people and Jennifer is a gem. I know she was juggling multiple cases and family life through our conversations but she never made me feel like i was second fiddle. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. If you want someone who will keep your best interests in mind, fight for what's right, and never beat around the bush then she is the lawyer you need. Jennifer is a great lawyer and even a better human being. She is aces.

Great Litigator!
Jennifer successfully litigated a very complex, high stakes, corporate issue for our company. She was always professional, thorough, thoughtful and responsive. Jennifer is always in charge and is not shy to speak her mind, no matter the opposition. She possesses a keen ability to foresee and preempt the opposing attorney's next move, maintaining her position of power. She is not afraid of hard work and always had our best interest at heart whether or not her recommendation meant her billing hours may be reduced. I highly recommend Jennifer!

EXCELLENT CHOICE
Jennifer was an excellent choice as my attorney for a case against a large company. She was a good listener, patient, and was very clear in explaining her strategy and how she was handling the case. She also made herself very accessible during the case and kept me well informed. She is a winner! I would recommend Jennifer to anyone needing legal assistance in her field.
