Absolutely the best Lawyer in West Palm and Port st Lucie !!! No Exaggeration !!!

Ms. Jones just handled my divorce case, she explained in detail the whole process and was extremely aware of my feelings, I went from seeing my child 4 days a month to 15 days a month. This Lady is amazing !!! The way she handled my case shows her experience and knowledge of matrimonial law and chil...d custody. I will completely recommend Ms. Jones, she's worth every penny. I could have never gotten the same result with other lawyers.

Very helpful

We needed precise local guidance regarding grandparents' options in a case affecting our family. Louise is very experienced in these matters and gave us clear information about the law and government practices.

READY FOR EVERY TWIST AND TURN

Over the years I have worked with many attorneys and learned that they must have your best interest at heart or you are fighting a losing battle. Louise Jones is an attorney that will fight your battle to the bitter end. This year I found myself in a complicated situation that I never thought my da...ughter and I would survive. I put my trust in her and laid all of the cards on the table. She never doubted me and I never doubted her. Louise and her entire staff marched forward with me and handled each twist and turn along the way. She communicated with me night and day and did everything she could think of to keep us from harms way. Her ability to evaluate every angle of each situation comes with many years of experience as a criminal and family attorney. She is well respected amongst her peers in an out of the courtroom. Thanks to Louise and her staff I never gave up and today we can move forward with our lives.

True advocate

Louise handled my dissolution of marriage. I'm an attorney but was smart enough to know I needed an advocate and I found one in Louise. She always kept me informed, made sure I was prepared for mediation and have both legal and moral support.

Clever and Compassionate... A True Blessing

I just received the Final Judgment after a year long highly contested domestic violence divorce case. We have two young boys and we had a lot of marital assets. Although I had a great divorce attorney, I contacted Louise when my ex-husband became increasingly abusive towards our children and it was... evident that he was only interested in using them as pawns in his games. Louise treated my case as if it were her only one. Her and her staff were warm and welcoming. They were all very responsive to emails and phone calls. She was professional, courteous and compassionate. She was organized and prepared for just about everything. Louise is honest, truthful, and informative. She is well respected amongst her peers. She gave me all the facts, and allowed me to help with the decision making process. Although it was rare, when she didn't know the answer, she quickly researched case law to make sure we handled each situation properly. Louise had just the right approach to help me keep my children safe. She understood the delicate way to handle the severe domestic violence I had been a victim of. She helped me rise above it all, and find the voice I so desperately needed. While some shortsighted individuals may call her methods a little over the top, when it comes to the safety and well-being of protecting your children there is no such thing!! I would definitely recommend Louise Jones. (And as my 5 year old would say, I would give her 10 thumbs up, but I only have 2 hands).

"Louise Jones is an excellent lawyer. She specializes in divorce and family matters. She handles custody cases and she also does family matters related to criminal defense such as DUI and possession. I've referred many clients to Louise because I do not specialize in her type of practice. These clients universally tell me that Louise is caring, reasonable, smart and ultimately successful in resolving their legal matters. I endorse and recommend her without hesitation."
