An intelligent, caring, thoughtful, and understanding expert
Jennifer did in less than a year what took previous attorneys more than two years to not come close to. She was understanding of the toll my divorce and lack of visitation let alone custody was taking on me and made sure to do what was right by me. Not only that, she has told me that she remains committed to helping me in the future to improve the outcome of my case even more and I absolutely believe her. Her passion is obvious and she will fight for you…she will even push back in an effort to make you, the client, see more clearly, not in a bad way, but one that is illustrative of her genuine care and investment in her client and their lives. I was extremely broken by a painfully, contentious, and cruel divorce that kept me from my boy and left me drained and miserable. Jennifer delivered the best possible outcome for me to rebuild my life with my son and feel positive about the future. I will always be grateful for Jennifer and her work and will turn to Jennifer again in the future, and will never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who would benefit from her expertise and dedication. Thank you, Jennifer.

Domestic violence Attorney | Jan 12
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I had the opportunity to litigate an Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence case in which Jennifer Ficarrotta represented the opposing spouse. Jennifer was a zealous advocate for her client, while at the same time recognizing a settlement opportunity that resolved her client's concerns and avoided the necessity of additional litigation. Overall I was very impressed with her client focused approach, and I've since referred a similar case to her."

"Jen and I represented different clients in a case and I was very impressed with her skills as an advocate. She is extremely talented and professional."
"Jennifer is an attorney worth every possible accolade! Over the past several years I have had the opportunity to watch her growth as a family law professional and her growing involvement with the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar. I first met her when she was my "pupil" in a Matrimonial Trial Advocacy program. What an outstanding lawyer she has become. I would never hesitate to highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of legal excellence in this area of the law"
