Knowledgable and Compassionate

Jennifer is a caring and compassionate attorney. I felt that she heard my concerns and helped as best as she was able to. I appreciate that she was always up front about certain concerns and the approach, plus how a judge could respond. She is very knowledgable and thorough. Jennifer also made me fee...l like a valued client. She was very helpful during this difficult time. She definitely helped to get a reasonable outcome. I recommend Jennifer for anyone dealing with time sharing and modified parent plan concerns.

Incredible and Compassionate

I had hired Jennifer in my custody dispute with my Ex. and I could not have picked a better attorney to fight in my corner! Being outgunned financially she and her office always tried to minimize unnecessary costs to me and always tried to look out for my interests. As our case was being fought in 2 ...states I had to hire another attorney in the other state, and Jennifer was still the only one I could count on. She was my rock and has my absolute trust, you won't find better.

Absolutely Outstanding! Professional, Knowledgeable, Determined and Compassionate.

Jennifer took a very complicated child custody case representing me (the grand parent) seeking temporary custody of my grandchild due to the parent's (my daughter) inability to care for the child due to her inappropriate life style (ie, drugs, alcohol, etc). When I became aware of how bad the proble...m was, I contacted another attorney and she totally mishandled the case. This alerted my daughter that I was seeking custody of my grand daughter, and of course, this made the case much more difficult.; however, after I fired the first attorney, I contacted Jennifer and she immediately analyzed the case with expert skill. She cleared her calendar and she worked with me that day in her office to immediately and tirelessly put in an emergency motion for the protection of my grandchild. This was on a Friday, so she gave me her cell # and she personally stayed in contact with me to guide me through the process over the weekend as we awaited the judge to make a decision on the emergency motion. If you are not aware, grandparents basically have no rights in Florida regarding grandchildren so it is very difficult to win temporary custody. However, the judge ruled in my favor. Then, Jennifer instructed me how the emergency pick-up order process worked. In this process, I picked-up my grand daughter from my daughter with the aid of law enforcement. Jennifer's knowledgeable, calm manner took my stress out of this potentially volatile situation. To emphasize how rare it is to win temporary custody and get a pick up order, the law enforcement officer told me that he had never executed one in his 15-year career. Jennifer's calm quick action ensured the safety of my grand daughter. This is a true testament to Jennifer's empathy and skill. Then, Jennifer flawlessly represented me in subsequent court battles with my daughter as she attempted to regain custody of my granddaughter before she made the required changes for reunification. She also helped me stop the father (my grand daughter's father) gain custody as he was and has been a totally absent parent living in Nevada. Currently, my daughter has made the required changes for reunification. I still have temporary custody and I am involved in mediation with the construction of the parenting agreement between my daughter and my granddaughter's father. Therefore, all of my goals for my grand daughter have been met and and are being met for the future...she is safe, happy and secure. It is my true belief that Jennifer has been instrumental in saving my grand daughter's life and that it the highest praise and best future recommendation that I can give her. Absolutely hire her immediately!

Excellent Attorney!

Our case involved a complicated termination of parental rights and adoption by stepparent. Jennifer Todd did an incredible job of taking us through this journey to a successful end. Jennifer was always responsive and got back to me very quickly. She was wonderful to have in our corner during the most... trying moments of this process. At any roadblock we would come to Jennifer was quick to come up with a plan and had an incredible knowledge of case law. We are so grateful to Jennifer for her hard work and dedication! As one review mentioned, She was very considerate with our funds as well. I highly recommend Jennifer Todd as a top-notch family lawyer.

Great attorney

I had a very unique divorce case that involved a pregnancy and a new marriage, which took one year to resolve. Jennifer Todd and staff did a lot of detailed research and always made me feel like I was their only client. She truly cares, and I never felt like I was getting brushed off, and they were a...ll very supportive during the times when I felt frustrated with the situation in general. They were extremely thorough, and I'm not sure the outcome would have been as positive had I used another firm.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jennifer and I were opposing counsel in a very contested case prior to her joining Rechel & Associates, P.A. . Jennifer was not the initial attorney in the case. Rather it was given to her to handle approximately two or three weeks before the trial. Jennifer jumped right in and attempted to tackle the issues, Although we did not settle the case before trial, I admired the way Jennifer performed at the trial. She was prepared and provided competent representation despite only having the case for a very short period of time. I continue to be impressed by her work since she jointed Rechel & Associates and I look forward to working with her on more cases"
