Awesome Lawyer

Jane Windsor has helped me out more than being an awesome lawyer; she has been there every time I have needed her in a manner of minutes. I cannot recommend her enough! She is someone who takes the time to understand your situation and actually listens to you. She is the third lawyer that I have h...ad to work with and easily the BEST! She was recommended to me by a court appointed parent coordinator who highly recommended her as being very caring and reasonably priced. And, I am so very thankful that I made that call to Jane. She is more than reasonably priced and caring, she is dependable and tenacious. She never gives up, even when you may want too. Being a lawyer is her second career. Her first was a school teacher and she is still teaching me on how to deal with a very difficult divorce. In addition, she seem to know a lot of people involved in the court system, from the magistrate to other lawyers to people who have been court appointed to assist me and my children. Everyone likes and respects Jane which helps A LOT when she is representing you. She has even assisted and accompanied me to court in a legal situation outside of my divorce because she wanted to learn and help me. I just must repeat myself; I highly recommend Jane Windsor as a lawyer who is simply awesome.

Divorce

I met Jane Windsor when I was going through a divorce. I was introduced to her by a mutual friend. she held my hand when I needed it. She also guided me through the ordeal with accurate information. She answered all my questions and gave me choices. Jane never left me hanging, if i called her s...he called back in a timely manner. I was very impressed. In my case things went better than expected and I believe that was because of Jane. I can't say enough about her work ethic and attention to detail.

Dedicated and caring

When going through a divorce, or anything involving a child for that matter, its always very difficult to choose someone who cares as much about the process and child as you do. Jane is that person. I never could have moved through the system and visualized the light at the end of the tunnel knowing ...my daughter would be safe and cared for within the legal system without Jane. She was very dedicated to helping navigate through a very high conflict situation and unusual situation. Usually its not the father fighting to protect his child but in this case it was and Jane had some hurdles to over come. Also, she was up against a very powerful litigious firm and she never backed down. Strong, focused and mighty. When you have someone or something your very passionate about make sure the person you hire is just as passionate because without that energy you can never feel protected and satisfied. Thank you Jane for your professionalisim and working with such a hard headed, strong willed person to unfog the system and create a direction to protect a child without a voice. We only get one chance in this world to make a lasting impression and I will always remember your dedication, focus and sincere knowledge in your practice to help protect those who deserve and need it.

She is professional and personally committed in her area of practice. She will not hesitate to join forces with other attorneys where she feels that it will serve her clients. She's a hero! or is that heroine?"
