Very caring yet professional

I hired Jacquelyn Tomlinson knowing she had years of experience in divorce and child custody. I had a very difficult spouse and she was very caring and reassuring through the process.

Excellent Lawyer.

You will not find a more determined, hard-working, compassionate attorney in Alabama than Ms. Jacquelyn Tomlinson. Based on my experiences with her I believe that she sets a very high standard for her client-focused practice. Ms. Tomlinson has a way of putting her clients at ease during their difficu...lt legal situations while providing competent and clever legal counsel. Ms. Tomlinson skillfully handled my legal issue and I was thrilled with the results she was able to achieve. Ms. Tomlinson made herself available to me whenever possible to discuss my case, even working nights, weekends and holidays to ensure my case was handled properly. I would recommend Ms. Tomlinson to anyone who finds himself or herself needing a domestic-relations attorney.

Professional, well informed, great to work with!

Jacquelyn is currently representing me in a child support/custody modification case. She has kept me well informed through this whole process. Jacquelyn truly cares about her clients and will fight for you. She is tough when she needs to be, but also one of the sweetest attorneys I've ever met. Custo...dy disputes are very stressful situations and Jacquelyn has gone above and beyond to set my nerves at ease. I have complete and total trust in her, which is something I've never had in another attorney. If you are going through a divorce or custody dispute, I highly recommend Jacquelyn Tomlinson.

The best!

You will not find a more hard-working, determined, capable, or compassionate attorney than Jacquelyn Tomlinson. Based on my experience with her (and other attorneys), I believe that she sets the standard for client-focused practice and is a master at putting her clients at ease no matter the difficul...ty of their situations. I was a wreck when I came to see her after being sued by my ex-wife but Jacquelyn quickly put my mind at ease. She skillfully and timely handled my child custody case and I was thrilled with the results. She made herself available to me whenever possible to discuss my case and, given my experience with other attorneys, I find this to be a rare and priceless characteristic for an attorney. I would recommend her to anyone who finds himself or herself needing a domestic-relations attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
