Saving grace!!

I will simply say that after 10 months of worry and fear of the worst, God lead me to an attorney who took my case on as if she were fighting for her own family. She is viscous in the courtroom and an angel outside of it. Love her!!

Knowledgeable

Not long ago we had to go before the courts for contempt issues. Jennifer was great she knew the law when the other 2 attorneys (one being my ex-wife) did not. The judge and his assistant acknowledged that Jennfier was correct. My ex-wife and her law firm partner didnt know what they were talking abo...ut. Jennifer is awsome at what she does.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Child Custody Consultation

I consulted Ms. Tompkins on matters of child custody. After speaking with Ms. Tompkins concerning this matter I did decide to go ProSe, but only because it was such an open and shut case. She was very thorough in her advice and knowledge of child custody. Ms. Tompkins was very easy to talk to and ...I felt as if her knowledge and input on the matter at hand was very trustworthy and thorough. Had I not been able to handle my case Pro Se, I would have definitely hired Ms. Tompkins as my attorney and will in the future if needed. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

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.
