Collection Sue

I was client, I hired Jill. A debt collector was trying to sue me for a bill, however they never gave me any formal notice. Jill knew exactly what she was doing. She ended up getting me more money than what the debt collector was suing me for. I highly recommend her!!

Honest, Professional, Straight Forward

Jill, Was a pleasure to work with. Nothing was made to "look good" she was honest and straight forward. She could have gone a different direction than she did for her own gain but her honesty, knowledge, and the direction she took was what in my best interest. I have the utmost respect and appreciate... her honesty and professionalism. Jill's main focus is on her clients needs and what is in the best interests of her clients.

Excellent review of information and follow up

Jill is fantastic. She reviewed info for an employment issue. She asked great questions and studied the information thoroughly. She understood the case immediately and was very kind in guiding me through the process. She outlined questions to prepare me for what might be asked during the tribunal pr...ocess. During the actual meeting, the opposing side took a different approach. She expertly asked me varying and different questions so that the decision maker could make a conclusion that was fair. The outcome was amenable and Jill was flawless! She also was very fair in her compensation charges.

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.
