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 process. 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.

Excellent Probate Attorney

Being the target of multiple health issues, I was desperate to have a will prepared to protect my only child; especially as I am about to undergo a very high risk surgery. Given her astounding ratings here on Avvo.com, I called upon Jill Jenson Thrash to oversee the execution of my will, and she did NOT disappoint. In fact, not only was she able to present me with a thoroughly professional will, she served as someone would who I could confide in and understand my specific case. I would recommend her to anyone looking for great, fast, and excellent customer service. I am more than satisfied.

Great Advice

I have never thought to go to a Lawyer before in my life. Jill Thrash was the first to respond to my request for information concerning an Employment issue. She gave me wonderful advice and very helpful reccomendation to help advance my concerns to who they needed to be addressed to. She seems genuinely interested in the progress I am making even though I am financially unable to enlist her service. I appreciate wholly the information from and genuine concern of Jill Thrash.

Excellent service from a top-notch attorney

Ms. Thrash represented me in a traffic violation and had the case dismissed without my need to appear in court, which was important because I was out of town. She was always responsive and in constant communication with me. I have used her since and highly recommend her firm.

Contract closure

Jill Thrash and her family have been clients of mine for many years. She drew up the contracts that I currently use for my landscape maintenance company. I had a client who was canceling a contract that still had several months to until it expired. They were unwilling to pay for work that had been completed and were extremely difficult to correspond with. I contacted Jill Thrash, and she immediately took control of the situation. Within a week the original contract terms were met and we were paid in full. Jill is extremely knowledgeable and shows fantastic initiative when working with her clients. Thank you Jill for your fantastic service!

An Awesome Attorney!!!

I was having issues with medical bill collectors and getting them to reduce their bills and fees that they added to my account and my credit report took a hit. I called Jill Thrash and she typed a letter that day to send to all my medical bill collectors and they agreed to reduce their bills and take the unnecessary fees off. I am so thankful for Jill Thrash. in Chattanooga, TN! She also gave me advice when I was involved in an accident where someone rear-ended me and they weren't insured and my insurance company wanted me take my deductible on my property damage out on my total. She is very knowledgeable in so many areas of the law. Anytime, I had a question or concerns she was always available to answer them. She will actually call her clients and not have her assistant calling. She is a hands on attorney. She's very passionate and hard driven in all her cases. Her devotion, expertise, and involvement makes her my #1 choice and I strongly recommend everyone to call her for all your legal issues. I will always call her for all my legal issues.

Very kind and caring Lawyer

This past summer my husband was served a warrant from Florida for Failure to Appear on a robbery charge dated back in 1986. That's 28 years ago. Thank goodness we found a great Lawyer and, to make a long story short, all charges were dropped. Before we left Chattanooga to go to Florida I called Attorney Jill Thrash for advise and to see if she could hook us up with a good trustworthy attorney in Florida. I didn't know her personally but I went to Elementary and High School with her husband. Jill took time out of her schedule to give us advise. She was extremely kind and caring. She showed true concern for our plight and told me to call her anytime if I needed to talk. She also asked me to let her know how things worked out. If she is that helpful with someone who wasn't even a paying client I can only imagine how professional she would be with her clients. I would highly recommend her if you ever find yourself in need of a trustworthy, kind and professional attorney.
