    Collection Sue

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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.

    After some searching, I came across Jill and I could not have asked for a better lawyer. She took the time to listen and understand my case. And she carefully explained all possible options. Jill went well above and way beyond my expectations. Not only do I highly recommend Jill, I state for a fact that Jill is still my lawyer and always will be !

    Great Advice

    Posted by

    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.
