Military Friendly

As a service member it was important to me that be Jennifer military friendly. Jennifer was quick to respond to my needs and made my situation feel imporant and understood. I would suggest her to my friends and family 10/10.

Ms. Egelston’s expertise was extremely helpful

Jennifer Egelston provided me with wonderful advice regarding Equine Law. During my consultation she was patient and thorough while helping to determine my needs. Her knowledge of horses combined with her expertise of the law proved to be exactly what I needed.

Extremely Friendly and Helpful

Jennifer was amazing in answering every question I had about my legal issues. They were also very friendly and pleasant to talk to. I felt very comfortable with Jennifer as my attorney every step of the way. They even helped drive me to the courthouse when I needed help with transportation.

Unknown lawyer | Jul 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jennifer has taken the Family Law practice at TriAmicus Law to a whole new level with her diligence, tenacity and passion for helping families, parents and the children involved. I had the pleasure of watching her help two parents that each had spent years fighting for time with their children with difficult problems concerning international travel/residency and foreign legal documents and was impressed by her quick resolution to their problems and effectiveness with reunification and visitation/custody for these individuals. Jennifer is also highly effective at settling matters without unnecessary costs being incurred by the clients at such a difficult time. I look forward to working with and witnessing exceptional client services from her for years to come."
