Jenna McDonald Nichols's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jenna is attentive and provides excellent services to her clients. She is passionate about the work she does and is personally invested in her cases. I have worked closely with Jenna on numerous cases, and I have seen her dedication and outstanding work ethic first hand. For these reasons, I would highly recommend anyone needing legal services to reach out to Jenna."
"I highly recommend Jenna for domestic law related cases. She has been practicing for over 7 years and her experience shows. She brings a modern, practical approach that focuses on the big picture and makes her services affordable. She is also no stranger to litigious matters and recognizes the issues that are worth litigating."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Jenna is an effective and compassionate attorney who knows the law and cares about her clients. I have had the opportunity to mediate cases for Jenna and I have found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable and well prepared. Most importantly, Jenna knows that negotiating fair settlements outside the courtroom is usually best and she helps her clients to achieve good results at mediation when possible. When settlement is not possible she is a talented litigator who has the respect of judges and lawyers alike. Highly recommend!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Jenna is a young attorney who already has significant experience with family law matters in Shelby County. She is responsive, genuine, creative, and always keeps clients informed about the status of their cases. I recommend you contact Jenna at the Hoffman Law and Mediation Office if you have any family law issues."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly. She really cares about each and every one of her clients and their cases. Her focus is on problem-solving and keeping her clients informed through each phase of representation."
"Jenna worked for our law firm initially as a summer clerk while she was attending law school. She impressed me with her professional and detailed work ethic. When she graduated from law school, I asked her to consider joining Hoffman Law as an associate when she passed the Bar Exam and officially became a licensed attorney. I am so pleased to now have her as our newest associate attorney. She has enthusiastically assisted our clients. She has in her short career tried a dependency and neglect case in Juvenile Court, has appeared before the TN Court of Appeals on one of our cases and is currently handling a number of divorce cases. She embraces our firm mission to help our clients resolve their disputes peacefully and without litigation through alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation, collaborative and cooperative law."
"You will never find a more caring family law attorney than Jenna. She is extremely passionate towards her clients and has the knowledge and experience to get the best possible outcome for her clients. I highly recommend Jenna for any family law need."
