This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Awful

I went to this lady for a child custody case and the next day the other parent knew everything I said because she told them and I do not recommend getting her for a lawer she is always hard to get ahold of and does not seem to care.

I take attorney/client privilege seriously. I do not know who posted this but I can assure you that it was not my office that gave information out regarding your custody matter.

review

Jennifer is very knowledgeable and dedicated to her profession. She is an outstanding attorney. Her character is beyond reproach and her skills in criminal law are exceptional. I have worked with her in a professional capacity for 4 years. I would highly recommend this attorney.

I keep a list of lawyers at home that my family is to call should I need one. When Jennifer lived in Florida she was amongst the top three. I would trust her with any of my litigation.

Excellent service

My father wanted revision of his will as my mother had passed away 14 years earlier and a review of his estate. There was only one problem he could not at this time walk unassisted and it was very difficult for him to get to an office. Ms. Taylor was nice enough to come to his home and discuss his o...ptions, they came up with a plan, she revised his will, prepared a new one, arranged for a notary, and they came and had it executed. I also had some health problems and had her do a power of attorney and a living will. Her charges were very reasonable and she was very professional. She also took the time to call and ask if we had any further questions and followed up with us. We would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to others.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Taylor was a prosecutor in Okaloosa County, Florida, when we crossed swords in the courtroom. Repeatedly. She was a tough adversary, yet it never went to her head. More importantly, she was smart. And honest - she still tells it like it is. She is one of those people in life who truly "gets it." In a world where many lawyers feel like they have to sugar coat and "sell" their clients, Jennifer Taylor simply puts the work in, gives solid advice, can find her way to the courtroom and knows what to do when she gets there. She is easily one of the best lawyers I have come across in my career."
