Jennifer is a highly competent and compassionate attorney
Jennifer was responsive, kind and honest about what we could achieve legally while still getting the best deal possible. She has lived through what most of her clients are experiencing, which aside from her exceptional litigation skills, makes her even more qualified to practice family law.
Jennifer has been my lawyer for over 2 years now, handling my divorce, as well as my child custody case. Empathetic, knowledgeable , trustworthy, and professional are just a few words that I could use to describe her. She is someone that you can talk to at any time, and she is a straight shooter. She is well versed in her field, and keeps current with all the changing laws. She's actually human which is awesome, and never talks above you but with you. In and out of the courtroom Jennifer exhibits a calm and controlled personality, but she is tough when necessary. I have trusted her process, and it honestly has paid off each and every time. She has consistently proven herself to be sharp, well-prepared and tenacious. I would have to say that her staff is a direct reflection of her. Although, there are great attorneys out there, I assure you that you will not find a more dedicated and intelligent attorney, as well as a dedicated staff. This is why I will ALWAYS recommend her for anyone that is looking for someone to fight in their corner, and provide them the best representation.

Very knowledgeable lawyer
Jennifer helped me to try and modify my shared parenting plan. From day one she was extremely helpful and knew the ins and outs of what we needed to get done. She answered emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I would highly recommend contacting her.

Personable with her clients & fearless with opposing counsel
Jennifer Nielsen picture looks like the girl next door. She is was very personable with me, but I heard opposing counsel was quite disappointed, with having to deal with her. She was unyielding and resolute in getting me everything I asked for and she got it for me! Everything I ask for. In our meeting, she asked “what do you really want.” It wasn’t the approach of other attorneys’ I have encountered. They often said what was best. After I told her what I wanted, she than got it, and framed it for my best interested (with my consent). My case was wrapped up quickly (several months sooner than I expected), which showed me she wasn’t interested in dragging it out to make extra money off of me, she was interested in getting results. She paved the way, for my expectations of attorney’s. Based off of my positive experience with her, I know how to encourage others, as to what to expect and require of an attorney. I highly recommend her and have given her contact information to others.

Not enough space to explain how good she is
I am not the most well-spoken person, but I will try to leave a helpful review.
I hired Jennifer in the middle of a divorce with children (and abuse). She cleaned up my pro se mess and put my end of the divorce back on equal ground. Jennifer definitely more than earned her fees by being available nearly 24/7 to help with my case. She patiently guided me through my divorce with great strength on my behalf and was able to make a much better situation for my kids and me. I won't give you a magical story about how she won everything for me in a divorce. That's neither practical, nor what I was wanting.
Despite having an incredibly difficult judge and questionable GAL, she was able to ensure a fair deal in the end. She helped me further, once the divorce was finished, with my ex to make sure he followed court orders. She sacrificed her own time and effort to help my transition to a new life.
Jennifer was much more than a lawyer for me - she was there to support me when I needed it, without judgment. She found creative solutions to problems that seemed impossible to resolve. She, gently, kept me in check when I was really being unreasonable. She made sure I understood absolutely everything - even if it took several discussions for me to fully comprehend.
As for the legal side of things, she is amazing. She obviously knew much more about law than her opponent (not to mention maturity). She knew what to do to avoid further conflict and future problems. Jennifer knew how to address problems I was having with my ex's need for control and incorporated her knowledge into the divorce negotiations and decree. To put it simply, she made sure I was going to be safe in the future. I can't being to explain how important that is.
On her website, she describes herself. "I understand how difficult facing divorce or child custody disputes can be, and am dedicated to providing each of my clients with zealous, caring representation throughout every stage of their case. I am committed to making myself available to address the needs of my clients and answer their questions, and will work hard for the most positive result in your case." That is more accurate than any description I could think of. 110% true.
In one simple statement: She is amazing and worth every penny of her fees.

Great Adoption Attorney
Jennifer is very knowledgeable and efficient! I highly recommend her for any adoption services!! I am a stepparent who adopted my stepson. She did a great job within a promised time frame. I highly recommend her!

Attorney with a heart
Ms. Nielsen was a wealth of knowledge when reviewing my severance agreement. I thought about just signing the agreement and not meeting with her but then decided to meet with her. I am so glad I did. Had I not had her legal advice, it's possible my previous employer was not obligated to pay thousands of dollars owed to me because of they way the employer had documented it. Her reasonable fee is worth what it saved me.

This Attorney is a must if dealing with divorce issues
After dealing with many unresolved issues regarding my divorce, I retained Attorney Nielsen and she immediately went into action to resolve them. She addressed all of my post-decree issues and I could not be happier.

Responsive and effective service
As a result of changes in my financial situation, Ms. Nielsen provided advice and performed all necessary legal actions associated with modifying an existing Dissolution Spousal Support agreement. She was very timely in responding to my questions and requests, and she was very efficient in performing and concluding the appropriate legal activities required for Court approval of the changes. I would positively recommend Nielsen Law and if I needed similar help in the future, I would return to this company for the help.

Hired as attorney in divorce case
Jennifer was compassionate and understanding as well as very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend her to someone. My only suggest is that perhaps she could be a little more aggressive when helping the client deal with issues that perhaps the client isn't comfortable with, maybe be a bit more of an advocate in cases where the client needs some help.

Response from Jennifer NielsenNovember 3, 2015
Absolutely! I strive to do both, and encourage my clients to be open enough with me to let me know when they do not understand or are struggling with an issue. In representing a client, there are some situations in which aggression is necessary, and some situations in which aggression would harm a client's position. Sometimes this aggression happens "behind the scenes." It is the attorney's job to know what is called for in each situation, and to communicate this to her clients.

"Jennifer is not only extremely compassionate when it comes to the life changes her clients are facing, she is incredibly knowledgeable and will leave no stone unturned to make sure that her clients get the best possible outcome.

"I've been seeing the many answers by Jennifer on this site, particularly in the area of family law and related areas although her practice is not limited to family law. She is also engaged in two complex areas of law, employment and civil rights. Jennifer's answers to those asking questions are well thought out and no doubt helpful to those seeking legal information. What Jennifer doesn't do, like many attorney here unfortunately do, is just tell the asker to see an attorney. Her responses provide real information and it is a credit to her to devote the time and energy it takes to engage on Avvo. Without hesitation, I endorse Ms. Nielsen as an attorney."
