Ms. Nielsen is very knowledgable in the area of family law and appears to genuinely be concerned with helping people. I endorse this attorney!

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.
