This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not worth the money

This review is my opinion, it is a representation of my experience with Jill, this review is my opinion, and my opinion only it is a representation of my experience with Jill. When I first met Jill I must say that I was impressed with the office and our initial interview she said everything that... I wanted to hear. So I gladly gave her the required retaine. Within days of receiving her retainer she started to change her story on what we were going to do. It was a battle from that point on. I should've listened to my intuition and get another attorney. That probably was one of the biggest mistakes that I made. I do not feel that she had my sons or my best interest in mind. I felt like she cared more about the mother and her best interests. In the end it cost me a ton of money and in my opinion time with my son. We discussed a game plan to become the residential parent once I sign the shared parenting plan, and then once signed, she changed or story again. In short, please as a concerned father who loves his son dearly do not trust this attorney. I think she charges too much and I didn't feel I receive what I paid for.

Was a good experience

Very helpful. I Hired her after I fired my first lawyer. She helped me in my divorce step by step. Very knowledgeable. Kept me informed. Was able to reach a good deal. I really appreciate her work. I highly recommend Jill.

Over priced

She represented me in my divorce two years ago. I thought based on the firm, her high price and big office over looking the lake that she would be well qualified. I guess I learned an expensive lesson. Not only did she milk me out of a ton of cash the decree was written so poorly that I am still b...ack in court with my Ex because she failed to protect me. She is a joke and not worth half of what I paid her. I should have just thrown half of what I paid her out the window and kept the other half and then represented my self. I would have been better off

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
