DO NOT HIRE OR COUNSEL THIS ATTORNEY!

She was the WORST LAWYER. I did EVERYTHING i was supposed to do for the courts BUT i lost custody of all my children. And when they got adopted, i was NOT told who adopted them or anything!!! And worst mistake they did was separate my oldest from his siblings best thing she could of say least did was... KEEP THEM ALL TOGETHER!! I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER!

Extreamly knowledgable and people friendly!

I contacted this law firm regarding child custody matters. The receptionist and attorney Huffman were very easy to deal with. The attorney more than answered all my questions explained everything in details I could understand and you can tell this law firm genuinely cares about their clients!!! 100% ...recommend this law firm!!!

not recommended

Very poor communication, hard to contact, did not keep me informed, did not recommend courses of action that could have saved me thousands in court. Now, with a new lawyer, I see how a good lawyer operates, and it is vastly different from what I experienced with Jackwood.

Great outcome!

Attorney Jackwood was easy to work with and did not give me the run around. Her office staff was pleasant and professional, too. Got a good outcome to a case I have been trying to deal with for a few years, so I was pleased. She showed up for court on time and prepared for battle.

Excellent

Answered all my questions either by phone or email. My ex wasn't upholding his end and she held him accountable. She made sure my husband got NOTHING from my 401K or household. She is now handling other issues for my family members.

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.
