Excellent Lawyer

Jill was referred to me by another lawyer, that is also a friend of mine. Jill has handled my divorce proceeding and she has taken great care of my interests. Her rates are very fair and reasonable. I would recommend her to all of my friends and family.

Custody

My husband and I have been clients of Mrs. Denmans for over 5 years. She has helped us in so many ways! She is the best lawyer to have on your side in a custody battle. Mrs. Denman goes above and beyond to help her clients out. With her help we have won every case taken to court. I highly recomm...end her.

highly recommended

Based on a referral from a family member, I chose Mrs. Denman to by my representative for my divorce, which also led to custody and child support matters. Mrs. Denman was very helpful and understanding during my divorce and custody case. The meetings I held with her were very productive. She listene...d to all of my needs and concerns and gave me the most honest and straight forward advice to help me make the most informed decisions at a very stressful time. All of my questions were answered quickly. She understood the concern I had for the physical, emotional and mental safety of my child and continuously made his overall safety her priority. Mrs. Denman is well versed in the Mediation process. I was well prepared by Mrs. Denman for a court ordered mediation; we were able to communicate easily with the Mediator and steadily proceed through the mediation process. When a protective order became necessary and was granted by the court; Mrs. Denman explained the protective order in detail. Mrs. Denman’s staff was always up-to-date on the status and I always felt comfortable communicating with them. I highly recommend Jill Denman and her team.
