Best attorney

Jennifer was hired 21/2 years ago to help me with my sons case. She always answered my calls or returned my calls when she wasn't there. Her husband also stepped in and helped when Jennifer wasn't available. She became a wonderful friend and I highly recommend her. I can't appreciate her and her hu...sband more for their help. My son is out and at a halfway house doing wonderful . Thanks to them for all they did for our family.

Helpful beyond words

Jennifer, you are an incredibly gifted lawyer. Than you so much for all you have done for me and my family! When others look at my records they universally comment with "Wow, you had a good lawyer!" and all I can respond with is a grateful "yes, I did". Thank you for believing in me, my wife, my ...family, and my faith. I fell into a dark hole, but you were used to allow the light to shine through the difficulties.

THE BOMB

I had just graduated nursing school and ended up being charged with 3 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. I thought my life was over. I searched for attorneys and found a few but no one could help me. I came to Jennifer and she offered to take my case at an unbeatable price. She wouldn't take anything but d...iversion from the prosecutor. She is a beast in the court room. Here I am a year later with no charges on my record and I am living my best life as a registered nurse. I reccomend any and everyone to her because no one can beat her. She is seriously the BEST!

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.
