Professional and Trustworthy!

After having two lawyers who did a less than mediocre job in representing me during my divorce, I was extremely concerned about returning to the FOC to seek a reduction in child support as my earlier attempts had all failed. I recently returned to the court with Jeniece as my counsel, and as nervous... as I was, Jeniece came well prepared to make sure that I had a fair day in court. Jeniece is both personable and professional. She kept me informed during the entire process and at no time did I ever feel short of answers. It's good to know that there are good lawyers who aren't just about the money. I would most definitely call on Jeniece again should the need arise.

So very helpful

Jeniece helped us find appropriate counsel for a family criminal matter. Her advice & suggestions were incredibly helpful and helped us resolve our issue with as little pain as possible.

Responsive and Reasonable

Jeniece was very helpful to me during the entire process of my divorce. She worked closely with me to negotiate and manage the case in a way that kept things very civil and reasonable, rather than fighting every point just to fight. She genuinely listened to what I wanted to accomplish and helped m...e accomplish it. I found her very responsive and easy to work with, and have recommended her since to others.

One of the best!

I highly recommend Jeniece to anyone needing a family law lawyer. She is very personable, easy to talk to, and outgoing. She was always available, and she kept me up to date on all communications between her and the other lawyer, and all the filings with the court. Her depth of knowledge in family l...aw, and calm, cheerful demeanor were a great asset in my case, and she was very successful in presenting my case. With the other side creating absolutely "amazing" fantasies with their imagination, Jeniece was able to quickly present facts and questions during her cross examinations which showed her experience and skill in getting the truth and facts presented. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and will continue to use her in any future Family Court issues.

Bad communication and negligent on deadlines

Ms Parent was hired to conduct a post conviction evidentiary hearing in Livingston County, which she performed adequately. She was then paid $2000 to draft an appeal. She merely filed an appeal a copy of her original brief for the trial court, indicating to the Appeals Court that she would file an am...ended brief to bring up the new evidence obtained in the trail court. She never filed the amended brief. The appeal was denied. She then promised to file a motion for reconsideration, which she never did. For over two months she would not answer phone calls or emails, even though her agreed fees were fully paid. She practices without an office or secretary, so it is impossible to leave messages. She is fairly competent for a new lawyer, but VERY sloppy on communication and court deadlines.

"I endorse Jeniece Goldsmith. Jeniece is a skilled lawyer in the areas of family law, criminal defense and abuse/neglect cases. I had a case where the state was trying to terminate the parental rights of a client in a way that was completely illegal. Jeniece was able to jump in at the last moment and file a Motion that dismissed the entire case, reuniting the client with his family immediately."
