Professional & Knowledgeable

Jade has tremendous knowledge of the child support laws in Michigan. We hired her to handle my husband's child support appeal on a recommendation and she went above and beyond to handle our case, even while it dragged on for over 2 years. It was a very stressful time for us and we appreciate everyt...hing Jade did for us. She was very straightforward with us regarding our case. We would highly recommend Jade to anyone needing assistance with their child custody/support situation.

My ex’s attorney did all of the work

I would call Jade to ask her questions about my case and she wouldn’t respond. My ex’s attorney wrote our settlement agreement and I signed it with her, instead of Jade, because Jade wouldn’t call back. My ex’s attorney also drafted up our judgement of divorce. It’s a good thing I have a decent relat...ionship with my ex, otherwise I don’t think our case would have ended well for me. I will say, Jade Was empathetic to my situation when I did meet with her but overall she didn’t meet my expectations.

Very helpful

At first I was wary because she charged a $50 consultation fee and I thought people did free consultations. So I went to an attorney that was free and he acted like he couldnt be bothered because I wasn't payng and I swear after 20 minutes he rushed me out the door. Then I called some other people wh...o charged a little more or the same. So I scheduled with her. she was super nice and patient. we met for a little over an hour, which really wasnt bad for $50. she said she didn't want me to leave without having all my questions answered and gave me her cell number in case I had more questions that I forgot (which I did). and she said even if I didn't hire her I could still call with questions and let her know how court went. I just have a long custody case. not sure if I will be able to save up to hire her but I hope I can because she is more helpful than others ive talked to.

Very professional

I consulted with Jade over the phone and she provided me with a number of very helpful suggestions and even offered alternative resolutions to remedy my legal concerns. I looked forward to working with Jade. I was very impressed with her knowledge and understanding as it relates to my legal problem. ...

She finally has given me peace of mind

I had a horrible attourney before Jade that I never got to see, charged me if I ever did need to speak with him over the phone or in person, and as a result I only was able to speak with his secretary each time I had a question. He also tried to sway me to just settle for my ex to pretty much get eve...rything. I was desperate to find someone else when I found Jade and now I finally feel like everything will be okay and I can contact her anytime I have any questions which is awesome! She is very knowledgeable and helpful and I would recommend her to anyone in need.
