Always able to talk about my case.
When I was an active duty Marine I was stationed in Okinawa. So I was not on Eastern time during my divorce process. Jennifer took the time to be available when I was able to talk about my case. Even during the times I wasn't able to talk about my case with Jennifer....she still emailed me so I could...

Not Prepared and Poor Performance
Jennifer Paine was our lawyer for an interstate adoption. We let her know well in advance (Months) that we were adopting and wanted to make sure all our ducks were in a row before the birth of the child. In order to bring home the baby back home to Michigan Jennifer needed to do paper work with the c...
Dear Nick: We received your comment for the firm, and I invite you to call me personally to discuss your issues, which I am happy to do for you. I also invite you to contact the intestate attorney who worked for you in the other state. Interstate adoptions do take time, and our share of your paperwork we prepared when needed with great cooperation from you. We also were in constant contact with our court , often multiple times per day, to facilitate the interstate process with both states. This we did at our firm’s expense. The approval process in our state was complete within the time the court projected for us. We discussed this with you and your family daily. There is evidently some confusion here, and I suspect some of it has to do with the court asking your family members not to repeatedly call, as we were already in contact with the court, so it is likely your family does not have accurate information. Our share of your paperwork entered with approval for the ICPC office and by your county. Ultimately, we want the best for you and your family! Do not hesitate to reach out to discuss. JMP

Atty Paine is careless or incompetent
Ms. Paine represented me in a very nasty divorce case in which my ex had brought a criminal case against me. Ms Paine asked me questions on the stand which caused me to incriminate myself. Next thing I knew I was being arrested and charged with a felony. Ms Paine tried to justify her mistake by sayin...
