Blessing

I hired Jennifer for my divorce in Oakland County. She was able to meet with my on non work hours due to my schedule. She spent a lot of time on my case without charging a lot. I don’t think I could afford a lawyer without her. The divorce was hard and I didn’t get everything I wanted, who does, but ...I feel that she was always looking out for me and that she cared.

She is very easy to reach even on weekends, and she will take the time to calm your nerves if you are nervous bout the court case....... I wouldn't want any other attorney for my husband... custody case!

She is Great! I strongly recommend!

Jennifer is great at what she does. Her compassion and knowledge of her craft helped ease my mind in a custody situation that could've and would've been otherwise overwhelming and stressful. I would recommend her to anyone in a situation similar to mine, but especially for the person who isn't famili...ar with the court process and that may be intimidated by the court process/experience. She'll help ease all of your cares and worries. I didnt even have to speak. She came in and handled everything in a professional and knowledgeable manner. She responded to my text messages and calls! It wouldn't have been the same without her. Thank you Jennifer! You're Great!
