CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Pinnacle Family Law was highly recommended to me by a family friend, who said Jennifer Paine is a fierce and dedicated attorney who will work hard for your case. That's exactly what I needed. Jennifer went above and beyond my expectations from the very first meeting, taking time on a Saturday to me...

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

Dear Anonymous: We are sorry to see your review. It is unclear to us that you are a client of the firm or, if you are, which client you are. However, if you contact our office, we will be happy to set aside time to discuss your case with you at no cost to you. This would include the outcome, options you have going forward, and the typical "offset" method for retirement account divisions in a divorce,which is something you raise here. Do not hesitate to reach out to us!
"Jennifer and I worked closely on a custody case together in which the client filed the case in my state and the opposing filed against the client in Jennifer's state. Jennifer works hard for her clients. Without hesitation, I endorse this lawyer."
