Superior attorney

She is simply the best. Always answers calls, texts, Emails. She knows her information, she is astonishing to watch in a court room. Incredibly intelligent on how she goes about a case. It's like a beautiful dance. She has been my lawyer for two cases now. I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else. There... are truly no words to express how much she means to my family and myself. We're very blessed to have her un hi

Hired for PPO Hearing - thank you!!!

So so thankful for my attorney Jennifer Paine for representing me recently in a PPO hearing. I for sure could not have done it without her and appreciate her dedication(even on a Saturday and Sunday) to helping and checking in on me. If you need a family law attorney, please get ahold of her. You wi...ll get the best of the best. I am 100% happy with the outcome.

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.

Handle a tough situation

My son was facing a tough situation with custody of his son. He tried to work things out with his mother and just couldn’t. Jennifer was caring, understanding and really helped with with why these things are important to handle in court and have enforceable agreements. He did file and though it ...was tough he made it through with her help. Jennifer is not only a wonderful attorney but a wonderful resource. She would respond to his questions and fears. She truly cares for her clients!

Highly recommended for difficult situations

Jennifer knows which battles to fight and how to fight them. It's up to you, the client, to take the advice, and trust her. She will tell you when to compromise and when to fight. Jennifer is not a careless attack dog, trust me you do not need that, shes an intelligent warrior. She can tell you what ...to expect and how to navigate extremely contentious parenting and custody situations. I made mistakes, believe me. Jennifer will tell you where to take your lumps, you will not like it, but you'll end up with the results you like. Trust me, I listened, and I got the results I wanted. Other lawyers are playing checkers compared to her, she's playing chess.
