All family law issues are emotionally difficult and divorce is certainly no exception. I guide my clients through their divorce with compassion and experience, addressing all issues of real property, personal property, debts, and support.

With my legal experience and my deep appreciation for the individualized nature of every family's custody and parenting time case, I actively assist my clients in creating an appropriate schedule and effective co-parenting relationship with their ex.

Alimony, or spousal support, can be a contentious dispute between parties. Working with an attorney who deeply understands your financial situation is key in pursuing or defending alimony.

Child Support is an important piece in any custody matter. Ensuring both parties are financially responsible for their child helps maximize the resources available for that child's development.

Excellent Attorney

Jackie was worth every, very expensive, penny! My divorce case was ugly, messy and challenging and she dove right in without hesitation. Her knowledge and passion for justice gives her the upper hand to fight for her clients. She is tough and understood my rights and was always willing to fight as ha...rd as necessary to get me what I deserved. Her communication was great and she thoroughly explained my options during the process of things, while at the same time respecting my decisions and allowing me to feel like ultimately I had say in the matter. She is overly organized (and I say that as a good thing) and as her client I felt more than prepared going into every important meeting. She was also accommodating during this world-wide COVID pandemic, by making herself available during unusual hours if necessary and assisting with everything being done virtually or electronically. In the end, I would say overall I got everything I wanted out of my divorce case as well as child custody and support. You get what you pay for. I would recommend her to anyone!

Excellent Attorney

I hired Jackie for my divorce. Going through a divorce is very difficult but felt Jackie was the best attorney I could have worked with. She provided me with great advice throughout the divorce and custody negotiations. I really appreciated how prompt Jackie was in her responses. She was great about ...returning my many calls and emails. She was always professional. Jackie is very detailed with her notes and her advice. She was always aware of the specifics of my case each time we talked. I was very happy with her services and would highly recommend Jackie.

Jacquelyn Dupler is Amazing

Jacquelyn Dupler is absolutely the best lawyer you could ask for. She is kind and smart and patient and fantastic at her job. She is thorough and thoughtful and treats every client with the dignity and respect they deserve. She can make an awful situation a little less awful by being not only your... counsel but also advocating for you in every way she can. She is a good human and a wonderful lawyer. I could not recommend her more.

Jackie is the best.

Jackie helped me through what was not only an extremely contentious divorce process and trial, but also one of the most difficult times in my life. Simply put, she is a rockstar. From our first phone call, she was always compassionate, kind, and had the utmost concern for my family's safety, well-bei...ng, and happiness. While I know I was not her only client at the time, I would have sworn I was because our conversations and meetings were never rushed and she always took the time to make sure we were on the same page. Her work quality is top-notch, and I was always amazed at how prepared she was. There was a noticeable difference between her level of preparation compared to the opposing counsel in our case, and other lawyers I had worked with. I found her fees to be extremely reasonable and worth every penny--she obtained for me a better outcome in my trial than I had even hoped for. Simply put, Jackie is the best and I feel so blessed to have had her counsel during such a tough ordeal. I would 100% recommend her for any family-law related issue. And Jackie is definitely the only lawyer I will trust with any of my own family law related issues in the future.

Highly Recommended!

Jackie was the absolute best attorney I could have ever selected when it came to my divorce case. During what was a confusing, emotional and difficult time in my life, she was an fierce ally in my corner. She was always thinking one step ahead for me and my daughter, and was always willing to explain... anything I had questions on. The way that she handled my case and worked with my ex's lawyer was top notch, and she honestly helped pave the way to make me feel like I was going to be "OK" after all of this was said and done. She constantly caught things that others in this process missed and I am so thankful for her attention to detail. I give Ms. Dupler my highest praise, most sincere "thank you" and highly recommend her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
