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.

Best attorney I could’ve asked for

I hired Jackie for my divorce and child custody case, and I am so glad that I did. She is the best of the best. From our very first meeting, Jackie was extremely approachable, understanding, compassionate, and so reassuring. My case became extremely difficult and messy and Jackie was always there to ...guide me and answer any questions I had. She was very responsive to calls and emails. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, organized, thorough, honest, and always prepared. I trusted her to only communicate when necessary - she didn’t want to waste my time or my money. I felt heard and supported through every step of the process. I felt like she truly cared about the best interests of my child and me and fought to get the best possible outcome for us. I hired Jackie again post judgment for additional child custody issues, and again, she did not disappoint. Jackie is simply a rockstar. She went above and beyond both times that I needed her, and I will forever be grateful for the huge role she played during such a difficult and challenging time of my life. I truly feel as if I could not have gotten through my divorce and child custody case, and received the outcome that I did, without Jackie by my side. Not only is she an amazing attorney, but she’s a wonderful person. I would highly recommend her to any of my loved ones. I would 1,000% use her again as my attorney in the future if necessary - I honestly wouldn’t want to be represented by anyone but her. Thank you, Jackie!

Amazing Attorney

Jacquelyn Dupler is an excellent attorney that will not waste your time or money. She represented me in a complicated, contentious divorce and always answered all my questions and concerns fully. She is an amazing advocate for children and her clients.

Caring and Efficient!

I went to Jackie nervous, as it was the first time I had ever seeked legal advice. From that first day in her office she was very reassuring. She patiently answered every question I had; as well as prompted me to start thinking about scenarios that had not yet crossed my mind. I can’t thank her enoug...h; as the comfort that first day continued throughout the entire duration I had hired her. Her dependability, prompt responses, and how well organized she was gave me the confidence that I could rely on her to handle any matter. Any question that I thought was silly to ask she never made me feel that way, while thoroughly answering and helping direct me. I truly know she helped me stay strong and level headed throughout my divorce. While I hope to never find myself in that situation again I am so grateful I was able to have her on my side and would happily recommend her to anybody I love. She honestly cares for her clients and it shows in her dedicated work; Thank you Jackie!

Cannot recommend Jackie enough!

Let me start by saying that I cannot recommend Jackie enough to ANYONE that needs an attorney, especially during a divorce. Divorces are very emotional, difficult processes and having Jackie at my side is the one thing that kept me sane. She helped me stay focused and level-headed. Additionally, I fe...lt that she truly cared about my situation, my family and fighting for what I wanted. If you're going into a divorce, especially with children, you need Jackie at your side.

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!
