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!

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!

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.

Nate

I was very satisfied with the way Jackie handled my divorce case. Jackie is smart, articulate and well prepared which ultimately gave me the best advantage and allowed me to get more time with my children. She was always thinking one step ahead and it showed in the courtroom. Jackie was fair and h...onest, she didn't waste my time (and money) or the courts which I also very much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a family law attorney. She worked very hard for me and I know she would for anyone seeking her services.

Patient, confident, awesome to work with, would re-hire and definitely recommend

Dear Jackie - Words cannot describe how grateful I am to you for taking my case. In all honestly, I was at my very last breath…the edge of the cliff…the end of the rope. I had multiple consultations before meeting you, as my case is quite the unique one, I needed to choose my representative caref...ully. When I finally came to discovery you, I was immediately in absolute relief. You listened to my story, and you responded with the upmost and ultimate confidence. Exactly what I needed and exactly what I was looking for. You are a blessing… a breath of much needed fresh air! My circumstances require constant special attention, sometimes immediately and I require someone who will listen to me, listen to my questions and provide answers in words I can actually understand. Jackie you are that someone. Along with that, you offer critical and priceless information and more importantly what matters most- putting the children involved first. 
 
More than once, you went the extra mile and was always there for me above and beyond our client/lawyer relationship. There were times where I wanted to ‘fight back’ and you brought me back to Earth and told me it’s not worth it, you’d love the money but it’s just not worth it. Times where I’d call and cry with pain and anxiety, and you made me see the positive side of things, tell me how we’re going to get through this together, and make me smile. This!! This means so much. It is my pleasure to recommend you Jackie, as a very qualified attorney who can handle any unique situation. I may not be the ‘most profitable client’ of yours, or well... maybe I am!? Haha! But I will confidently tell you this… I am your ‘most grateful client’ and that comes from my whole heart.
