Not effective
Jennifer was my divorce attorney. She is supposed to play a leading role as she is supposed to know whats coming. She went thru the motions, put no effort in and had no concern over the eventual outcome. I got no good advice, no help along the way. It was a disaster. She does not care.

Jennifer changed my life!!!
I cannot say enough about Jennifer Whitten!! She was indisposable in helping me win the battle for more time with my kids! She kept her composure, knew what she was talking about, and handled the objections effectively! I would HIGHLY recommend her!
