This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great attorney

When I was looking for a Family law attorney, Jen always stood out. She came highly recommended by others and she did not disappoint! Jen is very reassuring and calming, while giving my case the attention it needed behind the scenes. Jen is very professional, and very knowledge in family law cases. I... will recommend Jen Chase and her firm to anyone that needs a family law attorney.

The flexibility, knowledge and compassion she consistently demonstrated were extremely helpful to me. Without h...esitation, I completely recommend working with her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
