Very thorough and experienced!

Jennie was incredibly easy to work with. She has a very expansive knowledge base in regards to financials statements and ensuring you receive a fair settlement. She was professional, compassionate, trustworthy and assertive. I am very happy she was on my side! Going forward, should I need represe...ntation, I will not hesitate to call Jennie. Extremely satisfied with the outcome of my divorce settlement.

Divorce Attorney

My divorce and custody battle was one of the most drawn out, stressful processes because of some very large issues that occurred with my ex-husband. Jennie studied my case and knew my history and story inside out and backwards. She answered every question and took every issue very seriously. She work...ed tirelessly for me and the best interest of my daughter. She was the calm in the storm for me. Her level of integrity is outstanding. Jennie keeps things very real with you at all times and wants to make sure you are prepared for any outcome, but she will fight for you every step of the way. If I ever need an attorney for anything again, Jennie will be my first call. I truly would not recommend anyone else.

Phenomenal Caring Lawyer!

Jennie has always put the needs of my children first and kept them always in mind when guiding me through this divorce process. It has always been about what was best for them and ensuring I was cared for as well. She would check in with me to see how I was doing as Covid and the courts delayed my di...vorce for quite some time. It was very refreshing to know there are good people out there that care so much about others. From the initial consultation to the two years after, Jennie has always been there for me. Jennie’s office was prompt and professional and I would highly recommend Jennie and her partners to anyone!

Persistent, thorough and invested

Jennie is committed to providing excellent service. She has worked with me over the course of more than five years. She is responsive to email questions, patient with making sure the process makes sense and genuinely invested in making an effective case. I cannot recommend her enough.

I hired Ms. Clausen to be my divorce attorney

Jennie, as well as her assistant, are very professional and straight forward. Jennie is knowledgeable about the law, her peers, and the judges. She doesn't waste your time or her time (this is a critical point). If I wanted feedback she gave it to me point blank. If my emotions were overruling my ...logic she set me straight. At the same time she is understanding and has empathy for the stress a divorce can create. However, her job is to guide and represent you in the courts and that is what she does.

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.
