Excellent Attorney

Jennie did an incredible job in my divorce and custody case. It was a very complex matter and Jennie was more prepared than I could have realistically expected. She knew the details of my case front and back, and was incredibly organized in court. She was professional, well-reasoned, and did a nice j...ob separating fact from emotion. Without hesitation, I would recommend her to anyone I know.

There when you need her

Jennie did an excellent job getting me through my divorce. She managed my expectations, kept me calm during stressful situations, and gave excellent advice on how to handle interactions with my ex. She was professional at all times and helped move things along to come to a satisfactory settlement wit...hout having to go to court.

Jennie Clausen

Attorney Clausen will not sugar coat anything. She does her job and very well I might add. It was obvious she put in her time to understand my situation. Amazing attorney and I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce with children involved. 5 stars

She is an excellent lawyer!

Jennie is a great asset for H Dane Law. She was able to help me obtain everything that I needed for my son in my custody case. The only negative thing I would have to say, and I really don't consider it a negative thing, as to me, it means that she is damn good at what she does, but It was hard to ...get a hold of her at times and I had to talk thru her paralegal a lot. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs any sort of family law needs. In fact, I already have. Thank you Jennie for your great representation.

Fantastic Attorney

Jennie is a very professional, thorough, tough attorney. She successfully defended me against multiple attempts by my ex to not obey the divorce decree. She helped me get an extremely fair and just settlement in the divorce, and despite appeals or trips back to court, she successfully defended our ...position each time. We have had to file rule to show cause on multiple occasions and they were found in my favor, or settled (in my favor each time). I have personally recommended her to several people knowing that they will be in excellent hands with her. After 7 years, there are still issues and Jennie has stuck by my side and is there for me every time he tries something else. Jennie is very honest with her clients as well. If I was being unreasonable she would let me know what is truly possible and what is not. She does not like wasting time and will clearly state if something will be a waste of time, effort and money. She does not drag things out or suggest unnecessary things in order to bill. She is very fair in her billing and when she is working for you as her client, she is working hard and looking at every detail. She is extremely smart and very quick on her feet. In the courtroom, she is articulate and very direct with her questions being very prepared when she walked in. She spent time prepping me for court and I can honestly say that she was my strength through this entire ordeal. Having her fight for me gave me strength that he would not defeat me or get away with pulling the things he did. And he did not. As I said, she was successful each attempt that was made. I VERY highly recommend Jennie Clausen as an attorney and can say with 100% certainty and honesty that she will fight for you and defend you to the best of her ability. (And I feel her ability is phenomenal)

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.
