Estate planning made easy

Jennifer did a fantastic job making the estate planning process easy to understand and seamless. Jennifer walked us through each part of the process, giving us pros and cons to each option, and then worked with us to draw up all the appropriate final documents. Jennifer was there every step of the ...way to answer any questions and offer guidance from her past experience on certain items. She took a very overwhelming process and made us feel that we should have taken care of the planning years ago.

Trusted, Patient, Reliable and Prompt

I hired Atty Hemmer to initiate my divorce. Atty Hemmer explained the legal process in detail so that I knew what to expect. This put me at a comfort level where I could clearly explain what it was I wanted and the facts in which got me to the point of divorce. This process was painful at times, h...owever; Atty Hemmer had a way of comforting and showing compassion, but at the same time getting down to the business at hand. She was fair and wasn't afraid to advise me if I was being unreasonable. She kept me on track with keeping my requests on a realistic level to prevent costly court fees, as I had told her in the beginning that I needed to keep costs down. She had my interest in mind at all times and explained to me every aspect of the decisions I was making in terms of pros and cons while protecting me from any risks that were not beneficial to me in the long run. I can honestly say that after I hired her I did not worry. I was impressed with Atty Hemmer as she handled my case since it also involved military processes and terminology. She handled that part with ease. She promptly returned every email and phone call which helped me to feel confident that my case was important to her. Her attention to detail was excellent and her knowledge and strategy were aggressive enough to get the results I desired. Understandably there was give and take in the divorce, but I came out with everything I asked for and then some! I would and do recommend her to anyone who needs a family attorney. She truly made this difficult process easy for me.

Family Attorney

I hired Jennifer to change my son's last name and renew a restraining order. She was very good at keeping me informed and communicating with me on a regular basis. If I had a question she was always good about getting back to me. She was very caring and understanding during a time when things were ve...ry stressful and uneasy. If and when I need a lawyer in the future Jen will be the person I will contact.

Jennifer O'Neill Hemmer, Real Estate Attorney

Jenn very successfully handled for us a continuing property dispute with a neighbor that could have led to litigation. Through her diligent and imaginative efforts the dispute was fully settled with a final result that we were very pleased with.

Estate Planning

Jennifer was very helpful in guiding me through the various types of wills and trusts which resulted in establishing the right one for me. I found her very knowledgeable and efficient in taking my thoughts and putting them into the documents I needed. Very responsive to emails and questions.
