Some words I would use to describe after hiring Jennifer Thompson would be: unprofessional, incompetent, unstable, unprepared, and short tempered.

Jennifer Thompson is ineffective. I paid her thousands of dollars, of which accomplished nothing on my behalf. She is self serving, rude, incompetent, unorganized and unprepared.

Highly Competent and Experienced
I have consulted with Ms Thompson on numerous family law matters as it is out of my practice area. I have always found her to be quite knowledgeable and able to provide clear and concise advice on the matters being discussed.

Would recommend
Jennifer has been representing me intermittently for 6 years. Initially for divorce and then a child custody case (that has been from hell) with multiple issues. She has always kept me informed of what is happening with the case and always has been professional.
"I endorse Jennifer. She is a tireless advocate for her clients. I know because I have worked with her and against her on various cases over the years. Any client who hires Jennifer will know immediately that she will fight for them."
"Jennifer is passionate about her clients and cases. She knows what it means to be a zealous advocate. Jennifer is aggressive and determined. I am proud to work with her!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer is a real professional. I have known her for almost 20 years and she never fails to impress me. She cares about her clients and about results. That's a great combination!"
"Jennifer does a great job handling difficult criminal cases where the deck is stacked against her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
