Do not hire her!

My experience with this attorney was extremely disappointing. Communication was poor, responses were slow, and I rarely received clear answers. I also felt that I was overcharged for the work that was actually done. Based on my experience, I would not hire or recommend her to anyone.

Fathers matter

Jenna was an absolute delight to work with, as well as her staff. I was extremely nervous because it was my second legal dispute with my ex wife, the first being one that left me NO rights as a father. But; a friend highly recommended her, so I had my consult. Within 2 minutes of meeting her I knew s...he would do incredible things. She did not disappoint and kept the matter from having to even see court!! Highlt impressed with Jenna and her staff. Words simply can’t thank her enough

Harassment Order

I hired Jenna on a Harassment Restraining Order. Jenna and her crew were an absolutely wonderful to work with. Thorough, prompt, and kind. I would recommend them a hundred times over.

Very impressed

I needed help quickly with an urgent co-parenting conflict right before a holiday weekend. I didn’t know what to do, so I called Jenna looking for guidance. Within minutes, we had a plan put together, and within a day, we had filed all the necessary court documents. She was so responsive with each ne...xt step, and great ideas on how to word the documents. I really appreciate how she and her colleagues were able to help so quickly.

Great Attorney

She helped me through a difficult situation, explained everything and gave me great advice. She is worth what she charges and earns every penny.

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.
