Katie Jendro will be by your side as your guide and advocate fighting for your needs.

Katie Jendro and her team are amazing to work with at Hess & Jendro. I first used Mrs. Jendro for my divorce about five years ago and she was able to guide me through the process where I felt was protected and stood up for against my ex-husband. I appreciated how she was honest with me on what to e...xpect and also what I needed to be emotionally ready for in this process. The second time I needed to use Mrs. Jendro was for preparing a Will and other legal documents for my father whose health quickly was deteriorating and we needed fast action to get all his affairs lined up prior to his passing. The third time I used Mrs. Jendro for is a custody issue with my ex-husband. This was an issue that lasted months with child inclusive mediation and court. Mrs. Jendro was by my side through this entire process protecting my kid’s wishes. I would recommend Katie Jendro if you want a lawyer that will not just represent you for your legal needs and be your advocate but who will guide you through the entire process, where you know what to expect and what are possible outcomes. Katie and her team at Hess & Jendro will work hard for you as she has for me and my family.

Professional and Personable

In working with Katie it was clear that she put her client first and truly cared about the outcome of the case. She was detail-orientated and on the ball in all our dealings.

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.
