The Best in the Business

If you are looking for a Responsive, Professional attorney to work with Jill would be the one! Jill and Bailey were both easy to work with, extremely professional, super responsive and willing to take the time to walk through the divorce process with me. Getting divorced is not only an emotional proc...ess but one that many can skim over the details. There was not detail that was not talked about, I knew where we were at in the process and what to expect next. Jill is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she cares! When I started the process, I was feeling all the emotions after a 10 min call with Jill I knew she was the one! I would highly recommend Jill to friends and family!

Outstanding service!

I hired Jill to represent me in my divorce. She was very patient, thorough and pleasant to work with. Jill responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner and helped make an unpleasant process easy. I am very appreciative of Jill!

Fabulous attorney!!

Jill is a fantastic Family Law attorney. She is always very prompt to respond to questions and is always on top of your case! Her work is timely and thoroughly, and she really gets to know the details and facts of your case. She will tell you the reality of your situation and what she thinks your jud...ge will do with the information available and what your best outcome is, so that you can make informed decision every step of the way. She frequently reminded me to take care of myself through this process and was very personable and relatable. I cannot recommend her enough!

Jill is a kind, caring, and skilled lawyer.

I hired Jill for a post divorce mediation, updated decree. She's an excellent family lawyer as she has the ability to be caring, calm, objective, and had a great balance of the art and skill of her profession. I felt heard, supported, cared for during a very challenging time. She is honest, upfron...t, and clearly communicated the process, options, and plan to help this family reach the goal. She has a great team around her and I was always able to get my questions answered. I am so glad I found Jill, as she helped us resolve a difficult issue with her calm, caring nature and high level knowledge/skill. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but am glad to know I have Jill in my corner in the future if I ever do. I highly recommend her services!

A painless and fast divorce!

While I had no property to divide and no children to negotiate custody agreements over, I did have concerns over my ex going after my retirement and pensions and potentially even spousal support. Jill listened to those concerns and took them seriously. She provided advice that was customized to my ...situation, and my extremely unpredictable ex. I was looking to hire a professional who would get me a fast and clean divorce, at a price I could afford and that was exactly what she did. I found her billing practices to be legitimate and reasonable given my situation, and she didn't try to string things out to make additional money off of me. She was also extremely impressive and prepared in front of the judge. She had anticipated questions he might ask and documents he would be looking for, and could simply pull them out of her files for him. This certainly made things easier, and eliminated the need for an additional hearing. If she hadn't been so prepared, we'd have to come back at another date which means more time off work for me and of course more time billed. Instead, she really took the time to cover all the bases and take care of my divorce as easily as possible. Divorces are not easy, no matter what the details are but I found her and her staff to be extremely polite, attentive, informative, and they kept me updated and reminded me of things I needed to do to keep this on track. Luckily, I ended up getting a referral for Jill and it worked out better than I ever could have imagined. Even if you do have kids or property to dispute, I recommend Jill because of her attention to detail and how much she cares about trying to get you through it as painlessly as possible. Not to mention the reasonable and transparent billing! Prior to getting the referral, I had gone on the internet and even this website trying to find a divorce lawyer and just felt overwhelmed. It's extremely hard to pick and choose and not many people write thorough reviews. I was a bit overwhelmed by the entire divorce process, but I felt better knowing I could just shoot her an email and get any questions answered really fast! I highly recommend Jill, and I think once you have some initial consultations you will see that when you compare her to other attorneys you will find her to be caring, detail-oriented, knowledgeable about every aspect of the law and reasonable. I can't thank her enough for getting me through this so fast and painlessly so I can now move on with my life!

Family lawyer | May 25

Relationship: Co-worker

"Jill came to work for Capistrant Law in June of 2013. The intention was to have her help support the work the firm already was managing. Jill quickly eclipsed all of that as clients sought her out and she developed her own practice. Firm, yet kind, Jill is an excellent Family Law attorney. Clients connect easily with her and trust her ability to advocate on their behalf. As the recent Chair of the Family Law Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association, she demonstrated her leadership and organizational skills while staying abreast of the many changes in family law practice in 2015. Capistrant Law picked a clear winner when Jill joined the team; any client will be served well with her as counsel. Jill works hard, is committed and caring. I highly recommend Jill to any client seeking representation in a family law matter."
