Outstanding attorney

Jill did an excellent job helping me navigate the complex family court system. Her expertise and confident understanding of child custody matters provided me with the strong representation I needed for a high conflict divorce and custody case. Jill and her team were very responsive and helpful with a...ll aspects of my case. I would highly recommend Jill for divorce and custody matters.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Jill Frieders has my highest recommendation. If you are going through a divorce, you definitely need Ms. Frieders. She has been a true professional throughout my divorce, even when the opposing attorney was not. She helped me properly navigate the mine-field of divorce that I wish upon no one. Ms. F...rieders was extremely clear and straight forward. She was always well prepared and brilliantly argued my case in court. She was very clear in explaining the various steps going through this seemingly never ending process. Most importantly she helped me maintain my sanity in dealing with an ever-growing bitter, angry, and hostile ex-wife. If you are looking for well-rounded, driven, and meticulous legal assistance, Jill is your person! You definitely want Jill on your side. She is a highly competent family law attorney and offers wise counsel. She is a rare find.

Excellent Lawyer and legal team!

Ms Frieders and her legal team have been amazing! I've been involved in a complicated and lengthy (18 months and counting) unexpected custody battle over my twins, which has included numerous court hearings, evidentury trial, and his appeal, etc. Ms. Frieders is personable and extremely knowledgeable... and quick to respond to my questions and the other Atty's communication. Her legal team has been so helpful and are also knowledgeable and easy to get along with. I'm very satisfied with her representation and I know she has my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Ms. Frieders!

Excellent Attorney

I initially began working with Jill frieders regarding parenting time questions I had after a recent divorce. Unbenounced to me that very simple meeting evolved into a full-blown child custody battle a year later. It was incredibly difficult to walk through the complexity of the case and Jill Frieder...s carried herself with the utmost confidence and ability to navigate each challenge. She was there to assist us in finding resolutions and help put our son's well- being as the primary focus. I highly recommend Jill Frieders to anyone who's looking for a skilled knowledgeable family law attorney. I will always be grateful for the work she did for our family.

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.
