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.

Jill Frieders excellent representation

I consulted with Jill to help me with a very upsetting and sensitive divorce case. Jill handled my case with not only with superb knowledge but also expedited it. I was granted a divorce in a matter of 4 months because ever detail was executed perfectly. I am so thankful for her and I would highly... recommend her to anyone.

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.
