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.

She was great

Jill managed my divorce. She and her team were thorough and efficient. She worked hard to understand what I wanted and advocated for me. She tried to make sure things were resolved through mediation whenever possible so that we could avoid heavy court fees. I would absolutely hire her again.

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.
