A compassionate lawyer who cares and gets the job done!!

Jill was an amazing lawyer. She was very easy to talk to. Jill was very compassionate to my needs, but at the same time got down to what needed to be done. She made me strong when I was weak!! Jill was very knowledgeable! She got the job done. Jill is a very good lawyer and she really cares about her... clients and their well being. She did safety checks on me often which I really appreciated.

Impeccable

I went through two lawyers (liars) who I will happily name when asked, who lied about their experiences and the knowldege they retained relatedly to my divorce. Upon further research I was blessed to meet with Gail Petrich from whom I recieved many names of attorneys she believed could help me. In ...the end it come down to one. Jill Rappin. My divorce was horrific because of the Attachment Based Parental Alientation being pepretuated onto my children from my former spouse. Jill, having studied extensively about ABPA knew exactly how to approach the situation in court. Her expertise was "BAR NONE" as we dealt with the contentious divorce as well as everything the previous attorneys screwed up. The process ended with heartbreaking outcomes that scream to the archaic perspective, knowldege, and approach of the Family Court System. But, as far as Jill Rappin is concerned, I know that if I would have discovered her earlier in my divorce process the outome would have been dramatically different. I will never seek another attorney than Jill Rappin.

Excellent Attorney

Jill Rappin is an amazing lawyer. She is knowledgeable and well respected in her field. Jill worked on my case for almost 3 years on and off. She was well prepared for court and always had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend Jill Rappin.

A genuine and caring attorney

Jill is a great family law attorney. She genuinely cares about the family's of the cases she takes on. She is smart, honest and clever when it comes to practicing law. During my family law case I always felt she was on my side, that she really cared about what happened to me and my family. Jill i...s honest with you about your case and what all the possibility could be. I never felt that I did't know what to expect or what was happening. Jill always kept me informed. She is a great attorney, sharp, smart and a quick thinker. We had to go to trial on my case and she represented me wonderfully! She is always prepared and came to court ready to win! I would recommend Jill to anyone who needs a family law attorney. My case was very complicated and she got me the outcome I was looking for. I am 100% confident she would be able to do the same for others as well.

Jill Rappin- strong, through, efficient, caring and mindful.

Jill is efficient, caring and thorough! She helped me to understand my current case, and attempted negotiations to prevent court. I am confident with her by my side. Divorce and post divorce court are really stressful, and during these diffucult times you will want a legal team who makes sure YOU... and your CHILDREN are protected.
