Professional and knowledgeable

I hired Jennifer for my home purchase. I will be using her again . Very easy to reach and surprised me when she would respond to my question even late at night. She was GREAT!

Posted by Tracy | September 21, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent....Extremely Knowledgable and Professional

I hired Ms Edlund to handle my divorce. Opposing council had no qualms about being shady from the beginning...dragging his feet by filing last second extensions, helping him hide assets; the list goes on and on. She was on top of everything. She handled everything with such expertise that I didn't ev...en realize the lengths that my ex and his attorney were going to try and screw me until after it was all over. She counseled me every step of the way, preventing missteps on my end as well, to guarantee a timely and fair resolution. I've hired her several times since, for real estate and other matters, and she has yet to disappoint. I highly recommend her legal services. Top notch!

She will fight for you

My family has needed her for real estate, estate planning, and traffic court. She has gotten the traffic ticket dismissed, aND I know she took care of us for real estate and estate planning. She was very helpful to a family friend who went through a divorce as his attorney. I would recommend her fo...r anything.

Hard to reach

I used Ms. Edlund's office for a real estate transaction and to review family documents. In general, she's pleasant to work with and seems knowledgeable but difficult to get a hold of. I had to follow up more than half the time to get a response which was promised earlier. When reviewing the famil...y documents, information given was minimal and I had to ask several questions to get pertinent details. While she seems knowledgeable, be prepared to ask questions for the information you want, and be clear about the urgency of your request.
