Great Lawyer

Jennifer is a great attorney. She always kept me in the loop. Her staff - especially Susan - is wonderful. I will recommend her to my friends and family.

Just What I needed!

Jennifer is strong in court but is easy going in the office. She helped me through what felt in the beginning like an impossible situation. I will recommend her in the future.

Amazing Attorney

If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, personable, & responsible attorney, look no further. Jennifer Beeler is amazing! She drafted my Will and helped make changes to my 85 year old Aunt's Will. She is patient, responsive, listens & is thorough. If you have any questions, she expla...ins things very well & makes sure you understand. She makes the process easier & she is someone you can trust. Really.... this is the attorney you are looking to hire.

Empathetic, clear, efficient and trustworthy. She is everything you need, nothing you don't.

Never in a million years did I think I would be divorced, let alone writing an extremely positive review for a divorce attorney. Let's be honest, no one really wants to hire a divorce attorney, even if you're ready to move forward in life. Jennifer was an absolute blessing to me and my son un...der the very worst of circumstances. I won't divulge details, but, common opinion is the circumstance of my divorce were exceptionally difficult both emotionally and logistically. Jennifer was always readily available by email, phone, or text. We were in nearly daily contact. She was extremely responsive, professional, thorough, and clear. She made every overwhelming situation feel more manageable. There was always a clear understanding of what next steps were to be taken. She set very reasonable expectations of what the process would entail and the likely outcomes- sometimes it was not what I wanted to hear, but it was always the truth and prepared me for the reality of the court system. Jennifer was my attorney, but she also become my confidant and partner to weather the storm. She cared deeply about getting my life back on track and making sure my son was set up for lifelong success.  As my divorce ended in 2019, I truly became a little scared to face the storm alone. She had been my voice of reason and support. I really didn't want to lose the feeling of her support, empathy.... her safety net and protection. I haven't. She and I have remained in contact and I know she still deeply cares and shares in the joy of my new life unfolding. She has helped in several issues since then, always timely and without making me feel like Im just one of her invaluable, former clients. I was referred to Jennifer by a friend of mine who shares the exact same sentiments and gratitude for Jennifer. I have referred 3 friends to Jennifer. All 3 of my friends deeply appreciated her thorough, clear, direct approach. I am grateful for her high standard of class and professionalism. I respect Jennifer deeply and it was clear her years of varied legal experience makes her respected by the court as well. Oh, and the fees? Her fees are extremely reasonable given she is direct and efficient. She does not waste time or money. In fact, I expected my last bill to be quite a bit higher than it was.  She was my second attorney, and far more reasonable than my first. My only wish was that I had Jennifer from the very beginning.
