She is one of the best, I recommend Judi. -Flora

Posted by Jason | December 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

This was my first experience with an attorney who followed through on all her promises!

Judith Jenz was outstanding. I needed an attorney for child support modification since my ex-wife had been collecting support for my son, who no longer lived with her. I live over 2000 miles away, which made things a bit more complicated in my eyes. I found Judith on Google Maps and chose her mainly ...based on her close proximity to the courthouse. It just doesn't seem rational to pay an attorney his or her rates to drive back and forth to the courthouse. Reviews through the Google Maps app were limited, but promising. On the phone, she was pleasant--professional, yet friendly and sincere. My case was a bit different than most, and Judith mentioned a couple details that were not like anything she had encountered before. What gave me comfort was that she had a logical plan, which included some simple strategies to minimize cost without compromising effectiveness. Where the shock came in was that it all panned out just as she intended. She saved me thousands compared to what I have experienced with other attorneys and thousands more after successfully eliminating my support obligations. She gave great advice all along the journey, and stayed true to her word the whole way through. After this experience, I wouldn't even think about choosing another attorney. She's an honest win in my book!

Very professional and great to work with. I would hire her again!

Judy, recently represented me in a divorce. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through the same situation. Unlike other lawyers she goes out of her way to make sure you are not spending money and time on issues or items that do not make sense. She is fair, understanding and a great listener.... She is very patient and kind in dealing with tough situations. She also does a great job giving you reasonable options and is one of the nicest lawyers I ever met. She was very professional and tough when she needed to be and it was a good balance to have in dealing with a divorce and other lawyer.

Agreed Order and a Will - Great Job - All Done Quickly!

Judi did a great job getting a complicated Agreed Order completed for me and in the process I revised my will too! She was professional and a great listener. She heard what I wanted to accomplish and helped me get there. She was available and communicated well throughout the process. I would high...ly recommend Judi for quick work on a will and for more complicated legal needs. She kept me on track, got creative and got the job done!!

Judith M. Bolles-Jenz

I would highly recommend obtaining Judi as counsel. Aside from her proficiency and professionalism, she also helped make a difficult divorce experience more manageable. At a very vulnerable time I felt that I was in very capable hands. As a result of her efforts and successes, I was pleased with t...he outcome of reaching a settlement that was fair with the best interests of my family as the priority. Her understanding and caring personality balances well with her expertise in the courtroom.
