Honest, trustworthy and straightforward

I used Jennifer Burkhead’s services not only for my divorce but again when problems arose after my divorce. In unvarnished truth Jennifer will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. She has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never looses site of the goal, whi...ch is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for her client. She never “sugar coated” a situation being straightforward and was a bulldog in the Court room. Jennifer has an unbelievable presence in the Court room, (and I now understand how crucial this is). There were never empty promises made to me, only results. She was an invaluable resource to my case. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the law are unsurpassed. If you are in the situation and are looking for representation, I strongly recommend in contacting Jennifer.

The absolute best!

Attorney Jennifer Burkhead did a phenomenal job at representing me during my divorce. She made the process run smoothly, and fought for my rights as her client. I was not required to go to court with her until the judge was ready to sign the decree. She represented me very well in my absence, and her... competence, knowledge, and thoroughness helped to relieve my anxieties. She was honest and forthright in explaining how things would work, and what she would be able to accomplish or not. I have the utmost respect for her, as she upholds her practice to the highest of standards. I would (and I have) recommended her to others.

Stellar Family Law Attorney

I never thought I would find myself in the kind of situation that would require the services of a Divorce Attorney. A few years ago, I found Ms. Burkhead based on her positive ratings and reviews from internet legal searches and personal referrals. I contacted her office while I was facing Divorce ...from my troubled wife. My ex had become highly addicted to prescription medications and our marriage deteriorated leaving me no choice but to do what was best for me and my children. I couldn't have found a better attorney! Every step of the way, Ms. Burkhead and her assistant kept me in the loop; hearing my concerns, giving me honest feedback and using her knowledge and experience to chart where she thought we stood in the short and long term of our case and any resolutions. Throughout the process, I felt like a partner and active participant in my case. It was a hugely positive experience. In my specific situation, Ms. Burkhead was able to successfully negotiate a settlement, negotiate with the opposing council, and keep court appearances minimal. I was tremendously happy with her results. Ms. Burkhead/her assistant and I tended to communicate most easily by email and texting; it made everything flow smoothly and saved me a lot of time. In my experience, Ms. Burkhead is a tremendously sharp, compassionate, intelligent, and hardworking attorney. Plus, she's got an awesome sense of humor. I would definitely hire her again or recommend her to friends and family.

Highly Effective

I hired Miss Burkhead last year for a case after working with another attorney who kept dragging my case out longer and longer. After being extremely frustrated, and losing faith in the judicial system, a friend mentioned Miss Burkhead was able to get her divorce done efficiently and in a timely fash...ion. I met her for a consult and she immediately put my mind at ease. After spinning my wheels with the other attorney for over a year, Miss Burkhead had my case completed in a matter of months. She showed up on time, was professional, and fought for everything that I asked for. I could not have been more pleased with the end result. I would refer anyone who wants someone to fight for them to Miss Burkhead.
