Thanks to Jeannine Parker-Ross...

Jeannine truly cares about her clients. She has helped me fight for child support and is currently helping me change visitation rights with my child's father due to a change in my career status. She has also worked with me on payments. I have been her client for roughly 3 years now and have always... paid in a satisfactory time limit. I recently have been in a financial struggle and asked if I could receive a discount on my balance due to my good history of making payments and sure enough she did get me the discount in which, I am entirely grateful for. Not only has she helped me with my case but she has also worked with payments. Highly recommend Jeannine for hiring.

Great attorney! Great results!

Jeannine represented me in my divorce. I was married for over 20 years. Jeannine fought for my rights and came out with a settlement I was very happy with. Jeannine was ethical and got me through a difficult time. I would highly recommend her!

Divorce & Mediation

Jeannine Parker-Poss was helpful throughout an uncomfortable process with a divorce. Upon the final decision from the judge, she was able to work magic to seemlessly make a difficult situation doable. Furthermore, I recommended her to two other colleagues and she was able to mediate and conclude th...eir divorce procedures as well. I have recently come back to her for advice on a different matter and she openly offers legal suggestions.

Highly recommend!!

Jeanne helped me through my divorce four years ago and has been there for every minor or major hiccup through the divorce, child support and custody issues. I have sent friends to her who she has done the same for. To this day I can still call her for anything and she remembers everything and treat...s me like I am her top priority. I would never use another attorney for anything. She not only is extremly professional but she is truly personable and puts children and their well being first.

Posted by Amanda | March 14, 2013 | Child Custody

Don't know what I would do without Ms. Parker-Ross

I first met Ms. Parker-Ross in 2010 when my ex husband decided on his own to stop visitation with our oldest daughter and then 5 months later after no contact decided to come back and demand visits again. Ms Parker-Ross acted in the best interest of my daughter and made sure that her voice was heard.... Since then I have retained Ms. Parker-Ross almost on a regular basis for various custody and visitation issues, she always fights for what is right and keep the best interest of the children her first priority! She has never let me down and she is 100% on their side despite being retained by me. I trust her completely and as long as I have to deal with these unfortunate circumstances I will be sure to keep Ms. Parker Ross on my side!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
