Review Jennifer Kearney

Jennifer

Posted by

Ms Kearney has and is working on my behalf for different cases. I have not been disappointed once. She is kind, compassionate, understanding and knows the "in's and the out " of her business extremely well. I highly recommend her for your needs!!! Do not walk into the courtroom without her on your side.

Smooth closing

Posted by

I hired Jennifer to handle my home purchase. Throughout the process Jennifer was meticulous with protecting my interests while keeping the process moving. Jennifer explained my closing documents in a way that I could easily understand, and I had no reservations about my purchase with Jennifer representing me despite having several additional documents and commitments attached to my purchase with which I had no previous experience. I would highly recommend Jennifer Kearney as legal counsel in any purchase or sale of property.
