Jennifer is the best!

I bought my first home last week and Jennifer was amazing! I waited until the absolute last minute to get a lawyer and she still took the time to explain everything to me and answered every question I had. She will be my first and only choice for any future needs I have. Hire her, you definitely won’...t regret it.

Real estate transaction

Jennifer was awesome I love her energy and the experience she brought to my loan process. Her knowledge of my real estate transaction gave me the comfort I needed.

Client-Focus, Responsive

Used for a real estate closing that presented some unique challenges throughout the process. Ms. Kearney's experience, tenacity, and finesse really exceeds the standard today. Highly-Recommend this practice.

She was a great help to us

We were thankful to have Jennifer Kearney as our attorney for the sale of our home and closing. She answered all our questions and helped us get through the process with ease. She always responded quickly to any concerns. She is professional and also a very pleasant person. Thank you, Jennifer!

Home Purchase Contract

Jennifer is an excellent attorney. She helped us with our home purchase contract. She carefully reviewed all details and provided us explanations during our negotiations with the home seller. She reviewed details of the closing contract. She worked quickly with all parties and successfully helped us ...achieve our goal.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
