The Unconventional Strategist

Aside from legal strategy, Jackie's greatest asset is her uncanny intuition and deep understanding of the people involved in the dispute. She doesn't rely solely on conventional methods. Instead, she approaches a case with a highly personalized and perceptive reading of the personalities on the... opposing side, allowing her to anticipate moves and secure leverage where others might miss it. This ability to read people is key to her success. If you need an attorney who combines profound legal knowledge with sharp insight to achieve breakthrough results, she's the one to hire.

Stay away!!

Horrible. Did nothing and charged me $3500. My wife filed for divorce and basically wouldn't let me see my son. I fired her after 3 weeks of her doing nothing and me having a nervous breakdown numerous times in her office and hired somebody who filed an emergency mortion the next day and I saw my ...son the day after and have seen him regularly sinch. She never even told me that was possible.

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.

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.
