The finest elder care attorney in Dallas

Compassion. Expertise. Perseverance in the pursuit of justice. There are no adequate words to describe what Jennifer Vermillion brings to the table. Trying to assist my father from across the country would have been an impossible task without Jennifer taking the reins and leading us through a proce...ss filled with innumerable hurdles, difficult personalities and a few land mines. She never wavered and managed to accomplish miracles. My elderly, ill father, who was on the verge of homelessness as a result of being served with divorce papers, is now living in a safe, secure environment.

Veteran - Woke up with $100,000 in my account

I’m an Army Veteran who requested Jennifer’s help in representing me in my VA appeal for benefits. My main goal was to prove service connection for my disability so I could continue getting needed medication through the VA. Her expert knowledge on the VA appeal system had not only gotten me service c...onnection for my medication, but also got me back pay from the time I left service, about 3.5 years ago. Other than unknowingly waking up with $100,000 in my bank account, she had great communication throughout the entire process. She’s extremely knowledgeable on the VA appeal procedures and any Veteran needing help, I would highly recommend for you to contact her. On a side note to all my fellow Brothers and Sisters who have served, do not allow your ego or pride to get in the way of asking for or receiving help. You are worth it.

Great lawyer who will take the time.

I am from NY but, my father passed away in Texas. Through phone and email conversations Jennifer walked me through this complicated and not always timely process. Process that I thought had no value and had no patients for were explained and outlined for me. We took the process one step at a time ...and when there was a branching where we could go into different directions, Jennifer explained my options and what she believed was best for me, not what put the most dollars into her pocket. (An example of this would be taking more time upfront to become an independent executor) She was supportive of my decision and did not attempt to sway me from making personal attempts at parts of the process I could do. In the same breath she was there when I asked for extra help. An example of this would be when she accompanied me to one particular combative bank where resolution was not certain. She was attired properly and presented herself well in court, and seemed to be well known in the probate court area by other lawyers, staff, and officiates. The best thing I like …. Was that she treated me the same before and after I had some money (funds were tight there for a few) I would recommend her.

Vermillion Law Firm: MUST HIRE for estate planning

I hired this firm because we had a complex issues involving property in LA + TX for an aged family member. I selected Vermillion because she is licensed in both states so I decided to call her office. I was impressed that I spoke to one of the partners (Jennifer V) to describe my issue as opposed to ...talking to a paralegal. The onsite (free) consultation was just what I needed. Jennifer listened attentively and asked all the right questions to identify options that were best suited for my aged parents and their estate. She uncovered our hidden need even though I wasn't sure what questions to ask. She accomplished this because she is experienced, thorough and concerned about the client. Her follow up AND follow through is impressive. She says what she's going to do for you and she does it. She is extremely proactive and responsive. After handling my parents estate, I hired her to create a plan for my own family and I'm so glad I did. Jennifer exceeded my expectations in several areas specifically in her approach, her knowledge and commitment to us. Spend a little time explaining your need / issue and I'm confident Jennifer Vermillion will provide a quality solution and a great experience.
