Estate Planning

We recently set up a trust for our family with Jennifer. She was able to assist us with some very specific terms we desired and also made other recommendations that we didn't think of but included as well. We will definitely recommend her.

Posted by Theo | June 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Highly recommend

Jennifer handled both my divorce and the sale of my condo. She was indispensable. Prepared, efficient, kind and always reachable by phone or email, it was a pleasure to work with her.

Posted by Melissa | June 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Excellent service and guidance

I worked with Jennifer to create a will, medical will and transfer on deed of my property. She made the whole process very simple, had quick turnaround times and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I would recommend her to anyone seeking solid expertise and pleasant, fast service.

Trust

We did a trust with her. She explained everything very clearly. Returned our phone calls quickly and never rushed us off the phone with our questions.

Posted by anonymous | June 18, 2014 | Estate Planning

Wonderful experience

We were dreading getting our legal affairs in order after our kids were born. Who wants to think about death when you are still on a baby high but we knew it had to be done. We found Jennifer through NPN and knew she was the lawyer for us after our first conversation- she is very friendly, knowledgea...ble and patient (we needed some nudging to get our butts in gear after we started). She took what can be a very overwhelming process and made it less daunting which is a huge task if you ask me. She was always easy to reach and responsive and answered all our questions. She even researched the legal requirements for North Carolina after we decided to move-during the middle of estate planning process. I will be recommending her to all of our friends.

"Although I have worked with many attorneys throughout my career, Jennifer distinguishes herself in several ways. First, unlike many attorneys, she is easily accessible and eager to answer questions as they arise. Second, she is truly an expert.
