She's the absolute best

Attorney Bennett is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. She had a very calming demeanor and doesn't sugarcoat things. She outlines facts clearly, point out red flags and comes up with lines of action that are doable. You can never go to her and not come out of her office without feeling reassure...d, and she is committed to your case till it is won.

Jen Rocks!!

I was referred to Jennifer by a friend, and i couldn't be happier with the choice to have her represent me. She was very open about the options available to me, and i got a very real sense that she cared about my situation. She was able to help file my citizenship application, and kept me abreast of... developments as they arose. As a courtesy, she even escorted me to the interview for free.

Highly Recommend Jennifer Bennett

I would recommend Jennifer Bennett to any of my friends and/or colleagues (and in fact have). I was dealing with a landlord/tenant issue when the apartment building I resided in changed ownership. A friend of mine referred me to Ms. Bennett. She was very responsive to my request for help. She listen...ed carefully and explained all my options thoroughly to me. She also gave me best and worst case scenarios so that I could prepare myself for all of the possibilities. I believe she worked very hard on my case. If I had a question, she responded to my emails or phone calls in a timely manner. She maintained contact with the attorney for the other party and kept me aware of any and all developments with the case. Without her, I know the situation would not have been handled as quickly nor as smoothly as it was. I had not had to use an attorney before and had heard horror stories from others. However, I did not have a negative experience at all and highly recommend Ms. Bennett. She made a difficult situation much more manageable for me and she had my best interests in mind throughout her work on my case. Her hard work resulted in a favorable outcome for me, for which I am thankful.

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.
