Very satisfied

Jillian Wood was a great attorney. My case had been in court for three years with no end in sight for a simple parenting plan modification that should have been resolved fairly easily. Jillian stepped in and had it handled professionally and accurately. Everything came out fair in the end and in orde...r to have that done, you need good representation. Before Jillian, I had two attorneys and never knew what good representation was; they took all my money and did nothing for me. Jillian is affordable, easy to work with, and very understanding; she is knowledgeable about family law and knows how to get a case resolved. Jillian knew what she was doing in the courtroom when it didn’t seem like the other attorneys did. Highly recommend!

Divorce

This is my first divorce I was looking online trying to find a Divorce attorney before I got served my papers. I came across Mrs. Wood profile I gave her a call I had to leave a message but she called me right back within 30 minutes after me leaving the message. We started talking I was telling her ...what was going on she heard the fear in my voice, After listing to what I had going on she calmly explained what the next steps would be, we talked for almost and hour, now mind you she wasn't my lawyer at this time but she was willing to talk to me and calm me down. Mrs. Jillian Wood is the best, she's knowledgeable caring and patient. If there is something you don't understand she makes sure to break it down to where you have an understanding of what's going on. When my divorce got on the way in January of 2022 I didn't worry about anything because I knew I was in good hands and she fought for me. Her rates are the best very affordable. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is. If you are in the process of a divorce please contact her you will not be disappointed. By the way everything went in my favor so you know I'm happy. She ROCKS!!!

A Thank you & Review is a drop in the bucket to my debt of gratitude!

She is the most detailed and caring attorney! She goes in all heart, energy and spirit without hesitation to time or day! She does not tell you what you want to hear but truth and puts everything she can into a case. She gave me her personal cell to have for holidays, weekends and after hours when my... ex felt more empowered to try things. I value her time and she values mine by responding quickly and efficiently even to verify my understanding of court documents! Her knowledge and caring are off the charts and she is worth her fees in gold! In my opinion there is no other attorney I would want representing myself, family or friends!

Most Dedicated

Thanks to Ms. Jillian Wood of the Stange Law Firm. She helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life. It is clear that God led me to the BEST attorney around. Ms. Wood is a very talented and knowledgeable attorney and a true professional. She is also very compassionate and extremely... dedicated to her cases. She continually brought an overwhelming peace to me during this time due to her abundant knowledge and dedication. Ms. Wood cares for her clients and the outcome of the case. If you are going through family, child custody/visitation, child support, etc. issue - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND without hesitation, Ms. Jillian Wood and the Stange Law Firm.
