Family Law

Jennifer is by far the absolute worse attorney you could possibly hire! I told her upon hiring her that me and the mother of my child were not able to come to an agreement but Jennifer continued to use all of my funds for "telephone conference with opposing". $105 for each of these several phone conf...erences that I knew nothing about. Finally had to fire her and have slept much better ever since.

Lawyer use

I hired Ms. Berger to represent me in my divorce of a 30 yr marriage with no children. Took three years to finalize. What was obviously mine was NOT fought for. Husband was certified GM mechanic and had $30,000 worth of tools and equipment which when auction was held---his tools were not there. $...25 worth of rusty hammers and broken saw blades were submitted for sale. His tools were hidden at his mother's garage. My husband had a "friend" appraise his race truck. I knew the tires on the truck were worth thousands as they were special racing slicks and I paid the check that purchased them. His truck was appraised at $1500 instead of $40,000 and my lawyer Jennifer accepted that. She did not FIGHT or correct the wrongs. I would not recommend her unless you want to be your own lawyer and fight the battle yourself. I lost big time financially in the settlement due to my "not knowing" and the first time I was ever in a court battle. My mistake for hiring someone who wouldn't go the extra mile to get what was rightfully and legally mine. I would not recommend for a divorce lawyer as my divorce should have been cut and dried---easy to prove. And I had proof to back up what the true values were on everything. She just would not pursue the real values for me when I was emotionally lost.

Sorry if you had a bad experience, divorce is an upsetting time for everyone involved. Neither your name or the facts sound familiar to me at all and I strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns.
