Caring, Compassionate and Competent

Jenny handled my estate planning, she was very knowledgable, informative, and easy to talk to. She answered all of my questions and I never felt rushed through the appointment or a phone call. I would highly recommend this attorney and will be contacting her again if needed in the future.

Amazing!

Not only was Jenny attentive to my case, she considered every aspect of the case and helped me through the entire process. You can’t find a better attorney in my opinion!

Compassionate Attorney!

Jenny was very helpful to my family during our time of need. She worked with us to help us understand the succession process and was always willing to answer all of our questions. After the experience with the succession, several of us decided to use her for our personal estate planning needs. I h...ad called many attorneys for estimates on costs and fees and she was by far the most reasonable! I highly recommend Jenny!

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.
