Poor

Late to both trial days. Didn’t turn in any evidence on time with the Judge. Didn’t talk with witnesses before trial to prepare them. Didn't give me any answers I had asked her during the process. Never objected during the hearings on either day of trial, therefore I couldn’t appeal. Left me out ...of two trial dates after the trial and never contacted me to tell me.

Don't Recommend

I hired Jennifer a few years back for custody issues. I regret that decision. She would tell me one thing over the phone, and then contradict what she said in emails. When I asked her to clarify, she seemed annoyed. At one point she even told me that if I wasn't happy with her, I should find someone ...else. Which I eventually did. I should've known at our initial consultation that she wouldn't be effective, but I didn't trust my husband's judgement. In the initial meeting, my husband described her as 'mousy', which I would say is pretty accurate. When my ex's lawyer walked into the courtroom, he looked confident and ready to go; Jennifer looked unsure of herself. I also remember that she repeated herself a lot, in emails and on the phone. Overall, I didn't have a good experience with her.

Dear Anonymous, as you are no doubt aware, an attorney is limited in her ability to respond to false, misleading and defamatory reviews because of the attorney-client privilege. I'll send you a waiver form to sign which would allow me to respond to what you've posted, which I hope you'll be willing to sign.

5 star attorney

I would recommend Jennifer for any divorce case, she helped me and my family through a very rough and long divorce, but she saw the case through. She more than prepared herself for the fight and was the bull dog in the court room I needed. She is a 5 star attorney, worth every penny spent!

EXCELLENT!

FANTASTIC! So many good things to say about this law firm. Jennifer was incredible. I never even got to meet her as I am out-of-state and went based off of the reviews on Avvo. She did a fantastic job for me! Trust in her! You will not be letdown!

Thank you, Jennifer!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Jennifer for helping me through my divorce process. My ex-husband made everything as difficult as he could and made me want to scream. But Jennifer helped me keep my sanity and stay calm and got things to work out in the end just like she said.

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.
