Honest, Responsive and Professional

I have worked with this firm on three occasions. An adoption, wills and other personal legal documents and most recently a divorce. In all cases I felt I was with the best. Jill provided answers, options and always a kind word. She handled my case with grace and yet was able to keep things moving.... While fair, I always knew she my interests in focus. She asked the right questions, provided the answers and research. She is the one to go to when these very difficult times arise. Jill always made sure I was comfortable with the process and understood each step being taken, by both parties. She was always prepared, very honest and extremely responsive. I highly recommend Jill as a professional with a heart.

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.
