This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Worst representation ever

I had the worst representation ever with this lawyer. Very painful divorce which she made worst with her bullying. I had no experience what so ever and followed her lead......worst mistake ever. She never fought for my interests and her only interest was to close the mediation process as soon as poss...ible using a "friend" as a mediator. I lost everything because she made me sign a mediation that I had no clue it was a document basically written in stone. She made me believe things could be changed. But, the worst was the bullying...... by phone, email, in person.......She seemed to be on my side until I paid the retainer, after that, it was a painful process, more than the divorce itself. I would never recommend her not even if my life depended on it.

A lawyer, and so much more

I don't have the words to say how incredibly lucky I was to be referred to Jennifer. She is ethical, professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. Beyond that, though is where she makes such an impression. Jennifer is sincerely interested in the best interest of her client and worked for many years w...ith me in a very sticky situation until it was finally resolved. Jennifer is and always will be a part of my whole family. My children all adore her, and as adults they appreciate what she did for us even more than they did at the time. Thank you, Jennifer.

Client Review

Jennifer was the best lawyer I could have had. She stepped me through, coached me and supported me through a very difficult event. She was able to answer any questions that I ever had. It was very obvious that Jennifer was looking out for the best interest of my daughter and knew that that was the mo...st important thing. She's GREAT at what she does.

JAB Review - Divorce / Custody

In my first divorce, I was primarily at fault in the marriage ending, Jennifer was the opposing attorney. When the need for my second divorce arose, where I was not at fault in the marriage ending, I wanted Jennifer on my side based on my past experience against her on "the other side". Very know...ledgable and explained the process each step along the way. Final decree and several appeals were handled very professionally. I was the father of a male toddler and was successful in gaining primary custody.

Jennifer was, quite simply, great. She represented me and my interests at all times, but did so with grace and understanding relative to the family situation that existed. She is so, so knowledgeable about family dynamics associated with divorce and child custody situations that it saved me a ton o...f time and heartache, and allowed me to in all situations make decisions that were responsible to myself and to my child. Ultimately, I was awarded custody of my child. Given the situation which my family was in, this was so, so great for my daughter. Jennifer places a very, very high value on being a responsible parent, and was able to negotiate not only the best conditions and arrangement for my daughter and myself, but was also able to work within the limitations of our familial estate. I am so greatful for her expertise and for her ability to mix superb legal work with the human dynamics that were ongoing in my situation.

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.
