Specific Information and Fast Response

We had an issue that was of a somewhat urgent nature and our initial consultation was scheduled within 24 hours. We contacted Jennifer on a Friday, spoke multiple times including late afternoon, and hired her that evening, just before she had to board a plane to leave town. She worked for us over the... weekend, including preparing docs and phoning us while out of town.

Amazing Experience

I contacted Jennifer for consultation in regards to a stressful situation with my leasing office. I had recently relocated for a job in the state of Texas, and was unaware of my rights as a tenant. Jennifer promptly advised my rights and steps to take in order to protect myself from the management te...am at my apartment complex. I appreciate how thorough and knowledgeable Jennifer is. Thank you Jennifer for helping me through a stressful move in a new state. I recommend using Jennifer and her firm for any legal needs with tenant-landlord issues.

Very Knowledgeable and Helpful

Jennifer is very thorough and provided legal guidance in a simple, step by step manner; while providing more than one option in case one option doesn't work. I would highly recommend working with Jennifer as she is extremely helpful and does not make you feel rushed. Her critical thinking skill...s and responsiveness are an asset to any client. I was able to get a call back the same day (she even called after 5 pm).

Great, Honest Attorney

I called Jennifer’s office on a Wednesday morning to schedule a consultation, had the consultation Thursday morning, and got our landlord to release us from our lease by Thursday afternoon- all thanks to Jennifer’s terrific advice. I went into the consultation fully prepared to hire her, but she conv...inced me to continue negotiating with the landlord myself before having her step in. I appreciate that she had the integrity to tell me this when she could have easily made a quick buck by taking my case on. I emailed her a follow up question and she got back to me extremely quickly with a thorough answer.

Landlord kept my deposit

I hired Jennifer as my attorney without any references and I'm glad I did, that's the main reason why I'm writing this review so people that needs an attorney for the same reason I did at least have a review to go by, first of all from the very first phone call, Jennifer expianed to me what was the l...aw in Texas when it comes to landlords keeping security deposits and that alone helped me to make my decision in hiring an attorney or not, she did explain to me I had a case and from the moment I hired her to the very end of my case she was there either via email or phone call, What I think it was excepcional was that I really didn't want to have final confrontation with my landlord and she even helped me with that by making the processs really easy, I did get my deposit back, every penny of if, not even once I had to lose a day of work to go her office and sign paperwork, everything I signed, I did it from my phone without driving anywhere and that alone is priceless because in a situation like this, the last thing you want to do is miss work and money as well. Bottom line my experience was great and in a way I can even say it was painless to get my money back.
