Jennifer G Feingold

I felt Jennifer made her mind up about me within seconds of our initial consultation. This was my first divorce, & I was unfamiliar with the process & scared, so I stuck it out thinking it was me who was wrong, not her. Jennifer had little regard for my concerns & insisted she knew what was best.... She rushed my case & pushed me to take offers from my ex’s counsel even though they only benefited him. My ex is abusive & my child is terrified of him. Instead of hearing me out that maybe my ex should have limited custody, she told me it was my responsibility to encourage my son to have a good relationship with his dad. I was told I needed to force my son to go to his dad’s whether he wanted to or not. She told me if my son resisted, I needed to implement strict punishments. Apparently our children’s wishes & fears don’t matter in family law. Don’t be like me & assume the attorney knows best. Jennifer did not advocate for me. She made me feel powerless & I wish I had trusted my instincts & hired a different attorney. My son is suffering because I didn’t listen to my gut. Don’t be like me. Stay away from this firm - they don’t care about their clients or children.

I obtained Jennifer Feingold over a year ago for a delicate child custody matter. I am very disappointed with the work I received from her. The end result, after my issue was wrapped up in July, was exactly what the other party wanted. Jennifer basically just got me through the process. If I knew how... to file the correct papers in the county, I would not have needed her at all. When it came to the mediation we just accepted what the other party (the other parent in my custody matter) wanted. I asked Jennifer to negotiate for me and the other party, would just say "No" to anything I suggested, and that is where it would end. No fight or representation of my wishes were ever heard. So, after the other party figured out we were just push overs, everything went their way. For example, Jennifer was unable to help me receive any credit for money I had already paid in child support, items I had bought the child for the other house, or even time that I was providing care for the child. Jennifer also did not fight for extra nights I had with the child over Holidays to be credited on a different work sheet, and I ended up paying child support on the maximum worksheet. I ended up paying 2.5X what I thought I would going to pay going into mediation. Needless to say we lost mediation and really the battle terribly. There were some very frustrating and scary behavior inhibited by the other party and her family, such as threats and vandalism. Jennifer never brought these issues to light even after she was requested to do so. On the other hand, if I had a poor reaction in anyway on text, I was thrown in the fire by all including Jennifer. Basically she did not have my back. I did not feel like she represented me, or my goals in her service. She just wanted the case over with. When our opponents showed they were going to be difficult and not compromise, she rolled over. There was no fight and she made me believe going into the conflict I would get certain things. That was far from the truth. Her team was also very unorganized. When documents were sent to me I often found sloppy documents with wrong formatting. On multiple occasions I was sent the wrong invoice, I would receive the invoice of another client. On other occasions the invoices would be incomplete and pages would be missing. When everything was wrapped up communication of receiving the remainder of my retainer was non-existent and I just received a check in the mail one day in an amount far less than what I had expected. This was the hardest time of my life and not trusting my lawyer or believing she was going to bat for me in all the situations made it that much more stressful. Since I have split ways from Jennifer Feingold, my dilemma has decreased tenfold. My current situation is 1000X better and I have found other ways to communicate and cooperate with the other parent. It truly feels awful when one is in the situation of fighting over a child and accepting the drastic changes in their life. I would chose someone that fights for you and makes you feel like you have great support. That person was not Jennifer Feingold for me.

The title truly sums up my experience with Jennifer. Divorce is such a difficult emotional and fiancial situation to face especially when there are so many assets to be divided. Jennifer provided a great deal of education, coaching and realism that was needed in preparing for settlement. You want s...omeone who has your back, understands the law and navigates the gray areas. She also set realistic expectations and kept me informed on the process. I felt that we were well prepared (as well as you can be) and proactive in pulling together what was needed to meet deadlines. I would highly recommend Jennifer and Feingold Horton for any legal matter facing you--especially in the areas of business, divorce and family law.

Why do I trust Ms. Jennifer Feingold? I know that she comes with the knowledge, experience, and the energy to fight for you and your rights. She's honest about her time and how she can help you, and will dive in head first. She's direct and does not dance around how the law works. She brings a high...er degree of service to your case as she also has a background in psychology, which I think is really important in family law matters. I've consulted and hired Ms. Feingold for post-divorce issues relating to joint decisions for my daughter . Usually it's the other party wanting to take away my rights, either legally (or emotionally), and I can't express how good or secure I feel to know I have her at my side.
