Best money ever spent!

Jennifer was the best attorney ever! I am so glad that I spent the money to have her represent me in my divorce and since then to consult about parenting agreement matters. She is the best at what she does.

Excellent Attorney

Jennifer Knies represented me in two separate criminal defense cases. I was falsely accused of theft and harassment. I needed someone to prove my innocence and not only did Jennifer do just that, but she had both cases thrown out by the district attorney before we even made it to trial. A true profe...ssional, compassionate, caring and attention to detail. I highly recommend as I couldn't have picked a better attorney for this case.

Representation

I am very happy with Jennifers performance. She is a very trustworthy professional and came highly recommended from a personal attorney friend of mine. I have and would recommend Jennifer's service to any of my clients, friends, and family members. Thank you Jennifer for the amazing service that y...ou provided for me.

5 Stars !

Jen sets herself apart from other lawyers by the simple act of listening. She doesn't rush to conclusions, try to finish your sentences, or brag about her many past wins in the courtroom. Immediately I felt that she really cared about what I was going through. She let me say my peace, asked some furt...her questions about my situation, and then explained what I was up against and how she could help. From the time I met her to the conclusion of my case, I always felt she was giving me 100 percent.

Worth every penny!!!

I have been a client with these guys and gals for about 6 years now. Jen has been my lawyer for about 8 months or so. She is very honest and clear on how things need to go. She is in good graces with all around her. She understands the military system as well which can be difficult to find an honest ...lawyer who does. I live in another state so our communications was done via email (less expensive too) and on the day of court it was over the phone. Between her and her team I had no worries. Any question I asked was answered within a day. I was always updated from her paralegal (less expensive too) on what was going on with the case. I was never left in the dark nor was any decision made without me knowing about it first. She always looked out in my best interest and really thought our out all possible scenarios. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The only downfall which I'm sure is every middle class Americans complaint would be it's expensive. But you pay for what you get and as my title states worth every penny.
