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.

Best lawyer in the history of lawyers!

I was referred to Jen through a mutual friend who served in the Army with her. Jen took on 3 of my cases at the same time and has put equal effort into each. She has made my 6 children her priority throughout my extremely messy divorce case. Jen is exceptionally professional and never loses her cool ...in court, no matter what the opposing counsel throws at her. She is highly respected by the judges we have seen and obviously knows her stuff. She is a fantastic communicator and is not intimidated by anything. She also is hilarious and very personable. I'd recommend her to anyone!
