There’s a reason she has awards.

It was a relief to find Jennifer to represent me through an arduous custody case. She is wicked smart , detail-oriented, practical, and highly competent, not to mention a kind and good human being. I was very, very impressed with her in every way. She was elegant and shrewd to my opposing counsel’s s...loppy bulldog-ish way, and though the opposing counsel has one of the highest ratings in Boise, Jennifer was world’s better, and got the job done.

Expensive and Lies

I used her for my first custody case. She fails to protect your interest, she tells you what you want to hear even if it is untrue and she does a lot of shady billing. I remember later looking back at my bills and found she had charged me for drawing up the holiday schedule when my ex's attorney had ...actually dawn it up. She charged $100 for it. She lied to be on the phone and seemed to be more on my ex's side then mine. Even if I was in the wrong, which I wasn't because our case was in pretty much mutual agreement, she still seemed to be working for him instead of protecting my interests and mine are pretty severe as my ex can be volatile.

Best in Class Attorney!!

Jennifer Schindele is very professional and responsive. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to handle such a complicated legal matter. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a great divorce attorney!!

Great Attorney to have by your side!!

Jennifer Schindele was amazing to work with! My case was very exasperating at times but she handled it in such a professional way. Her expertise within her profession is second to none! Jennifer is honest, hard working but also fair and practical. A great person to have by your side when going ...through such a difficult situation.

Failed Us Completely

Reading the review that was posted in May of 2017 was like they were reading my mind. This is exactly the same with our case, and we get no responses, no answers, no advice and we had to go through all of the submitted documents to determine what was missing and what needed to be requested. We have b...een ill advised on a number of items, and I don't believe she's even reviewed our paperwork. We hired Jennifer based on a referral from a friend that used her about 10 years ago. Clearly she is now too busy to do a good job. Maybe she did a good job a decade ago, but not anymore. I only wish I'd read the reviews before choosing to hire her, rather than go off of a referral from 10 years prior. Clearly a lot can change in a decade.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
