Above and Beyond my expectations.

In going through an unwanted divorce as Defendant, and soon to be ex-wife making fantastic claims, I was very fortunate to have Jill Bolton represent my issues in the divorce. Jill stated her expectations for the outcome of my divorce at our very first meeting. I honestly didn't think what Jill expec...ted was possible. Not only was it possible, it is exactly what happened. In reading other testimonials about Bolton Law, you will notice that everyone calls her Jill. Not Ms. Bolton, or generically Bolton Law, but Jill. That is because you develop a personal relationship with her, even in this professional circumstance. Jill is open, warm, friendly, present, and above all else, extremely gifted in Law and the legal application of our rights under those laws. Jill is tenacious, informed, and pro-active on our behalf. The MyCase portal that she and my assistant Alexis in her office use, is up to the moment with developments and information for quick, easy, and confidential communications between us. Alexis is also extremely good at what she does and reflected Jill's ethos and approach to my divorce case. Jill's fee schedule is worth every penny and then some. You pay as you go, and get billed monthly, which is convenient, and to my surprise, was a lot less than I expected. Most people like me say "I can't afford an attorney". Trust me, you can't afford to NOT have Jill as your attorney. As a side note: At one point during the divorce, my ex told me that I had the best attorney in the Inland Empire, and "How did I get her?" My ex could only have come to that conclusion from her own attorney group. To the best of my knowledge, our divorce has been her only interaction or point of reference for legal services for the course of her life. I have secured the services of my ex's legal group in the past, and considered them to be very good, and am happy to report that for our divorce, my ex retained them first. The point being, Jill and her staff are respected at a level of competence and tenacity by her peers that I find comforting. My divorce was emotionally devastating at the very least, and Jill understands that. By her very nature, she was empathetic to my distress and sorrow. I never felt like I was "just another client" or source of revenue. She cares and it shows. In closing, I can't thank Jill, Alexis, and Bolton Law, enough for their handling of my case. I will refer anyone that I come in contact with who needs legal representation to Jills' office. I will also use Jill in any capacity that she practices in, for any future needs I may have.

Great experience

My family cannot thank Jill Bolton and her team at Bolton Law enough! Their professional and timely help eased the stress of terminating the natural rights of my children’s father, and the subsequent adoption by their step-father. The day my husband got to adopt my kids was an extremely happy day fo...r us, we are extremely grateful. As soon as I met Jill and Laura, I knew that we were going to be in good hands. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone with a family law case in the CDA area or beyond! Unboutably, I will be seeking out Bolton Law for any future matters.

Fantastic Attorney

Over the past 12 years, I have modified my childrens’ custody on multiple occasions. In 2018, I switched to attorney Jill Bolton as I honestly needed a more thorough and aggressive engagement in my case than other family law lawyers in Coeur d’Alene could provide. The change both in the law office an...d the courtroom was noticeable. The MyCase client platform kept me informed of my case progressions in real time. It was amazing to see how quick and knowledgeable Bolton argued my case in front of the judge. It is obvious that she has the respect from opposing attorneys and the judges alike. With an attorney step brother and a CDA native myself, I have some understanding of which lawyers to recommend. For anyone looking for a family law lawyer, I cannot recommend Bolton Law enough. I have done so for 3 close friends and plan to continue doing so in the future.

Jill bolton is great

“The help provided by Bolton Law was invaluable as I navigated the difficult process of child custody modification. In this family law case, I was overwhelmed with the complications that plague child custody, from stressful meetings to large amounts of confusing paperwork. Having Jill, Laura, and Chi...na on my side eased these worries, and made the process very manageable. They even helped me secure primary custody, an invaluable outcome. I would recommend Bolton Law to any individual entering a Family Law case, they were a pleasure to work with.”

Absolutely the best!

Going through a divorce was not a simple task for me. I had a marriage of many years with an abusive husband, Jill was amazing and very professional both in court and out. I was always confident that Jill and her team had my back 100% of the time, she never gave up until all my needs were met. She... managed through her tenacity to get all my necessities met and more. I would highly recommend Bolton Law for all your Family law needs. Thank you Jill and team!
