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.

Excellent legal counsel

I highly recommend Jill Bolton to anyone who requires legal counsel. She has proven to be extremely professional, yet always approachable. I have never had to wait long for a return call and actually had her call me after hours when necessary. There was never a time that I didn't have 100% confid...ence in her legal knowledge. It was very reassuring to know that I could count on her to guide me through the maze of legal channels.

Outstanding family and criminal representation in Idaho

I hired Ms. Bolton as my divorce attorney and could not have been more pleased with her expertise, competence and advocacy. She effectively strategized and negotiated a child custody arrangement that I once thought impossible.
