This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Beware. If I could give a negative 5 stars review I would.

The worst decision of my life was not marrying a diagnosed sociopath, pathological liar, felon and thief, it was hiring Jill Coil to defend me from him. She utterly destroyed my case and my financial life. I will never be able to recover from the damage she and her assistant have done to my case.... I chose to ignore the 2 anonymous 1 star reviews on here and opted to listen to the 5 star reviews. Do NOT make the same mistake I did. Whatever her rebuttal is here, please do yourself a favor and call me. I will take the time meet you and actually SHOW you my case, her copious ‘slow to respond’ (4.5 months was the longest) emails, missed ordered court deadlines, failure to turn in required documentation, and where my case is now because of hiring her. Hiring Jill Coil has been utterly devastating to my life. Take the time to see how and save your own family the heartache that mine is suffering now. Call me before putting your divorce and your life into her hands. (307)690-9038. KLynn

Simply the best!

I came to Jill over two years ago in despair, fear, and sadness during the most vulnerable part of my life. The moment I talked to Jill she made me feel heard, cared for, and protected. Let me tell you that I talked to four more attorneys and no one made me feel as cared for and heard despite my fin...ancial situation. The moment Jill said I needed a protective order to keep me and my children safe, I knew from that moment, and with no doubt in my heart, that I was taken care of. Jill is a strong, brilliant, and admirable attorney and when I say she will fight for you, hear me out BECAUSE. SHE. WILL. Jill and her team NEVER gave up on me or my children despite my financial situation. She is simply amazing! If someone is in need of an attorney, let me tell you, this is where you belong, I promise!

The Best of the Best

When I first met with Jill, my marriage had taken a scary turn. I had no idea what to do. All I knew was that I needed a lawyer, and I needed a good one. After getting two separate recommendations for Jill, I went to her with my case and never looked back. From the beginning, Jill understood my situa...tion, validated my concerns, answered my never-ending questions, and genuinely wanted to help me. At a time when I couldn’t see the way forward, she gave me the confidence to know that I could go through a divorce and land on my feet.   Now I'm on the other side and I couldn't have asked for a better result. Having an attorney that knew her stuff and fought in my corner made all the difference. I can’t imagine going through a divorce with any other lawyer at my side. If you need the best, then you need Jill.

Client

Jill was amazing!! I hired her because I heard from other friends who had used her that she was a bulldog, knows her stuff, and really has your back! All of this is 100% true! Jill and her awesome team were super communicative and I always felt confident with her fighting my battle. I came away with ...a better outcome than expected, Jill went above and beyond and fought for what was right and fair for me and my kids. You will not regret hiring Jill, I would hate to be going against her, get her on your side, you will not regret it. Always super professional and always feels like she had my back!

I love the work that Jill Coil and her firm have done for me

Jill has worked with me both on my divorce and in another matter in the courtroom. She has always been a wonderful advocate for me in expressing my wishes and fighting on my behalf. I have been so thankful for her knowledge and her great talents as a lawyer, as well as her kindness to me. I would ...hire her again in a second!
