Someone who stands by you!

Only 4000 characters? I don't know if I can fit this all in! I hired Jennie not just because she stood by my side but by the time I found her, I knew she was the one for my case. She is honest! She doesnt feed you lies and will tell you whether she can truly help you, and I cannot tell you how much I... appreciated that. So many attorney's these days are looking for a quick buck. Jennie really cares about her work and her clients. The consultation fee, do not let this scare you. It is worth every penny. There isn't a 30 min stop watch going. She addresses whatever concerns you have and gives you all the possible outcomes of your case and what she feels would be best for you. She will also keep your goals in mind. By the time I had found Jennie, I had battled my husband's case for almost 3 months, I went through 1 failed attorney that cost me $8k with little to no work to show for it, and I felt lost and felt helpless. I was not willing to waste my money on another attorney who just wanted to make a quick dollar. I wanted someone who would take the time to invest in my case, understand the complexities (oh and trust me, there were many) and then really fight for my husband because I needed him home. My case was a criminal case to which I was the victim. This was not an easy one. I gave her a challenge, and after a lot of back and forth and uncertainties, she gave me the best solution she felt would work with all parties involved. I am so glad I listened because I believe it would have likely turned out different had I hired her as my husband's attorney. I hired her for myself, (against my husband, though I was also in support of him). They worked with defense counsel and the prosecutor. I love how dedicated and devoted Jennie is to her work and she is very quick to reply and get back to you. I never felt unheard or as if my thoughts or feelings didn't matter. This is HUGE for me. Feeling alone and unheard has been daunting to say the least. I wish I had found you from the beginning. I don't doubt that Jennie and her firm could handle any case given to her. Why? Because if she can't, she will tell you no or give you other options or ideas. She isn't in it for the money and I love that about her. PS if you have overly sensitive feelings and can't accept the truth, probably don't "apply". Haha. Just kidding. Thanks Jennie. I really do appreciate you more than you will ever know!

Excellent Taskmaster

Jennie is magnificent at what she does. I couldn’t be more happier she was appointed to be my public defender. She does over the top for you for FREE. She cares about your case and well-being & she is very straight forward and ready to tackle whatever is in-front of this woman I would pay this wo...man a thousand dollars or more to represent me throughout another case. 5/5 stars with no questions.

Child Custody

Top Notch, Hands Down - The Best...Of the BEST!! Jennie Wingad has been absolutely the best attorney I could have found for my difficult child custody Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of family law She brings a unique skill set to add to her already extensive expertise. Her know...ledge and experience have been invaluable to me and my situation. I've worked with a few asshats of attorneys before i found Jennie .I have received nothing but the best attention, timely advice and superb service in handling my case. I would recommend her to anyone that is needed her help in Family Law or Criminal. You wont be disappointed

All charges dismissed

Jennie absolutely impressed me, to the point I started crying! She wanted to take my case to trial. We didn't even need to come to that. She spoke with the prosecutor at the arraignment hearing and all charges were dismissed, even a resisting arrest! This lady knows her stuff!! She also is very fair ...with her costs. She is my forever go to attorney and will always be recommended by me!
