Pre Divorce Advisor

I first met with Jennie when my wife first made Divorce threats. She provided invaluable information and expectations of what our divorce would look like. Over the next three years she made herself available for questions and helped explain the process. When my wife finally filed, I was prepared and ...the processed went as expected. I am not happy to be divorced but am glad Jennie was there to help me through it all.

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!

Hire Jennie!

I highly recommend Jennie Wingad if you are looking for a divorce lawyer. I had a high conflict divorce case that required delicate care and Jennie more than delivered. Emotions were high and so much was at stake from assets to custody, Jennie not only provided thorough and excellent counsel, but she... was also very compassionate and took my opinions and values into consideration, she showed me the utmost respect all throughout the process. I picked Jennie because of the intelligence, empathy, candor, and sense of urgency she displayed in our initial phone call; all these qualities were again validated during the entire divorce process. If you don't want to mess around, get things done fast and right, give Jennie a call.
