Life Saver!

Jennifer helped me navigate an intense child custody issue. She knew my concerns and advocated for me in the best way possible. She gave me straight forward advice so that I knew what I was getting into and what my options were. She helped me stay my ground and get a fair agreement outside of going t...o court. This was best for my child and I am so relieved I chose her to help me.

Wholeheartedly Recommend

She is remarkably available and responsive. She has a gift for seeing the 'big picture'. I felt like she understood the human aspect of my difficult protective order case-- that she genuinely cared about me and the kids. And she wasn't just out to get my husband, but was uncompromising on keeping ...everyone safe and reaching a good agreement. She thought of so many little things I would have missed. As someone who's dealt with a lot of attorneys before, whether in my own prior cases, or through friends and family... She's one of the best I've seen. I would recommend her to anybody.

Knowledgable and Efficient

Jennifer had everything necessary prepared beforehand and had highlighted the key points of what needed to be assessed or were of concern. She easily made the jargon of the law understandable and all is complete! Thank you Jennifer!

Great, knowledgable advice!

I hired Jennifer Falk to help me through a difficult divorce and custody issues with my ex-spouse. She was wonderful! She has a lot of experience and knowledge of family law and made the process easier by providing a list of what to do and expect throughout the process. She and her office responded t...o emails and phone calls quickly and were very clear about explaining my options and advising me on what would work best for my situation. I felt comfortable taking her advice even when I didn't know which was the right answer for me. Jennifer went above and beyond to help me after my case was resolved and I really appreciate her attention. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce, especially if you have children.

Best in the State!

Jennifer was outstanding and was able to award me with everything I needed to be a single mother with two boys. She is friendly, compassionate about her clients, and puts in the energy and time to get what is best. Never settles for less.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
