Highest Recommendation

I retained this firm, in particular Jenny Gadow, on the recommendation of a family court judge. My desire was to have a knowledgeable, fair attorney to represent my family's best interest in an area where I had no former knowledge how to navigate. From the very first visit throughout a 3 year process... Jenny walked along side us with the help of her professional staffers. I sincerely cannot express my appreciation for her experience, insight, and ability. I invested in this firm over 10 years ago and the payoff has been the security we continue to be blessed with to this day.

Outstanding Attorney

I hired Jenny to represent me during a very contentious divorce wherein my ex-wife attempted to prevent me from having parental rights to my children and had threatened on multiple occasions to leave the country with them. I found Jenny to be a very professional lawyer who was thoroughly prepared th...roughout all phases of the divorce process. She conducted a very thorough disclosure process, allowing us to prepare a fair and comprehensive settlement offer to the opposing side. Although the opposing side was consistently unable to respond in a timely or realistic manner, Jenny was able to stick to her guns and represent my interests. When we conducted our pre-trial mediation I was amazed at how thoroughly prepared we were compared to the opposing party. Ultimately, we were able to reach a settlement agreement that was very close to my initial offer (showing how knowleable she is) that guaranteed shared parenting rights, 50/50 parenting time, and a fair offer of support. All in all we achieved all of my goals. Jenny is smart, thorough, has excellent knowledge of her field, and is ethical and professional. I highly recommend.

Review for Jenny Gadow ESQ

jenny is wonderful. Professional, efficient, ethical, reliable and superb in Court. I find divorce as the most excruciating experience in ones life. Working with a lawyer that can be competent, professional and supportive at the same time are who Jenny Gadow is.

Posted by anonymous | September 11, 2008 | Divorce & Separation

Thorough, effective and extremely knowledgeable!

You can go wrong with this attorney! Her experience and understanding of the process allows you to remain cool, confident and well-informed. She is assertive and thorough, working ONLY when necessary in order to save you time and money - avoiding all unecessary paperwork, litigation and worry. If n...ecessary, Jenny can be aggressive and tenacious with her opponent, but typically she is warm, professional and very kind. I would trust her completely and I recommend her to anyone who mentions a divorce - even when they already have an attorney. I have persuaded folks to work with her who have had an attorney that was 1/2 the price of Jenny Gadow, and they we so appreciative - they ended up saving money and heartache when switching to Jenny.
