Jenny Will Win for You

Jenny is an excellent litigator and legal advocate- the best of the best. If you are an honest client with a drive for your child, she will be an exceptional navigator through the az family court system. You can trust her. You might not like what she has to say all the time (or the price, but can you... put a price on the safety and happiness of your child? you’re paying for true expertise) , but she will help you win. She won’t waste your time, she knows her stuff and doesn’t play games. She won’t drag your time out, she doesn’t have to because she true talent. It’s scary when you have to choose a lawyer, but I assure you Jenny will be one decision you don’t regret. I am thankful for an expert like Jenny- you can’t put a price on the safety and happiness of your children. She is the most educated family law professional and if I could, I would choose her again.

Jenny always has your back, no matter what!!!

I am posting this review after working with Jenny for over 4 years. She was highly recommended by a friend and I am so BLESSED that I was able to hire her for my divorce case. Jenny is extremely smart, on point, always organized, explains everything to T.. and never lets you panic. She is very honest... and if she thinks that there is something that she can't do or it's the wrong choice she will never let you make a mistake and shoot yourself in the foot! I love Jenny, and there isn't anyone I would ever replace her with...and trust me I have worked with other lawyers in a different area of practice....I would of hired Jenny but too bad she only practices family law.

Absolutely Amazing!

Jennifer Gadow in one simple word is "Awesome"! From the first over the phone interview with Jenny, I was comfortable. I retained her over the phone in PA, as my case was very complicated. The case took well over a year and was extremely hard on all involved. She had to always remind me of the big pi...cture as this was a very emotional case for me. Simply put, Jenny has been the most amazing attorney I have ever had the privilege of working with. At the end of the day, we ended up wining the case. I would highly recommend Jennifer Gadow to anyone seeking a competent attorney. Thank you Jenny!!

Jenny Gadow, My attorney !!

Sadly, after 26 years of marriage, I was unable to continue with the status quo. My quality of life had degraded to an intolerable low and a multitude of relationships that I cherished were suffering as a result. Mainly my children. As a faith based person, I faced a multitude of inner conflicts w...hen contemplating ending my marriage. A unique and undeniable dynamic precluded us from finding a resolution and "dissolution" was, unfortunately, the only option to restore my quality of life. I was represented by Jenny Gadow from the Phoenix based firm, Fromm, Smith and Gadow, PC No matter how you approach divorce, you must take a leap of faith and place a large portion of your life in the hands of your council, essentially a complete stranger. The impact of the decisions made in your behalf, by your attorney, will impact you for the rest of your life. From day one Jenny was understanding of my needs and without doubt made decisions that were in my best interest. She was concise in her opinions and clearly explained her reasoning when ever I had questions. She listened with an open mind and rapidly filed the information for use at a later time, if necessary. From me, she expected and asked for the truth and honesty as they were the foundation for our case. She processed everything with amazing efficiency and was sympathetic to the costs I was incurring throughout. Opposing council saw a combined net worth and threw caution (and time) to the wind. I genuinely feel opposing council saw that either me or she or we were going to pay with little regard for who or how it would impact anyone. No doubt, Jenny represented me. She was genuinely concerned about the financial burdens I faced throughout and she strived for efficiency. Worth every cent and more as far as I'm concerned. What should have been simple, evolved into a two year struggle ending in trial. Along the way, at an early hearing, Jenny went head to head over a small matter, I walked away knowing my leap of faith was validated. At trial, Jenny out prepared, out organized and often confounded opposing council. She often knew opposing councils exhibits in greater detail and was far more efficient. Her outside professionals were fantastic and they created an efficient team. Donna, Jenny's assistant is top flight in every respect. After trial, before the decision, I found comfort in knowing that Jenny, laid before the judge, much of my life in an honest and truthful way. She did so in a respectful manner. She didn't belittle or demean my ex wife to show me a better person. She didn't ask for the stars to get the moon. She clearly presented my position and supported and documented every detail from which a just decision could be made. As far as the ruling; The much better quality of life in front of me is directly attributable to Jenny. I am forever grateful to her for donning the armor and doing battle on my behalf.

No Thanks

I am an attorney by training and cannot believe how this person conducted herself in the consultation. She was totally unprepared and unfamiliar with the case law relevant to the subject, and basically tried to hang up on me. She also made disparaging comments when I was just trying to understand the... law and my rights. I would never recommend Jennifer Gadow to anyone or call her again.
