Compassion meets exceptional knowledge base!

Jennifer provided my representation during my recent divorce. From our initial meeting to the conclusion of my case she was attentive, compassionate and realistic. She consistently gave me detailed explanations and frequent progress updates. Divorce is an emotional and painful experience and Jennifer... made an extraordinarily trying time more manageable. Her background and experience was crystal clear in all interactions with the court. I would recommend her services to anyone close to me in need of her legal expertise.

Grateful to have Jennifer Ruben as my attorney

My overall opinion about Jennifer Ruben is this: she is a good and experienced attorney and an even better person. I truly believe that Jennifer cared about me as a person and about how the divorce process affected me, my spouse, and our children. She looked out for my best interest as well as for th...e best interest of my spouse and our children. Jennifer Ruben is NOT an echo chamber. This was extremely helpful to me. Jennifer gave me a range of what might happen based on the facts of my case. Nothing was sugar coated but everything was explained in a tactful manner without being overly jarring. All cases have some weakness to them. Jennifer clearly pointed out the weaknesses in my case and carefully explained how they may play out in mediation and/or trial. Jennifer Ruben’s trial preparation is solid and is based on specific planning depending on the facts. She is able to critically assess the best-case narrative in favor of me her client. She created an overriding theme for the judge to follow and she researched relevant case law to deflect the opposing attorney’s counterpoints. Above all, Jennifer is a good listener and observes the judge’s reaction during trial and most importantly, changes the course of her questioning in real time to reflect these observations. Often, you don’t want to retraumatize a spouse and need to ask questions in a sensitive and courteous way without being relentless, which I think my trial judge responded to favorably. Jennifer is able to do this questioning with precision and accuracy in real time to get at the facts of the case which support the narrative she is trying to tell. This is an innate quality of hers which greatly helped me in my divorce trial. Lastly, I am very appreciative and indebted for Jennifer’s representative during the divorce process including mediation and the divorce trial. Her engagement with me, with my spouse, with the opposing attorney, and with the trial judge was always ethical, considerate, thoughtful, and professional. She navigated me through one of the toughest and lowest points in my life with integrity and I will be forever grateful for her guidance. Thank you again Jennifer.

A wonderful customer experience for a life changing event

Jennifer and her Team, including Melissa, were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are warm, friendly, non-judgmental, professional, and courteous. They made amehat could have been a very acrimonious divorce fair and equitable for both parties. I will highly recommend Glazer Hammond to friends... and family.

Astounding

I alm still going through a divorce, and it has been a very complicated case. Jennifer and Melissa have been compassionate, informative, professional, responsive to my needs and questions, and very knowledgeable of the law. They are ethical and up front about how I can best participate too. I ...often feel like I am the only case they are working on, fully aware of numerous other clients they are serving. I always feel heard and recognized in my concerns. I have no doubt my case will end in justice and fairness due to their counsel and service.

A Rare Attorney

It is not common that I write reviews. That said, my experience with Jennifer Reuben and her team at Glazer Hammond was exceptional and one that I am grateful for. The compassion, guidance, wisdom, knowledge, hard work, and communication were impeccable. The quality of her services enabled me to m...ove through this difficult time with expediency and ease. I interviewed over 10 attorneys throughout the Flagstaff/Sedona area and Jennifer Reuben was the last I interviewed. It didn't take long to make the decision to choose her, her understanding of the process and her guidance through it gave me a Judge's signature in 4 months from the date I decided to work with her. While I can't promise you that your divorce will be this fast, I can promise that her integrity is remarkable. While going through a divorce is difficult most of the time, and if I ever need another one (I hope I never do!), my first choice would be to contact Jennifer Reuben.
