Jennifer M. deGraauw

Judges, mediators, attorneys, and clients take note. The divorce world needs more attorneys like Jennifer Degraauw. Jennifer and her paralegal Raesha effectively guided me through a minefield of legal cheap shots and dirty tactics. They regularly helped me see the big picture, focus on kids, coparen...ting, and resolving our messy divorce as quickly and amicably as possible. By following her guidance, I was able to attain a fair outcome without having to attack the other party or further traumatize the children. Jennifer takes an objective view of the situation and sees things the way a judge would see them. She asked me to voluntarily take actions which at the time seemed unfair and unnecessary, but in retrospect they helped me avoid costly hearings and headache. She is also well suited for high-asset cases due to her strong comprehension of business ownership, tax implications, investments and property. Lastly, Jennifer could have easily dragged my case out to make more money, but clearly she has plenty of business and money is not her motivator. She is passionate about family law for all the right reasons. If you're lucky enough to retain her for your case, follow her advice. You'll thank her later.

Jennifer helped me through a cooperative divorce which was much less than cooperative. She worked with me over the course of about 8 months to create a comprehensive Marital Settlement Agreement. It was a very complicated document because of the real estate and businesses that were involved. She h...as since advised me on her recommended course of action on various issues, and also provided solid recommendations when she was unable to counsel because of conflicts. She is extremely bright, well versed in whats she does, fair, and very hard working. I would not hesitate to use her services again or to recommend her to my closest friends, which I have done on occasion.
