Excellent Lawyer

I hired Jerry to chase down a client who owed my business money for years. He is a true professional and knowledgeable without an attitude. Jerry helped me to recuperate majority of the debt...Impressive works!. Highly recommended!

Great for Collections !

Jerry is a great asset to our business. He has helped us collect on past collections that we have given up on. Trust worthy and extremely knowledgeable.

Jerry is a true professional!

Jerry is a true professional who dissected and clarified several ambiguous contracts for me. He took the time to make sure I understood everything, and patiently answered my numerous questions. I have been extremely fortunate to have Jerry on my side. You will not find a more trustworthy authority ...to serve your legal needs than Jerry Jen.

The turnaround for drafting a Freelance Writers Agreement to protect our small business was quick & professionally detailed.

Our small business is limited on funds, but we need to do our due diligence when it comes to protecting ourselves from company crippling lawsuits. Through word of mouth, we heard Jerry Ja-How Jen was well verse in all matter regarding small business in California. We had Mr. Jen draft a Freelance Wri...ters Agreement. I'm not a person who's easily impressed, nor am I someone who enjoys writing reviews for a service, but I can't see someone of this caliber muddled in a sea of other lawyers. As a small business, we can't afford to wait for things to get done. Mr. Jen turnaround time on the agreement was amazingly quick and the body of work was professionally detailed. I want to see someone with this work ethic and this professionalism succeed in building a small business law firm. Jerry Jen has our company complete trust in future small business dealings.

  • 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.
