10 stars

Jennifer and her very talented right hand, Belki (her superstar paralegal), have been fierce advocates for me and my daughter, Scarlett, throughout the most challenging and gut-wrenching custody case involving domestic violence. I cannot express enough praise to Jennifer for her expertise, integrity..., passion, patience and continued fight for my daughter’s best interest. I am so grateful and blessed to have Skolnick Family Law on my side as I continue to navigate family law matter.

representation

Jennifer was terrific at representing me in Los Angeles County. My divorce case originated in Hawaii, with my ex-wife fighting over visitation with my 2 daughters and demanding large alimony and refusing to settle. It took 5 years, but it is finally over and I am free of alimony in CA. Jennifer wr...ote successfully and researched past case law to make a successful argument and get my ex-wife to settle. I thought my divorce would never be over, and finally it was. I would certainly recommend Skolnick Family Law.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I initially met Jennifer in an attorney networking group. Thereafter, we become close colleagues. I also practice family law. At one point I had to file a request for a restraining order against a litigant in a former matter. That goes with the territory. However, I could not represent myself. Jennifer represented me and did a superb job. She got me a permanent 5 year restraing order. My witnesses all liked her and commented on her calm demeanor. Jennifer is a lawyers lawyer. I highly recommend her for complicated and contentious family law matters."
