Jaclyn Taylor Nelson

From the initial phone consult with Jaclyn, she remained genuine. She patiently answered all my questions on the list and clarified what I didn't understand. I didn't look any further after that call and it was the best decision. Jaclyn remained calm and composed in all aspects of my case. She r...emained attentive and never lost sight of what was important, me and my children. I remember in one court appearance, Jaclyn brought Tony, a colleague from the office to keep me company. This sincere quality is unmatched. She is straightforward, skillful in strategizing and extremely well versed in the way dependency cases function. Her innate ability to keep me at ease and guide me throughout the year long process so that I can focus on being a mom everyday has set a standard of what I should expect from any attorney. I am beyond thankful.

Jaclyn has a strong grasp of the law, strategy, optics and the emotional impact of each case. Jaclyn listens carefully to her clients and understands how to present the narrative in court and to opposing counsel. She is a tenacious fighter who will advocate deftly for her clients. She also has in dep...th knowledge of the workings of Dependency court and DCFS and how to fight for her clients effectively within that framework. We were very impressed with her creativity and analytical thinking while representing us. We feel fortunate to have found her in time to help us and recommend her highly to anyone seeking representation against DCFS.

I haven't worked with lawyers often and when I have I’ve been lucky more times than not in finding the right representation. Jaclyn was one of those lucky times. I was referred to Jaclyn and her partner Angela by another attorney because they specialized in cases such as mine. I worked primarily with... Jaclyn and found her to be not only extraordinarily skillful and knowledgeable, but also sensitive and caring. She made herself available whenever I need her. She listened as I explained the case, understood me and paid attention to details, some that later turned out to be quite pertinent even when I had almost forgotten them myself. Other times as I was about to bring something up, she was a step ahead of me and addressed the issue before I could raise it. Out of court or in front of the judge, I felt I was in good hands knowing I was represented by one of the best in town. A sense of trust developed that made the whole ordeal of the case seem much less overwhelming and stressful. Throughout the case she made me and my son feel confident and after its conclusion relieved. I cannot recommend Jaclyn enough to match my gratitude. But I will continue to try whenever asked or if I hear of anyone needing a referral. Thank you Jaclyn!
