Posted by Mary Guenther | July 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Federal Case for the rights of a terminally ill person wrongfully arrested due to mental and physical illness.

I wrote up a description of what had happended and Jewels immeditaly responded. I was in her office with in a day telling the facts of what had happened to my close relative who is dying. We are at the beginning of a court case which begins in a month. But I am very pleased with her enthusiasm and... knowledge of Federal Courts and victim rights. I can tell you she is 100% a go getter and not afraid to take the leap for a big challenge! I'm glad I have her for a attorney!

Thank you Jewels !

Over this past year my life has changed in a drastic way and not in the ways i ever imagined or wanted for myself. I was recommended to Jewels Jin . And I am so glad to have her as support, she is a very intelligent and experienced attorney. You can trust her with your life, she is compassionate and... truly cares about your case. Jewels is Respectful and will make the best results possible in your best interest. Jewels has been working on my two criminal matters . She even works on federal level. For that she has helped me in many ways. Jewels Jin is definitely the person to go to, to be in good hands.

Jewels is aptly named

Ms. Jin was a great asset and advocate for a difficult and emotionally charged family law case. First, her initial consultation was provided at no charge. She laid out the various avenues and potential obstacles of each. She was very straight forward about her fees, and the range of hours involved..., based on several different factors. She was aggressive as I asked her to be, but calmed me down several times throughout three months of hearings. She was very savvy with all the other parties to the case, including the judge, family court services, and my ex-spouse. She has been very sensitive to privacy, my children, and current spouse. Altogether, she made a very slow and patience-testing process through the courts, bearable. Moreover, she helped shoulder the burden of stress that accompany most family law matters that cannot be settled outside of court.

Excellent, Intelligent, & Diligent

Jewels provided service that was worth thousands more then what I was able to afford as a graduate student starting off my career. From the very beginning and throughout my case Jewels was responsive and helpful. I was able to meet with her, present information face to face and on the phone, and rec...eive direction on the what I needed to do. I have found Jewels to be approachable, knowledgeable, and dedicated. She is truly a professional who demonstrates excellence in and outside of the courtroom. Jewels has followed up with me on my case to help me be mindful of required time frames and understand the procedures and protocol. Even a colleague who was present was amazed by the quality of services that Jewels was providing me. This colleague was far more impressed with Jewels in a few hours then she was by her own lawyers in a few months. My colleague was so impressed that she asked for Jewels contact information for herself. I finally made the decision to stand up for myself and not allow a former friend to continue to take advantage of me. My case involved fighting for a housing deposit that was 12 months overdue. A former friend was taking advantage of her professional status, knowledge of the legal system, and financial resources to attempt to not return money to me. I navigated the small claims system and filed a small claims. I won part of the case and the judge granted a judgment to be paid to me. However, my former friend attempted to threaten to file a false lawsuit against me if I didn't drop the case. Then she filed an appeal to the judgment made. I was at a disadvantage financially and also because she was in the legal field so she had connections and a thorough knowledge of how the legal system works. This is when I sought out a lawyer to assist me with the small claims appeal process. I found Jewels who was supportive and cared about how I was clearly being taking advantage of after lending a hand to my former friend when she was in danger and needed a friend. Out of the four lawyers I received referrals for, I was most comfortable with Jewels because of her ability to explain the process, availability, and how approachable she is. It was so exhausting to try to represent myself because of the demands in my life in regards to education and career. And I understood that it was not wise to walk into an arena that I had not thoroughly studied and had experience in without professional support and direction. I definitely would recommend Jewels because she was patient, professional, and demonstrated a strong grasp of navigating the legal system. I was impressed by the direction she provided on the key points I need to make sure I voice to support my case and her ability to be direct, respectful, and appropriately persistent. When you have to go to court there are so many decisions to be made and it is helpful to have an intelligent and well connected lawyer like Jewels. or example, which forms to file, the language used, and what part of your case to focus on. I ask a lot of questions and I was very grateful that she was open to my questions. Jewels explained the pros and cons of the decisions I could make like when my former friend tried to settle for less than half of what she owed me. AND I AM VERY HAPPY THAT WE WON MY CASE!!!! This experience that was such a drag and took so much time initially ended up being well worth the battle to stand up for myself with Jewels representing me. Even when I was completely done, Jewels remained on top of things and followed up with me for documents that needed to be filed. All in all it was a great experience working with Jewels!
