Social Security law is where I began when I put myself through college working as a legal secretary for a Social Security attorney. My litigation background combined with growing up with a disabled mother have enabled me to help my clients win their cases while understanding the struggles they are going through.

I participated in the criminal defense clinic in law school and was only one of two students who took a case to trial, all the way through to verdict.

Wonderful Lawyer!

Jennifer helped us in our disability case for our disabled adult Son. She was informative, intelligent, attentive and honest. Before we met Jennifer the social security system had become extremely frustrating and discouraging. On our own we had already applied and appealed and had been turned down t...wice as a result of lack of medical records that were not being sent by the Hospital and Doctors offices. It had become so discouraging but I knew for my Sons sake that I had to try one more time. I could not have imagined appealing again and going into the hearing without a great attorney. I hired Jennifer the same day that I met her. From the time she met our Son she asked insightful questions to help her understand his disability so that she would be able to give him the best representation. It was very clear to me that she is in this business for all the right reasons. She did an amazing job in our hearing. She presented the information clearly and she always treated our Son with respect. I will be forever thankful to this Lawyer for difference that she made in our Sons life.

SSDI case

After failing to be approved for disability submitting my own case twice, I retained Ms. Solomon who organized my massive amount of information,culling the most relevant facts and photographs. She helped me understand exactly what we needed to prove and verify to win approval. She always responded pr...omptly to my calls or emails, and was kind and supportive. I was a bit unnerved when we arrived in court and the photographs of my very red swollen auto immune rashes had been printed in black and white, and the final report had a few inaccuracies which I had not had a chance to review and correct. The bottom line is that we won the case anyway, and I don't think that would have been possible on my own. Overall it was as good as this type of experience could be.

Professional and Diligent Attorney, excellent work ethics!

I'm so glad that I happened to have Jennifer Solomon execute my SSI appeals case. She is very consistent, strategic, motivated, dedicated, and goes the extra mile for the final results. I can't express myself enough in words of thanks, gratefulness and complete satisfaction how Attorney Jennifer Solo...mon expertise and consistent work gave me a positive outcome of my appeals case. I would HIGHLY recommend to my friends, family and anyone who needs representation.

The most knowledgeable, competent, intelligent and compassionate attorney!

I met with Jennifer after my previous attorney for my social security disability case forgot to send in the paperwork to file for a hearing on my behalf (that was over 5 years ago). And I am so glad I found Jennifer!!!!!! She is the most compassionate, understanding, patient, intelligent and resp...onsive attorney I have ever had and I have had a few since I was injured on the job in 2008. She really cares about what she does and you can tell. Unfortunately we did not win the case, but she was up until midnight reviewing my over 1000 documents the night before to make sure she was completely prepared. I really appreciate her willingness to take my case on even though I am younger than 50. The judge ended up not being favorable for whatever reason (probably my age). I wish there was something I could do for Jennifer because she took me on as a contingent client (only making money if I win). Hopefully others will read my review and know she will represent them well and more thoroughly than most lawyers out there. You couldn't find a better attorney. Jennifer is amazing.

An honest and professional personal injury attorney

I hired Jennifer to represent me in a personal injury lawsuit related to an automobile accident. Jennifer is honest, personable, professional, and thorough, and I very much enjoyed working with her. She also has a lot of experience from her previous position as a staff attorney for a large auto insur...ance company. This has given her an insider's view on an insurance company's motives, which proved to be an asset when it came time to negotiate a settlement with them. I would highly recommend her services.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Jennifer for a long time, as we are both Social Security Disability attorneys. She is an extremely dedicated and smart attorney. She understands the intricate details of the rules regarding Social Security Disability and SSI. She works tirelessly to ensure that her clients receive the benefits that they deserve. She is extremely effective and successful at presenting cases and her win rate reflects that. I am also familiar with her work in criminal defense. I would highly recommend her for that as well. She works hard to protect her clients' rights and she achieves results that many other attorneys are simply unable to achieve."

"Jen and I started practicing law around the same time, and worked together for several years. When it comes to trial work, she has been a "natural" from the beginning, and over the years she has really honed her skills even further. I recommend her for all types of civil litigation, especially if there is a chance the case will need to go trial."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer was opposing counsel in a serious dog bite case. She was knowledgeable and aggressive without being condescending or obnoxious. She vigorously defended her client while treating me in a professional and respectful way. Since opening her own practice I have referred both personal injury and Social Security cases to her. I know that she genuinely cares about the outcome of each client's case."
