Fierce Advocate

Jennifer is an ethical and fierce advocate. Our case was very lopsided with the odds stacked against us. Jennifer came in and evened out the playing field. With her by our side, we were able to accomplish our case goals and more. Jennifer deserves our gratitude at the highest level. She cares about h...er clients and their futures. We are so very grateful for all she has done to protect our rights.

You're in Good Hands

I very seldom do reviews, however I believe it would be a disservice to not share with others the service Ms Coenenberg provides once she is retained, she is empathetic, yet about the business at hand she will be with you every step of the way, and get the job done in a kind yet professional manner,... she takes away any fears you may have during the process. I cannot say enough of how good she is , highly recommended

I am a real client and this is a real review **Highly Recommend**

I almost never do reviews for anything. this has been a completely different experience from my first counsel and for the better. Coenenberg Familt law gets it. It's very had to deal with divorce and loss for time with children and the last thing you want is to worry about is if you have counsel who ...actually cares. you won't have to worry about that here. I found the entire staff to be understanding, empathetic, professional and prompt with phone calls and emails. Like I said, I never to reviews but this is important and I hope that it helps people in finding the right Lawyer. I couldn't have asked for better in a very very stressful time. Thank you again to the entire staff

Terrible. No communication.

We have had the most difficult time trying to get responses from Jennifer. We were once put on hold and then told she was at lunch then never recieved a call back. She did not explain the process at all which left us always feeling confused. We had to drop off the SAME paperwork 3 times before they f...inally updated it. Literally the worst experience of our life. Thousands of dollars wasted. I wanted 50 50 custody of my kids and was basically discouraged and told that could never happen. I was asked to simply agree to what my ex wife wanted and the issues I had were rarely even BROUGHT up in court. Do not hire this firm unless you like throwing money away and ending up more frustrated by them than your actual case.

I believe I know who this is and I wanted to clarify and provide other insight as to this review. If there is one thing I will say about myself as well as my office it is that we are extremely responsive. I may not always be able to get back to people the same day but I always get back to them. I don't recall ever simply not returning a client's phone call. I also am overly communicative about procedures to ensure my clients know what is going on each step of the way. I would never tell anyone to simply give in to what their ex wanted, especially without any justification. I will always discuss the options and the likelihood of success given the facts presented to me. If you took that as me telling you there was no way for you to succeed in your request, I apologize only for that miscommunication, but it is my job as counsel to truly counsel my clients from a legal perspective on the likely outcome of their matters. I believe you came out very far ahead in some aspects of your case, and am sorry if you disagree with that. As far as concluding your dissolution, an agreement was reached outside of my office after numerous unsuccessful attempts to reach you and when we attempted to discuss the agreement you stated that you simply wanted the matter to be done and signed. I ask for you to please reconsider your thoughts on the matter. I understand there are certain aspects of your matter you were not pleased with, but I am happy to discuss any other concerns you have in person or via telephone so as to clear up any further issues.

Expert in her field

Legal matters in the area of divorce can be complicated, emotional, and overwhelming but Jennifer made me feel at ease at every step. She communicated and consulted with me making sure I understood what at times can be very confusing in family law. She is professional, considerate, and knowledgeable ...in family law, among the top in her field.

Family lawyer | Nov 08

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Coenenberg is a very hardworking, skilled attorney. She is well respected in the community for her knowledge of the law, and is able to represent those who choose her well. My interactions with her have proved that she treats clients with great respect, acknowledging and placing to rest any concerns they may have. Further, she has shown that very little will stand between her and what her clients desire in the family law process. Though the area of law in which she works can be filled with hate, animonsity, and tension, she is able to break through that and achieve great results for her client, while making them comfortable in the process. This is of the utmost importance for anyone going through the divorce/legal separation/child custody process."
