Dependable and Professional

Jennifer was so patient and thorough when dealing with the conservatorship of my daughter. I didn't have a clue as to how to begin or even how the legal process worked regarding the matter. But once Jennifer was hired she confidently handled the whole legal process and I felt like I didn't need to wo...rry one bit. She handled the case with ease and with no issues. She has always responded when I've tried to contact her and she has always been friendly and professional. I am very confident in her skills as an attorney and highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
