A lawyer who listens

I was very pleased with Jennifer’s professionalism and willingness to listen to what I had to say. I hired Jennifer to help me as my ex was unwilling to disclose what was happening to funds set aside specifically for my children. Unlike the lawyer I hired for my divorce, or other subsequent lawyers... who disbelieved what I had to say about what was happening, or the irrational actions of my ex, Jennifer listened and was able to work with me to resolve the situation. I felt confident in her advise and she was always willing to explain things in a manner I was able to understand. More importantly, she listened when I disagreed and didn’t try to pressure my decisions (giving me time to work through my emotional reluctance, at times, so that I could make rational decisions regarding the case and which moved the case forward). I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone in need of a lawyer with regards to family law.

THE BEST!

Jennifer was a great attorney for me through my divorce. Jennifer was on top of everything and her communication was outstanding. She is very knowledgeable of family law and she will work hard for you without wasting your time and money. Jennifer is a very kind and compassionate person she will work ...hard for you. I highly recommend Jennifer.

Excellent experience

Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal with my case. I was/am dealing with a very narcissistic ex husband and Jennifer was calm, cool and collected while dealing with him and my custody case. She was very to the point with him and extremely helpful to me. She understood that I am a single mother with a s...ingle income, she was conscious of the fact that I didn’t have an endless amount of money. Jennifer would tell me all of the options that there were and we would discuss which route was best and she cared about my input. She cared about me and my daughter! I would call or email Jennifer with questions or concerns and I thought I was bothering her so I apologized (all the time!) and she reassured me that I am not a bother. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone dealing with divorce/custody issues. I will hire Jennifer in the future if I need further assistance. I just can’t say enough good things about Jennifer!

Won my Case. Saved my Career.

Ms. Sackett assisted me in successfully resolving a complex, sensitive divorce and custody case. The sensitivity was especially exacerbated by the nature of my profession. Having worked with multiple other attorneys on the matter, I found Ms. Sackett’s professionalism, knowledge of the law and genuin...e care for me as her client to be truly unparalleled. Ms. Sackett’s experience, intelligence and the ability to effectively communicate complex information in extremely stressful circumstances is remarkable. Ms. Sackett’s superior research and analytical skills, coupled with her ability to formulate and implement a clear and effective strategy proved instrumental to the successful conclusion of my case. Ms. Sackett’s responsiveness and timeliness positively distinguishes her from other attorneys I employed on the matter. It is my absolute privilege to not only recommend Ms. Sackett as an attorney, but also, more importantly, as a person.

Child Custody

Jennifer is an amazing lawyer. She was very knowledgeable in child custody and if she wasn't 100% with an answer she would find it. She would work all hours of the day (even 8months pregnant), just to make sure things were in place. When Jennifer and met, I had 2 days before it was court time for an ...emergency custody change. Thanks to Jennifer's witt it was all dropped. As the case proceeded she was very straight up with me. Long story long, I'm a 36 year old male and now have full custody of my son!
