I regret hiring Tiffany

Working with Tiffany was terrible. I found her to be untrustworthy, unhelpful and unprofessional. Her kid would be yelling in the background of phone calls. She worked from London. I feel like she would tell me stuff to get me to do what she wanted me to do. Sometimes she’d tell me contradictory stat...ements like “your case is difficult and nuanced” one day, and “this is a pretty simple case and I’ve been doing this for a long time” another day. I didn’t have any trust in her but I felt stuck because finding a lawyer was difficult and I didn't want to be without one. I stayed with her because I was scared to be without a lawyer. I think I would have been better off alone than with Tiffany though. I feel like I let my son down by hiring her. It was a truly traumatic experience working with her. I regret hiring her every single day and will regret it for the rest of my life. I did end up eventually finding a different lawyer at a different firm towards the end of my case. Best decision of my life. I would never ever ever ever recommend Tiffany to anyone.

Amazing Representation

Tiffany and her team did an amazing job representing me and my needs in my case. She is very knowledgeable and always there to assist me with any questions I had. She did a wonderful job settling my nerves before mediation. I couldn’t have ask for a better attorney.

Amazing to work with - highly recommended

I hired Gevurtz Menashe on recommendation from a friend. Originally the attorney I was recommended to was unavailable which turned out to be a blessing in disguise as that put me on the path to work with Tiffany J. She was amazing. She was prompt in her replies (sometimes after hours or on weekend...s if she knew it was urgent). My case involved some time sensitive documents and she always gave accurate estimates on time and pricing. She was very transparent with her rates and was flexible working within my budget. If I had any legal issues in Portland area I would highly recommend Tiffany to anyone who asks. Very happy with the service and all the members of Tiffany's team that contacted me during my time working with her.

Child Custody Case

I chose Tiffany after interviewing several attorneys. My goal was to prevent my ex from moving my kids out of state. My previous attorney recommended a colleague that specializes in relocation, but unfortunately I didn't take his advise and chose Tiffany based on a family members opinion of her firm.... Tiffany estimated I should budget $5K for the process. I quickly realized she didn't seem to have a clear idea of the steps that should be taken. There were countless phone calls, meetings and requests for information, all of which I was billed for. She recommended hiring expensive consultants which I did not consider to be a good use of my money. Ultimately I paid her and extra $3K and got almost zero result. My ex moved anyway without my permission. I hired another attorney at that point to enforce the tentative agreement we had reached. He immediately pointed out numerous errors that had been made in my case. The biggest one was a filing that should have been made immediately that would have prohibited my ex from moving until the matter was resolved. I am very disappointed in the results I received, especially in light of what I was charged. I definitely do not recommend TIffany as a family lawyer.

Post Divorce mistakes came to light

I left a glowing review for Tiffany Jensen last October, but unfortunately I wrote my review too soon. After the divorce was over it came to my attention that Ms. Jensen had made several mistakes that in the end, I had to pay for....and,she has kept the remaining (unused) funds from my account. When ...I first learned of the mistakes Ms. Jensen hand made, I immediately contacted her via email and asked her to help me sort them out. Unfortunately, I heard nothing. Eventually, (after several weeks and additional emails reaching out to her,) I finally had a brief, curt reply from her. And even then she basically blew me off. She made excuses about how busy she was, telling me she would "get back" to me when the case she was working on was over. Unfortunately, Two months later I still had no response from her, so sent her a formal letter of complaint, asking for a prompt response. Sadly, weeks have gone by since then and I still have not heard anything at all from her. I am deeply disappointed, and feel that her lack of response is not only unprofessional, but also disrespectful. Her mistakes ended up costing me thousands of dollars, and she has not even taken a few minutes to discuss it with me. This situation is truly unfortunate, and I was completely willing to believe it was just a mistake - but now I look back and wonder if she was even paying much attention to the details of my case. She certainly has not taken any responsibility for her mistakes - in fact she is ignoring both the mistakes and myself. I now feel that my only option for any recourse at all is to write this second review to warn prospective clients that this attorney may NOT have your best interests heart.

"I have personally observed Ms. Jensen’s strong work ethic and unwavering advocacy on behalf of her clients. Ms. Jensen’s background provides her with the experience and skills necessary to address her clients' needs. A strong indicator of an attorney’s ability is whether his/her professional colleagues would entrust their personal affairs in the attorney’s hands. Not every attorney is capable of earning such respect and trust. I would trust Ms. Jensen to handle my case, and that is why I eagerly endorse this attorney."
