Best decision

We highly recommend Jill Brittle. Jill helped my husband and me (as my husband’s power of attorney) navigate through over 4 difficult years of an incredibly acrimonious and lengthy divorce trial and subsequent multiple motions against my disabled husband by his ex-wife. I am so grateful to have had ...her on our side and by our side. Thanks to Jill, we are currently NOT in litigation and are now going on a year without further harassment. This is due to the detailed nature of the final judgment that she crafted with us and that she was able to get approved by the court. Jill’s skills in the courtroom were always professional and to the point (we were in the courtroom 6 separate times). Jill clearly had the respect of the judge due to her clarity and knowledge of what was relevant to bring to the courtroom (and what was not). She never wasted the court’s time and always gave my husband and me correct advice on how to best present our side. My husband and I have since used Jill’s services to write our wills and we plan to continue to utilize her expertise in the coming years on an as-needed basis. We feel so fortunate to have had Jill’s support and expertise over the years.

A very sincere and outstanding attorney

I was referred to Jill Brittle when I was seeking an attorney after being served dissolution documents. I did not know where to turn and that referral turned out to be the best advise I ever received. Jill put me at ease from my first meeting with her. I knew within in minutes I had found the r...ight attorney at the worst time. Jill successfully negotiated with opposing counsel an out of court settlement through mediation. On the day of mediation I had no idea what to expect and Jill was excellent at explaining the process and me very comfortable with the process.Jill’s representation of my interest far exceeded my expectations, Jill was very thorough in her discovery with me in everything that was going to be considered through my divorce and protected my interest as fairly as possible. I strongly recommend Jill Brittle and if you need a personal referral you can contact me through Jill.
