Excellent Lawyer! Knowledge, ethical, kind.

Jennifer helped my Dad several years ago. She did a great job. She made the process very easy for my elderly parents, was always very understanding, respectful and kind. She helped get my Dad get the closure he needed with a very unfortunate situation. I’m grateful for her service.

Top Notch Lawyer

After a bike/auto collision I was involved in required me to seek legal counsel I interviewed multiple lawyers. Jennifer stood out from the others immediately; she is straight forward, honest, open, excellent communicator and generally a great human. For nearly 3 years she and her team managed my cas...e which included multiple surgeries, insurance companies and other parties lawyers. She worked hard and diligently to ensure I was compensated for my injuries and even after settlement has been available to answer questions and help with any lingering issues. She is the only personal injury lawyer I would recommend.

Great Attorney!

One of the first the things I appreciated about Ms Jennifer L. Coughlin was how much and how well she listened to my concerns. Then she gave me advice on how I should proceed to best care for myself and explained in detail the options available to me to resolve my personal injury claim. Ms Coughl...in's staff was always very cheerful and helpful. Being a physician I have had many opportunities to work with personal injury attorneys. I must state Ms Coughlin cares more about her client, myself, and worked beyond expectations to resolve my personal injury case.

Posted by Billy | May 29, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Thank you to Jennifer Coughlin

Ms. Coughlin recognized the importance of securing a critical piece of evidence that was not obviously accessible, and then took on our family's wrongful death case at the end of 2014. Her actions basically sealed the fate of the case that took two years to settle out of court. Without her, we would... not have received the settlement we did and the plaintiff, my brother, would not have had the courage to continue living. Her influence in the case was that strong. We will always be grateful for what she did and how she went about it.

An excellent advocate!

Jennifer did an excellent job of advocating for me! She was kind, courteous, and thorough. She kept me informed throughout the entire process. She worked really really hard on my behalf and I am VERY grateful for her! She is excellent at what she does.
