Jennifer A Forquer

Jennifer was referred to me by a friend after an poor experience with another attorney which had put me in an unfortunate position. She helped me dig out and rewrite my parenting plan in a manner that was best for my children. She was very informative and straight forward and helped me stay calm wh...en things were not going as they should in my case. She quickly responded to my emails and answered my questions even when I had already asked them multiple times until i fully understood the process. If it had not been for Jennifer I would have been stuck with a parenting plan that would not have worked well for my children or allowed me to move on with my life. I highly recommend her.

There is no perfect post-divorce-with-children scenario. It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is a learning curve to co-parenting which can be riff with challenges. When guided by a lawyer who genuinely cares, the parties will ultimately thrive. I base this on my 3+ years experience as... a client with superb [Seattle] family lawyer, Jennifer Forquer. I have always been able to rely on her to be engaged and understanding of the unique personal dynamics of our high conflict case, which was further complicated by international elements. Without fail, she prioritized the long-term best interests of our children, and she thought through what could bring us a better future. Jennifer's strength as a lawyer is that she will tenaciously and constructively strive for what is best for the family. She has a genuine aim to proactively help plan the financial dimensions and authentically reduce the potential emotional acrimony over the long haul. I value that Jennifer is an active listener with a steel-trap mind for details, extensive acumen of the relevant law, resourceful, and able to pull together a big picture view of what is fair-minded and practical. Whenever challenges arose, Jennifer remained unflappable, ethical, non-judgmental, and most-importantly reliably solutions-minded. Along the way she has offered me choices. She made herself directly available to communicate about different options I had and what the immediate and long-term horizon ramifications might be. Consistently over time, Jennifer has proven not to be your stereotypical lawyer. The highest praise I can give is that she has been a consummate professional, but also a teacher and a friend. She has championed the stability and welfare of our family collectively and as individuals. By her example, she has taught me to be a better communicator. The knock-on benefits are that our family is able to move forward with our lives in a positive way. Thank you, Jennifer! To all future clients who may be fortunate enough to have Jennifer representing you, without hesitation I know that she will have your back.

If your reading my review (male or female) you are in a tough spot in your life. All I can say is that you will need an attorney that is detail oriented, responsive, knowledgeable, patient, tenacious, confident, and gives the feeling that they "Want to win." Jen is this, I'm very lucky to have had ...her throughout my divorce. I don't think I could say enough about Jennifer Forquer ("Jen"). She is all of the above and more. My case was a high conflict one, with a number of difficult issues that needed to be dealt with. I will list these and talk a little about how well Jen represented and took care of me regarding each issue. 1. Parenting Plan: I'm a father of two wonderful children and I was very concerned about having time with them and continuing to do annual events with them. Jen saw to it that my parenting plan included all of my needs and the needs of my children. We prevailed in mediation, and I am very happy about my final parenting plan! 2. Spousal Support: My case involved this. I can't get to detailed here. I will only say that I had a "mountain to climb" in order to make this a non-modifiable order. Jen, did a wonderful job in getting the needed information through legal avenues that allowed her to make a strong argument as to why the order should be non-modifiable. Again, in mediation she prevailed, and the final order for spousal support is Non-Modifiable! This was the "brass-ring" for me regarding spousal maintenance. Also, Jen made sure that I could "live" regarding how much spousal maintenance and child support I owe each month. I'm able to take care myself, my children, and have enough left over to do a few fun activities with my kids each month. This is huge! I think that Jen's eye for detail really helped in crafting the amounts of Spousal Maintenance and Child Support that I could live with. 3. Asset allocation: I'm very happy about how the assets/debts were distributed. Again, in mediation we had a fair split of the above in my view. I'm very happy about how this was allocated, and feel that I prevailed in keeping this portion of the divorce equitable. Jen was always easy to reach via email, phone, or face to face. She is very knowledgeable and can disseminate this knowledge in a way that is understandable. She was always open to my view and would give me the pros and cons of my view. Lastly, in dealing with opposing council and the court, Jen represented me in a strong, thoughtful and tactful way. I believe that this was incredibly important in the finalization of my divorce. The other side knew I had a strong, competent attorney that was ready to go and wouldn't back down. Jen prevailed in court regarding an issue that was pivotal to my divorce. Again I can't get to detailed, I will only say that without her being able to prevail, I would not have gotten my "brass ring." Thanks for taking the time to read this, good luck. Sincerely, Chad
