When I first meet Jennifer in her office I was a nervous wreck. I had already served my children's mother with divorce paperwork and was trying to get custody of our children myself. The decision to make some changes to better my children’s and my life was important and had to be done. Once I got my children's mother's response I lost confidence and needed help. So I found myself Pacing back and forth in Jennifer's office telling her of my situation, I felt quickly at ease. Jennifer believed in me and what I was trying to accomplish. Jennifer reassured me that everything was going to be ok and she would try her best to help me. Realizing that my divorce was going to difficult and the custody of my children was not going to be any easier. Jennifer never promised the outcome of our case, but she did promise she would represent me and try her best. Jennifer and her Firm gave me the chance to prove that I can and could provide a safer, cleaner environment and all around better life for my three children. I could go on and on about my situation but I am here to talk about Jennifer Gogert. When no one would believe me Jennifer did. When the Cards were stacked against me Jennifer knocked em down and reshuffled the Deck. If you’re honest and you believe in your heart what you’re doing is right, sometimes all it takes is finding that right person to listen to you. I guess you might say Jennifer was that person for me and I will never forget what she did for my children I....
Jennifer and her team helped me resolve several post-divorce issues that came up two months before my last support payment to my ex. During my initial interview, Jennifer grasped the whole scenario within minutes, and before the end of the interview she gave me three possible ways to respond. In the end, we won in court on all three issues. After that, I used Jennifer and her team to tie up some more loose ends pertaining to my divorce. While Jennifer cost me a bit more than my previous attorney, I believe I got better results, so the investment was worth it.
As a family law litigator, I work hard to advocate for my clients and resolve their family law concerns. My practice includes complex custody issues between parents, difficult asset distribution issues in dissolution matters, adoptions, child support matters, and third party custody issues.
With my estate planning practice, I help clients plan for blended families, resolve issues for health care and financial planning in the event of incapacity and make sure their wishes are clearly made known.
I am a strong, but caring advocate for my clients. I take my role as “Lawyer and Counselor” seriously as we struggle through the complex issues. I have a good reputation and believe I am usually successful as a litigator, or in negotiation for a beneficial settlement for my clients.
My practice is guided by the idea that my clients are, and must be in charge of their own lives. I try to help them focus on improving their future by making good decisions when stress may overcome good judgment, and to make wise decisions for the rest of their lives as the disputes of marriage are resolved.
When I am away from the courtroom and the practice of law, I just enjoy my time with my husband and daughter, and our 3 dogs. We, the five of us, love hiking together, and I love gardening, reading, cooking and knitting, when, and if I have any spare time.
If you think I could help you, or if you have questions about your problems, please call and set up an appointment so that we can discuss these issues privately, and in depth.

Excellent and a Wonderful Advocate
Jennifer is a wonderful attorney who is responsive to her clients needs and willing to strongly advocate for her clients. She is very quick and responsive. Her team is extraordinary and when things are difficult, they are all there to keep you on track with next steps and what to expect. There are no questions when you're represented by Jennifer. She keeps you informed and helps you know what is in the best interest of your case. I never felt overwhelmed by the process and I knew that Jennifer would help to ensure that the outcome of my case was exactly what I was hoping for. She is fantastic, brilliant and very easy to work with. I've recommended her to a friend who retained her services and felt that her experience with Jennifer was just as beneficial.
