Legal Advocate

I have supported several clients through legal processes with Jennifer Tepker as their attorney. I found them to be well represented. She was responsive to concerns and questions. She gave excellent advice through very difficult legal cases in Dependency Court. She always addressed them in a thou...ghtful and respectful manner. I sat in on many meetings and hearings. She insured that the clients' rights were protected both in her speech with the court and in actions such as setting hearings and meetings. Besides witnessing Jennifer's work, my clients always told me how much they appreciated her expertise. Typically attorneys are assigned in Dependency actions and I'm always hopeful that my clients will get Jennifer assigned to their case.

Nice person non communication as to client in law.

Mrs. Tepker is a very nice person but she does not communicate or call back in a timely manner. She was my lawyer but asked me what I needed to know yet if I knew the law I would not need her. So the problem is that she should be telling me what I need to know not asking. I pray she learns that for h...er clients sake. The other issue is a lawyer that deals in government contracts should not also deal in cps clients it seems very much a confllict of interest.

Thank you for this review. I am pleased to report that I was recently able to restructure my practice, and I now practice solely in Dependency Court, representing parents in actions where the State has interceded and the court has removed children from their family home. This modification has created greater opportunity for one-on-one staffings, provided additional time for motion strategy and practice, and reduced my response time. In addition, I have eliminated any perceptions of conflict. Kind regards, Jennifer
