Jennifer Lynn Tepker

A few years ago I got myself in a bit of a mess. My life was completely lost to drugs and alcohol. I lost my daughter to CPS and I was hopeless. I was scared I was tired and I felt absolutely worthless. I knew i wanted to be a better mom and a productive member of society but i didnt know how to g...et there, And when you have lived a checkered life as I did, it is also very hard to find someone that truly believes in you and wants to help you overcome the hurdles. And when you come from a broken past you trust NO ONE. Well i found the person in Jennifer. She believed in me and she was so kind and compassionate it would have been almost impossible not to trust her. She was there for me when i needed someone the most. She told me exactly what I needed to do and didn't dance around the truth. She was very firm with a gentle hand and a gentle spirit. Sometimes i didn't like what she had to say but it was always true and it came from a good place. A place of wanted to see me succeed. She was present at all of my hearings and when she wasn't able to be there sent one of her trusted collegues . Sometimes it took a few days to return phone calls, but lets face it, Attorneys have lives too. I got my daughter back, i am now in college full time, i have a house, a car, a decent man, I HAVE A LIFE. If it wasn't for people like Jennifer who believed in me and the Grace of God of course, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will be celebrating 2 years clean and sober tomorrow. I even sent her a text to let her know and she was so happy to not just hear that, she was also happy to here from me. I never once felt like I was a burden to Jennifer, She was always ready and willing to help, I had to do my part too. And if i ever started straying, she let me know. There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for everything Jennifer did for me and my family. Jennifer wasn't just my Attorney, Jennifer was and is my friend. I will be forever grateful for her.
