Superb Representation

I live out of state and was referred to Jean Kingsley in Bellingham, WA. I asked if she would represent a family member in a divorce case in which she lived in another state. I contacted various attorneys in Bellingham, WA and none of them wanted to represent people living in another state and/or a...ffordable. Pleasantly, Jean agreed to take on the case at an affordable rate. I was amazed considering circumstances of family member living in another state and couldn’t be present during court proceedings and/or hearings. Everything was via phone conferencing, emailing, faxing. Her expertise was absolutely SUPERB!! She was extremely professional and always accepted my calls. Her follow-up was perfect and very communicative and honest. I never once got transferred into her voicemail or had to wait anxiously for a returned phone call. She was always available to speak over the phone no matter how busy she was. She always had a positive wonderful attitude, extremely personable, patient, persistent, driven, intelligent, and hard working. In the end, she prevailed in my family member’s divorce case. I’m so elated and blessed I found her and that my family member’s divorce is finalized. I highly recommend her for representation. She’s amazing.
