Excellent Attorney!

We consulted several attorneys before selecting Jacque. I found her online and read the reviews then called her office to explain our complex situation. Her staff was extremely responsive and that was a great first impression to me. Our legal situation involves an elder case (my mother who is inca...pacitated), a real estate transaction and a Power of Attorney (POA) with a breach of fiduciary duties. When circumstances ramped up the timeline, Jacque and her able staff provided a quick response and got us into court the following day for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) which is extremely difficult to get. The judge granted it to Jacque without hesitancy. Yeah! As things progressed, this complex case took many twists and turns. It’s extremely difficult to un-ring the bell of retrieving land that had been secretly sold undervalue to my sister. We have found Jacque to honest, ethical and uses good judgement. She thinks through the entire situation before taking action. She does not shoot from the hip, only to regret it later. She is easy to work with, her staff is superb and we would definitely recommend her. She does NOT hesitate to take on difficult, complex cases, in fact, she thrives on them. Her 32 years of experience shines through.

helpful and understanding

Jacque is amazing. I found her by Googling lawyers, and I'm so glad I got lucky with her. She fought ferociously for what was best for me and my children. She did a fantastic job of explaining the legal process in a way that made it easy to understand, and all in a very timely manner. When it came to... fees and payment she was fair. She was much more concerned about me as a client than my money. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer that is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.

Equality is our right!

I hired Jacque for a very stressful divorce. She was a active listener and never got distracted but just focused on my case when we we're together. Never made me feel dumb and always took the time to explain or answer my questions. Sometimes it’s hard to capture what’s happening because this is a emo...tional process. I can’t Thank her enough for the level of care I felt from her and how she made me more confident along the process through her support and communication . She was so professional and kind throughout this tough experience. I am forever grateful that I hired her. I highly recommend Jacque if you need a divorce attorney who a really hears and will fight for what you deserve relentlessly.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Personable,

Jacque is an attorney you want on your side when your going through a divorce. Jacque and her team helped guide me through one of the most emotionally draining experience of my life. Her and her staff were gracious and professional. She knew exactly what to do and I could not be happier with the outc...ome. She was always available when I needed her professional advice and I always felt like she listened to me. She isn’t just another typical lawyer. She is a fearless and will stand up for you and get the job done. I don't know what I would of done without her. I highly recommend her and her team.
