Extremely ill-prepared attorney
This is by far one of the worst attorneys I have ever seen! I have NEVER seen an attorney so ill prepared! Twice......she was putting together her documentation on the bench directly outside the courtroom door! She's extremely ill-prepared, documentation is not done on time, continuance after cont...

Made Divorce Even More Stressful
When I first started working with Jennifer, she was very effective and responsive. However, as soon as I didn't do exactly what she advised, things quickly fell apart. The things she was suggesting seemed unreasonable to me and unrealistic and would have caused additional stress and cost thousands of...
