Great experience with Cedar River Law

Jennifer helped us navigate the sale of our home without a real estate agent. She listened carefully and understood right away what we needed. She responded to our questions quickly, and gave us honest advice when necessary. Our situation wasn't complicated, but the whole process went so smoothly tha...t it made us really feel good about what we were doing. I highly recommend hiring Jennifer for real estate transactions or advice.

If you are looking for the best, you've found her!

Jennifer represented me through a very difficult legal period and saved me from foreclosure with literally hours to spare. When I first spoke to her she said "don't worry", and she meant it. She was thorough, kept me on point, really came through. If you found your way to her, you are lucky and wi...ll not be disappointed.

Execellent Lawyer

I had a very tough case that took two years to settle by fault of the other party. Jennifer helped me tremendously from beginning to end. She is very professional yet personable and understanding in difficult situations. She is an expert in real estate law and she I can't recommend her enough.

You know you are in good hands when a Lawyer friend refers you.

Jennifer impressed me so much when I briefly worked with her. Her responses were focused on what was best for me and she took the time to fully understand what my concerns were. As an administrator for a164 unit facility, I know where I will go for all my legal needs.

Excellent Advice!!

My husband and I were looking to rent our home and even sell it if possible. We thought offering a lease with option to buy would help us sell even faster. We were approached by a family and met with them to discuss the terms. After a bit of time, we realized we wanted the intricacies of the terms... to be spelled out in a legal document and hired Jennifer to help us work through these terms. Jennifer offered us some excellent advice about what we needed to include, gave us some important questions to ask our renters, and began to put the paperwork together for us. When we returned to the discussion table with our potential renters, they began to balk at the legal involvement and eventually backed out of the deal citing concerns with getting lawyers involved. Although Jennifer had completed our paperwork, she discounted her services for us because the deal didn't go through but most importantly we truly believe that she saved us from getting into a deal with people who would have most likely caused us difficulties in the future. Having the advice of an attorney who has your best interest at heart can and will save you future problems. Jennifer gave us good advice, protected our assets and was willing to work with us to make sure we were well informed of the risk/benefit ratio. She was professional, kept in close contact, knowledgeable and reasonable with her rates. If we ever need a Real Estate Attorney in the future, she will be the first person we call.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I opposed Jennifer on several complex litigation matters when Jennifer was employed by the Attorney General's Office. I was extremely impressed with her thoroughness, responsiveness, professional courtesy, and her strong sense of ethics. I have tried a case with her and found her to be outstanding in the courtroom. She has a native intelligence for trial work, excellent instincts, is quick on her feet, and has terrific courtroom presence. I was also always impressed by the quality of her written work and oral advocacy skills. She is extremely intelligent, hard-working, and in addition, has a friendly, caring demeanor. We were able to be friends throughout the process, which is a true reflection of her professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to refer any family or friends to her. Hire her."
