Recommending Jenniffer E. Mandell

I am pleased to recommend Jennifer as your attorney. She has always done an excellent job in taking care of my various legal matters for several years. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, always keeps udated on new laws and is able to effecti...vely ensure that all projects are completed in a timely manner. She is always willing to offer her assistance in helping me to understand the various laws and put my mind at ease just knowing that she would make sure I got what was fair outcomes in all cases. She is unique among lawyers whom I've known in that she genuinely cares about her clients benefiting rather than the agenda of many lawyers whose priority is what they will get in recognition and monetary gains. She has become more than my lawyer. She has become a good friend. You can't go wrong retaining Jennifer as your lawyer. LINDA

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
