Sensitive and solid as a rock

Trying to find a lawyer is not an easy task especially if you don't know any divorce lawyers plus what a personal and vulnerable position to be telling someone your "story" about why it has come to this and how you are going to get what is best for the kids and yourself. Jennifer is an organized, ...well thought out lawyer who truly does care about her clients. I found that first hand while going through a custody agreement and an agreed order. If you pick her to be your lawyer she will do eveything she can to get the outcome you want.

Highly Recommended

I contacted Anderson & Boback to represent me in my divorce. Kim Anderson and Jennifer represented me with Jennifer being my main contact and representation. Jennifer is knowlegeable and honest. She is a hard worker and is willing to stand up for what is right. She did not press to do anything unnece...ssary nor did she try to convince me to accept less than what I deserved. She worked hard to get me the fair result that I ended up with. Though the cost was higher than I'd anticipated/hoped for I'd say it was well worth it. While I do not wish divorce on anyone, if a divorce is inevitable I would HIGHLY recommend Jenner and the firm Anderson & Boback.

Jennifer Kolbusz is an Amazing Professional Attorney

I was saddled with a bad initial divorce Judgement and upon my review sought out the Law Firm I should have hired for the Initial divorce, Anderson and Boback. Kim Anderson suggested I use Jennifer for my Maintenance review and I was happy from the onset. Jennifer put me at ease and assured me that ...the cost of litigation,would be contained as best as possible with no unnecessary litigation presented. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking an Honest, Professional, and knowledgeable Attorney.I felt most confident in her representation of me and I would not hesitate to have her represent me in any legal matter...

Preciseness And Expertise Intermixed With Skill And Talent

Jennifer Kolbusz, epitomizes the field and profession of LAWYER. She tracks down and takes on each and every single case with pure initiative, energy and accuracy. Not only does she "go the extra mile" to ensure that her clients are being treated fairly and justly but she also maintains a great sense... of stability and assurance for them while they're concerned about the facts of their case. In my case, Jennifer, has always fought for me and advised me in every way possible to allow me to make the right choice instead of utilizing my instincts and because of her professionalism and knowledge, I was able to have my custody rights enforced again through the courts. Through Jennifer's expertise, my daughters and I are now together once again. When you take an Oath, you're challenging yourself to uphold a standard in which you are obligated to fulfill whether or not your personal background is being questioned. As a lawyer, you are required to either defend your clients or prosecute the violater whichever is your task to complete, without any biases or prejudice. On many occasions, people will bicker about the finances that lawyers are able to bring in, however, no one ever complains about the stress, hardwork and dedication that lawyers go through in protecting their clients and making sure that JUSTICE is upheld for them. Thank You Jennifer.

Personal Care & Concern But Powerful Presence in Court

Jennifer Kolbusz represented me in a post-decree matter and was my second lawyer. The difference between Ms. Kolbusz and my first lawyer was remarkable. Every filing Ms. Kolbusz submitted through the court was well written, and she fully explained every step of the process. I finally felt that I was ...receiving the personal attention for which I was paying. She even made herself available to me outside of regular business hours. Ms. Kolbusz not only provided the legal services promised but also was genuinely caring and helpful during the entire process. Overall, I felt a sense of care, concern, and trust I had not experienced before. She's a powerful presence in court!
