Amazing attorney!

My husband hired Jennis Hemingway to assist with child custody issues with his son. From the initial consultation we felt informed and understood each step that we would be facing. All questions were answered thoroughly and quickly. I would recommend Ms. Hemingway. She is trustworthy, reliable and h...onest.

Great Prenup

Jennis prepared the prenup for my marriage. She listened to my concerns and asked clear questions to help me understand the issues. After assessing the situation, she presented me with a thorough document in a timely fashion. I highly recommend her services.

Amazing!

For the last 6 months, Jennis Hemingway has devoted her time and energy into my case. I was fighting to relocate from Phoenix with my son and every step of the way she was there for my family. Even while living in North Dakota, she made me feel secure and at ease about everything; legal or otherwise.... She was very qiuck in her responses, fair and resonably priced, and answered any and all questions i had. I have yet to be informed of the results of the hearing but I feel totally confident that everything possilble was covered. No matter the outcome i know she went above and beyond her obligations as my attorney. She is hard working and dedicated. i will recommend her to anyone in need of a good family attorney, and wouldn't hesitate to have her by my side if ever needed again!! With that being said, on behalf of myself and my family, thank you so very much Jennis for EVERYTHING!!

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.
