    Professional misconduct


    This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority.

    • Probation
      issued in AZ, 2012

      updated on 01/19/2015

      Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

      Jill's comment:“Please understand that my discipline and probation negatively affects my rating on Avvo. My probation was not due to any infractions related to my legal representation. I received an Arizona DUI in 2010, was issued an admonition (lowest form of discipline) from the State Bar and placed on probation for that reason alone. I have never received any discipline related to my actual work as an attorney.”

    • Suspension
      issued in AZ, 2015

      updated on 05/13/2016

      Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

    Review Jill Rogers

    Jill Means Business

    Posted by

    Jill has always been on point with her knowledge of my case and how it pertains to family law. The attention to detail she pays to my case goes unmatched. Jill always has my best interests in mind and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a "no nonsense" attorney that sticks to the facts and fights the good fight. She took a look at my case after another local attorney completely overlooked obvious facts in my case and I got completely hosed for child support. Jill reviewed the outcome, immediately recognized oversights, and got my child support cut in half!!! She's the real deal!!

    Passionate and caring

    Posted by

    Jill Rogers is a great attorney who pays attention to detail and has a great work ethic. Ms. Rogers would listen attentively to my concerns, offer suggestions and help within her limits, and also reassurance in a time of heavy stress and uncertainty. Moreover, she kept great track of my case and kept me up to date on what was going on with filings, hearings, or other things. Her commitment, dedication and devotion to my case relieved a lot of stress off my shoulders and made me feel confident in her and her skill. I would gladly and HIGHLY recommend Ms. Rogers to anyone in need of Family Law assistance. Thank you Jill for all of your help. SIncerely, A satisfied client :)

    She Got the Job Done

    Posted by

    Her field is Family Law and she does a good job in that field. She did do what we wanted and asked for. Only negative was getting through to her because of staff. Our desire would be that she could have been a little more aggressive.
