This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

I don’t like her

I am a busy man, trying to raise 6 children with my homies. My language barrier make it hard to understand, however lady is very rude when talking. Our meeting was short, and she had to leave early. She never called back to make more appointment.

Awful

Time was of the essence, and I needed an attorney with a proven record of being attentive. Jillyn was not with divorce proceedings. She would take several days to answer any questions I had via all avenues of communication. Now, when Jillyn needed my input or signatures for documents she was pushy. I... would never recommend her services.

Give her a well earned two week’s notice

I hesitated posting this review until others shared similar circumstances using Jillyn in divorce. She is not an effective communicator. Nor did she have any interest in helping me regain custody of our children. I wanted a lawyer who remained top of the game, and she poorly demonstrated anything not...eworthy of providing positive criticism. I relived her of client duties and pursued another firm.

4 out of 5 divorcees would choose another lawyer

The title should provide enough explanation for one’s purpose of reviewing critcism of Jillyn. I wanted another attorney in this firm, but initially was provided with her. My efforts towards an uncontested divorce were essentially dismissed upon consultation. Jillyn isn’t passionate about her career.... She’s more concerned with a commitment towards propelling funding for her associated law firm.

Lack of communication

I originally chose Grant, Harris, and Konvalinka because I wanted to use John Konvalinka to represent me in my divorce. They said that I would be using Mrs. O’Shaughnessy and she would be “consulting” with Mr. Konvalinka. She was not a passionate attorney. I hardly ever heard from her unless I emaile...d her and my divorce was complicated and was going to require us working together frequently. I ended up firing her and working with another firm.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jillyn is my go-to lawyer when a friend or family member asks for help on a family law matter, whether it's a divorce, child custody, or child support issue. She is whip smart and also skilled at explaining complicated concepts in an easy to understand way. She's very compassionate with her clients. She will fight hard for her clients' interests, but is not so rude or aggressive that it backfires and ends up hurting her client. I highly recommend Jillyn to handle any family law matter."
