Excellent experience

Jillyn was super professional and talented in favorably resolving a complicated divorce that invovled young children. She was great at returning my calls/e-mails, and provided excellent advice throughout.

Highly recommend Jillyn O'Shaughnessy

Jillyn was very knowledgeable in all areas of divorce, an area I found very confusing. She was always available to answer my questions and explain the procedures to me. She was wonderful, extremely thoughtful and helpful through my stressful time. Jillyn kept the best interest of my children and mys...elf at her forefront. Divorce is something I never envisioned for myself or my family, therefore I am very grateful I hired Jillyn to help me through process.

Brilliant Lawyer that’s knows THE LAW!

We all have expectations in life, sometimes the laws says that you just can’t do that. Sometimes it can be left to a judge to decide. This feedback comes from a MAN who gained child support and alimony because I choose the RIGHT lawyer and followed her advice to a “T.” I would highly recommend this b...rilliant woman as your choice. I highly recommend you listen to her opening council and engrave her words into your brain as your personal bible. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!! Then, just keep listening. I can’t post on the internet how invaluable her advice is because it is so damn good. All you have to do is set aside your hormones/ego and listen to a woman’s adivice for once. I witnessed first hand: mediators asking her when laws changed and she responded with DATES of when it changed. They took her word as golden because, it is. My two friends who hired her because of my case, are very happy men. I can’t give this woman enough “thank you” for helping me in my time of literal crisis. She is by far the BEST divorce lawyer in our area and there is not one thing you can say to me that will change my opionion.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

I am so glad that I chose to have Jillyn assist me with my divorce. From our first consultation, which she scheduled within a day of my initial contact with the firm, to the day we stood in the courthouse to finalize paperwork, she was supportive, compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. She ...promptly returned emails and phone calls, and when she was unable to answer a question immediately, she told me when to expect a response. Jillyn was very familiar with the laws pertaining to child support, alimony and custody; additionally, she was able to help me navigate the Hamilton County courts system with ease. Jillyn helped me to remain calm during a lengthy mediation and her advice helped me to make healthy decisions during a time when emotions ran high. I highly recommend Jillyn O'Shaughnessy.

Above and beyond

Jillyn gave me honest advice from the beginning. She was straightforward with expectations and helped me focus on each step of the process. Jillyn was responsive to my requests and helped me keep a cool head in what is very frustrating and emotional process. In my case we went through two mediati...ons, discovery and deposition. Fortunately, Jillyn was finally able to work with opposing counsel on a final agreement before it became necessary to bring everything into court. We were able to negotiate a very good settlement and I have no doubt this was largely due to Jillyn's experience in family and divorce law. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of a family or divorce attorney.

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."
