Child Custody - Relocation

I retained Jillyn to takeover my reduction in custody and relocation case. I was unsatisfied with the progress my original attorney was making on my case after 10 - 12 months. When Jillyn took over my case, she immediately took the reigns and got my case going. Jillyn is very smart, thorough ...and can hold her own in court. She did an outstanding job and won my case. She never stopped in her pursuit in justifying our position in court through thoughtful and logical research of the law and how to apply it to my case. My ex-husband's attorney is a long-standing, tough attorney and Jillyn navigated every twist and turn of my case beautifully. Time is of the essence when you are dealing with the custody of children. As a mother herself, Jillyn understood this and did everything in her power to ensure that my case was heard timely. If you are looking for an attorney to provide sound, logical and lawful advice, turn to Jillyn. You will not be disappointed. Without hesitation, I recommend Jillyn to anyone seeking an attorney for Family Law.

Best Advocate!

Jillyn represented me not only during my highly contentious divorce but also during the custody battle resulting from my relocation out of Tennessee. She was the calm in my life for more than 4 years. As a practicing attorney myself but on the business side of the law, I was constantly impressed at... the level of reasonableness and ethics that Jillyn brought to the table. She has the ability to cut through the drama and emotion of the issue at hand and present a rational solution which truly benefits her client. I also found her to be highly protective of the children involved in the messiness of their parents' divorce. My daughter and I are in a much better place because Jillyn was our advocate!

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."
