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.

Definitely recommend!! Professional, honest and effective!

Jillyn always answered any concerns or follow ups I had very promptly. I never had to wait to hear from her. Her professional advice saved me from having to go to court, and most importantly my kids having to go to court. Granted every case is different, in my case I obtained full custody of my kids ...in a very quick and efficient way. I would absolutely recommend anyone to go with her!

Child custody

Jillyn stepped in on a case that had been previously handled poorly resulting in a unfavorable judgment. In custody cases, it is very difficult to overturn a judgement. Jillyn stepped in after years of unsuccessful attempts and was able to make things right again. She not only reunited a family, but... saved a child. She is blunt and to the point, no frills. She will not tell you what you WANT to hear, she will tell you what you NEED to hear. Wonderful attorney!

Highly Recommend Attorney for Child Custody Cases

Jillyn was professional and responded quickly with answers to any questions I had for her. She was able to get my case resolved reaching a very positive outcome. Anyone would be wise to hire Jillyn as their attorney!

Amazing Lawyer and Person!

Jillyn came highly recommend and they were not wrong with their recommendation. Jillyn not only assisted me with my divorce but she also by far helped me the most with securing time with my children. As a father who values time with his children, Jillyn saw to it that I got all the time I wanted. ... She made this process go by smoothly and without issue. No words can express how grateful I am to her and her dedication to my case. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I recommend Jillyn without reservation! If your reading this just know you have found a person who will fight for you and give it to you straight.

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."
