Jennifer’s Recent Reviews

Jen has been my attorney since the start of what was without the most traumatic and difficult thing that I have ever experienced. Throughout the entirety of it she has always been extremely professional both in and outside the courtroom. Well prepared, no-nonsense, straight to the point type of personality, which anyone in those positions can certainly appreciate. I am grateful for the help and guidance she has provided throughout, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Having a issue in family court with the father having a lawyer and me given one that did not understand the whole situation . It appeared to me that he did not have my best interest addressed sufficiently. My mom couldn’t understand the unfairness and disrespect that was happening to me.

She immediately went on line to Avvo checking out specific lawyers . Jennifer was who she said I needed with all the investigating she did . She was right with just one appearance on my behalf was able to balance out the indifference and clear up the issues I was having not being represented accordingly by a well qualified attorney. I would strongly recommend Jennifer if you are in need of a highly skilled fast and efficient lawyer . Thank you so much Jennifer – Angela
