Words cannot begin to express how thankful we are for Attorney, Jeanette Durham. Jeanette is absolutely the best, hands down. We feel genuinely blessed to have had such a kind, caring, knowledgeable attorney, to be by our side throughout a two year custody battle. Jeanette was there to listen and talk during the worst times, helping us to cope with the uncertainties and fear that people face in these situations. She was also there to kindly protect us from unnecessary stressors at court. Beyond her compassion, Jeanette is ( in our limited experience in a court room ) so very articulate and charismatic in the court room. She takes charge and follows through, working hard for her client. We would absolutely use Jeanette again in the future! Sincerely, Diana & Greg
Jeanette was my attorney for 2 years in a family matter. She is hands down the best!! I'm pretty stubborn about things, but when she told me that if I listen to her and do what she says, things will go so much smoother. And boy was she right! I followed her advice on everything and we prevailed!! Jeanette isn't one of those attorneys that is just looking for a paycheck. Jeanette truly cares about you and your case! In all honesty, after working with her for 2 years, I'm going to miss talking with her. A great person on all levels!
Jeanette has been my lawyer for a lot of years. I first hired her to get custody of my son and I got it. I’ve had to rehire her every time that my sons mother files something else to try to take custody back. Every time we had a trial and every time I kept custody. She helped me every step of the way. She is not cheap but she is worth every penny and it could have been worse because there were plenty of times when I looked on my bill and saw that she did not bill for things she did. She’s not the type that bills you for every single possible dollar that she could get.
She fought for me the whole way through my divorce. She was an advocate for the truth and was always there to answer any questions and was very patient in explaining how the process works. Highly recommend!
Jeanette has been an amazing asset to our family. She’s thorough, down to earth, gives you all options, isn’t driven by money but instead is driven by doing what’s right. We are forever grateful to her for what she has done and continues to do to help our family.
I hired Jeanette Durham for four cases. Two cases in 2016 and two cases in 2018. I'm so grateful for her. One was a very sensitive PFA case. She was extremely professional and made me feel comfortable with her. She was was right by my side at one of the most painful times in my life. I don't know what I would've done without her. She was my my rock! We got the best results we could've. We both we very happy with the outcome. The second case was to modify my custody agreement. This motion to modify wasn't filed my myself but from my child's father. He was claiming I was unfit and my child wasn't safe in my presence. Which this person was the same person who I filed the PFA against. With those strong allegations she helped me get a new modified agreement filed. She typed the entire agreement out even though the defendant filed the motion and didnt know what he wanted. So, we took some time and we put in every situation we could think of from holidays to passport related issues. She even added in extra words just incase laws change for tax purposes. So my agreement will always be a valid one. Some other attorneys don't and then you would have rehire them to fix it. She's a very detail-oriented and organized attorney which I loved because it can be very stressful having to go through something like this. She had my best interest in mind. We ended up not having to go to trial on either case which was what I wanted. If you hire Jeanette she will fight for you like she fought for me. I wouldn't hire anyone else!
I called multiple lawyers and had to leave a voicemail on all. Jeanette was the only one that called me back. I hired her immediately. Met with her and did the consultation and was very happy. She followed through everything and I left very happy in the end. I would highly recommend her. Very down to earth!
When I consulted with Jeanette Durham I was completely overwhelmed by the court process. When I hired her I felt a huge sense of relief and confidence in her. She fought for me and my child to ensure our safety through a domestic violence divorce situation. I couldn't have got through it without her.
Explained pros and cons of every step and worked with everyone to come up with an agreement with no need for trial.
I have never needed to use a lawyer before but I'm so glad I choose Jeanette out of the myriad of options. Jeanette made an otherwise difficult and painful process as smooth as possible for me. There were no grand promises only truthful explanations of what to expect. I got the sense from the get-go that Jeanette truly cares about difficult family dynamics and wants what is in the best interest of any children involved, and that her end goal is to protect the children while recognizing the fact that two people still need to continue co-parenting in the aftermath. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a thoughtful and caring lawyer to handle family issues, divorce, or, child custody matters. Jeanette is honest and compassionate with a strong work ethic to see things to completion.
