Jeannie has helped us through two tough situations, a job related one and a very sensitive family matter. She was professional, knowledgable and caring for both cases. The outcome of both was favorable and we are so blessed to call her our lawyer and friend. Her staff is great too. They were always helpful and considerate of our time and concerns.

I don't know where I would be if Jeannie didn't help me with my case. She is so extremely wise and took things personally. She really made sure that I was taken care of and didn't brush me off. I recommend her to anyone needing any legal help in family matters.

My divorce was very complex. My Ex and I could not agree on parenting time or anything else for that matter and we had substantial assets, but we also had significant debts. All I wanted was my children and to have the ability to support them. Jeannie made that happen for me. She fought for me every step of the way and made sure that I received every penny I was entitled to. She made sure that my children’s lives were not disrupted by the divorce. They could stay in the only home they have ever known, they could continue to go to their same school and they can come home to me at the end of every day! Jeannie listened to me, and knew what was important to me and she fought to get me everything I wanted and needed - I’m so glad I retained her.

Jeannie was wonderful and honest and knowledgeable in my divorce case with my very difficult ex. Jeannie stood up for me & my children every step of the way. I had a difficult and emotional case and was happy to have Jeannie on my side.

Jeannie is an exemplary attorney second to none. In a civil litigation case I had, my original attorney who filed the suit was disqualified from representing me early on and Jeannie approached me in court and offered to represent me. She explained that she had been paying attention to my case from the beginning and felt that she should offer her expertise and experience to assist me in seeing justice be delivered. From the first day she represented me in the suit, her work was nothing short of professional, efficient and effective. Her ability to organize, strategize and fight is second to none. She methodically delivered the best legal representation anyone may see. As a result of her steadfast dedication, attention to detail and knowledge of the law, I won my case in trial with results I was not expecting. She was able to overcome restrictions on what the jury was allowed to hear during the trial and simply outperformed the opposing attorney and giving the jury the most complete picture that she was allowed to present. I also retained Jeannie in my current divorce proceedings and her work on that has been nothing short of perfect. She was able to use all means of the law to deliver me the personal closure I needed to follow through with my divorce. She doesn't back down and I trust her with any/all of my legal matters in the future. I highly recommend Jeannie Ridings to anyone seeking legal representation.

Jeannie does a great job of listening to everything and then determining options and the best approach to take. She helped me through my divorce. I feel we settled amicably, and avoided some long time commitments, which were both important to me. She knows the system and is very respected.
