Jennie is a very professional, thorough, tough attorney. She successfully defended me against multiple attempts by my ex to not obey the divorce decree. She helped me get an extremely fair and just settlement in the divorce, and despite appeals or trips back to court, she successfully defended our position each time. We have had to file rule to show cause on multiple occasions and they were found in my favor, or settled (in my favor each time). I have personally recommended her to several people knowing that they will be in excellent hands with her. After 7 years, there are still issues and Jennie has stuck by my side and is there for me every time he tries something else. Jennie is very honest with her clients as well. If I was being unreasonable she would let me know what is truly possible and what is not. She does not like wasting time and will clearly state if something will be a waste of time, effort and money. She does not drag things out or suggest unnecessary things in order to bill. She is very fair in her billing and when she is working for you as her client, she is working hard and looking at every detail. She is extremely smart and very quick on her feet. In the courtroom, she is articulate and very direct with her questions being very prepared when she walked in. She spent time prepping me for court and I can honestly say that she was my strength through this entire ordeal. Having her fight for me gave me strength that he would not defeat me or get away with pulling the things he did. And he did not. As I said, she was successful each attempt that was made. I VERY highly recommend Jennie Clausen as an attorney and can say with 100% certainty and honesty that she will fight for you and defend you to the best of her ability. (And I feel her ability is phenomenal)

We needed a lawyer who was going to be dedicated to our case. We had a very difficult child custody case. She has spent many of hours with us. On the phone, in person, or e-mail she has always treated us like we were her only clients. We won our case with her hard work and dedication. Even a year after our case was heard, she continues to be there when we have questions. We highly recommend Jennie Clausen.

Jennie was incredibly easy to work with. She has a very expansive knowledge base in regards to financials statements and ensuring you receive a fair settlement. She was professional, compassionate, trustworthy and assertive. I am very happy she was on my side! Going forward, should I need representation, I will not hesitate to call Jennie. Extremely satisfied with the outcome of my divorce settlement.

My divorce and custody battle was one of the most drawn out, stressful processes because of some very large issues that occurred with my ex-husband. Jennie studied my case and knew my history and story inside out and backwards. She answered every question and took every issue very seriously. She worked tirelessly for me and the best interest of my daughter. She was the calm in the storm for me. Her level of integrity is outstanding. Jennie keeps things very real with you at all times and wants to make sure you are prepared for any outcome, but she will fight for you every step of the way. If I ever need an attorney for anything again, Jennie will be my first call. I truly would not recommend anyone else.

Jennie has always put the needs of my children first and kept them always in mind when guiding me through this divorce process. It has always been about what was best for them and ensuring I was cared for as well. She would check in with me to see how I was doing as Covid and the courts delayed my divorce for quite some time. It was very refreshing to know there are good people out there that care so much about others. From the initial consultation to the two years after, Jennie has always been there for me. Jennie’s office was prompt and professional and I would highly recommend Jennie and her partners to anyone!

Jennie is committed to providing excellent service. She has worked with me over the course of more than five years. She is responsive to email questions, patient with making sure the process makes sense and genuinely invested in making an effective case. I cannot recommend her enough.

Jennie, as well as her assistant, are very professional and straight forward. Jennie is knowledgeable about the law, her peers, and the judges. She doesn't waste your time or her time (this is a critical point). If I wanted feedback she gave it to me point blank. If my emotions were overruling my logic she set me straight. At the same time she is understanding and has empathy for the stress a divorce can create. However, her job is to guide and represent you in the courts and that is what she does.

I have used Attorney Clausen twice and she is absolutely incredible! If you want a lawyer who is personable, will gather every bit of evidence possible, will prep you on every question you will respond to in court, will dig through body cams/police reports, and will "Fight Like Hell" for you...then Attorney Clausen is who you want!

Jennie is very professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and thorough. I would and will recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel. My situation was exceedingly complicated and required meticulous study and attention, which was provided by Jennie and her team. I felt like I was being expertly represented and protected regarding every point presented during divorce proceedings.
