Jennifer is an aggressive attorney that fought for me to get the best settlement for me in my divorce. She was thorough in returning calls and helping me understand the process.

Jennifer helped me in a drunk driving case. She filed Motions to exclude evidence and was aggressive in getting a plea to a lesser charge. She was worth every penny.

I can’t believe she can legally practice law with her ethics. I was embarrassed by her tactics
