Jennifer got results quickly. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very helpful. Difficult divorce was finalized quickly.

I hired Jennifer as my representative for a collaborative divorce from my wife of 20 years. Jennifer was extremely patient, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the process. She led most of the group discussions and was fair, honest, and calm, putting my wife and I at ease during what is normally a stressful time. She provided me with critical advice at the right times, and I cannot overstate how happy I am with both the process and the results, thanks to her.

Jennifer was an up front, no-nonsense attorney for my divorce in Virginia. I knew from my initial consultation that she was the right fit for me. She assisted with my separation agreement and provided invaluable legal advice about maneuvering through the process and managing potentially contentious issues. All of this occurred during the pandemic. She is well known and highly respected within the Northern Virginia legal systems. I recommend her unequivocally.

Jennifer was simply outstanding. She was always prepared, retained all the facts and details of my case and was always available. She is an outstanding writer and communicator. She walked me through the pros and cons of every decision I was faced with and helped me get to a resolution that was both positive and fair. She was also extremely fair when it came to billing me and that's saying something. A true professional from start to finish. The best!

Jennifer has an exceptional professional competence, and also demonstrated an outstanding client communication acumen. She is one of those professional rarities who can make a difficult undertaking easier.

Ms. Bradley was a true pleasure to work with, handling a contentious case with ease, and guiding me through a number of tricky issues. Her skill in dealing with frequently difficult opposing counsel was evident from the start. Her attention to detail was key in achieving a final resolution. And her patience in dealing with issues from the other side, lengthy pandemic-related delays, and my own concerns along the way goes far above the bar for anything I would have expected at the beginning of the process. I have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Bradley for any family law needs.

Jennifer navigated a unique and rather contentious case with incredible expertise and sophistication. She went above and beyond the call of duty to help me through a difficult case during a global pandemic. She handled all communication in a prompt, timely, and professional manner despite multiple twists and turns. Her knowledge and poise is second to none. Jennifer is also highly respected by local colleagues and judges in Arlington County and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking legal advice in the area of divorce or family law, she is simply the best.

I hired Ms. Bradley to help me convert a sign separation agreement in to a divorce. I found her to be responsive, knowledgable and thorough. She quickly identified areas of our separation agreement that needed to be updated and helped me navigate some complex questions regarding military retirement. I absolutely recommend her based on my experience.

Jennifer and her team made it effortless for me to finalize an uncontested divorce. Via phone and email, she had everything she needed to complete the process. My paperwork sat around for months because I had no idea how to submit it - - within a few days of contacting Jennifer, the divorce was filed and in a few short weeks it was finalized.

After a ton of research, I interviewed 3 other attorneys in the Northern Virginia area before meeting Jennifer Bradley. One question I asked each one was, “If the conflict check had precluded you from representing me, who would you recommend I interview next to represent me?” Every single one of those 3 attorneys pointed me toward MDMB as a firm and Jennifer Bradley specifically as an attorney. It was immediately evident from our initial consultation that Jennifer was competent and experienced. I gradually learned that she was a fantastic listener while also being a patient explainer, a diligent planner but also a savvy strategist. She was on top of everything from day one. The thing that really sets Jennifer apart though, and I think this is probably why she is so respected by her peers, is that she is client first – and not in the slogan-y/buzzword-y sense that many firms probably use in their advertisements. There are firms out there that see divorce as an industry and see their firm’s mission within that industry as maximizing profit, even at the expense of their client. They do this by protracting negotiations unnecessarily, under-supervising or under-training junior associates and fostering unrealistic expectations in their clients’ demands. As a client, this creates a dynamic where you end up spending more on legal fees than the value of that last trivial item that was being argued over during that drawn out back and forth. By contrast, Jennifer uses her experience to tell you at the very beginning, based on the facts of your situation how things are likely to pan out if you go to court – which she knows based on her wealth of experience in family law at an elite level in one of the country’s most demanding legal markets. She then proceeds to drive toward that outcome as quickly as possible, outside of court, which saves you money and stress (even if it means she has to spoon-feed the statutes and precedent to the other side because she knows the law better than they do). To me, this is what it really means to put your client first. Divorce is stressful enough, do yourself a favor and hire a competent, pragmatic and talented attorney, like Jennifer Bradley.
