After contacting a host of attorneys, Jennifer was a breath of fresh air. She quickly picked up the needed facts and treated me as a person, not just a client. Jennifer gave me strong advice and helped my navigate my divorce and child custody situation, keeping the children's best interest in mind. My case was highly contested and after a trial, I (the father) received primary custody of the children.

I can’t say enough about how great my experience was with Jen and her staff. She is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and in the rare cases she might not know something she goes out of her way to find answers. She is a very strong advocate for her clients and goes the extra step to ensure their needs are being met, questions answered and the best possible outcomes are achieved. I think so incredibly highly of this woman and I never met her in person (Covid). I highly recommend her, she’s the best of the best!

Jennifer is the best attorney around in the Quad cities. My fiancé and I hired her when we needed an emergency custody order. She initially met with us on a Saturday afternoon. She started work before even asking for the initial retainer. She was able to get us our emergency order and has since been able to keep it in place. We have had two additional hearings with her. She does NOT mess around! She is very straight forward, will tell you like it is, and tell you exactly how things are going to work. She has a game plan, sticks to it and exceeds it with excellence. The Midwest is known for favoring mothers, but Jen has been able to help my fiancé and I keep his daughter and is continuing to fight for us. We have spoken to her many evenings and on many weekends as well. She is a strong arm! She will literally embarrass the other party on the stand, in a professional manner, proving her professionalism. She has your back, but is open and honest with you as well and won’t feed you lies to make you happy. She has done a tremendous job at fighting for us, organizing all of our crazy information and exhibits, files documents timely and keeps in touch on what the next steps are. I am so thankful we found her when we did and that she will continue to fight for us through this difficult time!

Jennifer works hard for her clients and keeps the best interests of the involved children in mind. I was extremely happy with her representation in my divorce case, which was long and complicated. She picked up the facts very quickly and she has an amazing memory. I felt very connected with her and we had many conversations after 7pm at night as well as on weekends. My case went to trial and Jen stayed focused and strong. I would highly recommend her, especially if you want what’s best for the children.

She was very honest with me when I had concerns about my children's visitation schedule. I appreciated that she was to the point when she communicated with me about my concerns and didn't talk me in circles.

Jennifer works tirelessly to represent her clients. She is tough, knowledgeable, a strong advocate for the best interest of children. She goes the extra mile to make sure she has all the information to represent her clients. She has a strong work ethic. Highly recommend her to anyone. She is straight forward and will provide honest, accurate feedback from legal perspective.( maybe some do not prefer honesty?) she is hands down the best! Reasonable, very fair fees.

Jennifer represented me in my divorce custody case. My case went to trial and she was fantastic! She was organized and when cross examining my x-husband she was able to catch him in many lies, which helped the judge see that I was the best parent to have primary custody if my child. I would highly reccomed her!
