Jennifer is not only an amazing lawyer but also a parent and I was able to connect with her on a personal level. She listened and advised accordingly. I never felt pressured to do anything or take any deal I didn’t want to. My case was insanely difficult and Jennifer took her time to research and review every possible loophole. Although I chose to settle my case without a trial and the outcome didn’t exactly go in my favor, Jennifer was very supportive of my decision and helped with the process every step of the way. Having good lawyer on your side matters. I had very bad experience with my previous lawyer who left a lot of mess for Jennifer to clean up. Jennifer was blunt, honest and made no false promises which made me trust her and comfortable to work with. She stayed on top of my case and was always reachable. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is struggling to find a good family lawyer! She’s the best!

Mrs. Waterway was a jem to deal with and made my divorce process seamless. She explained each process and made herself available to all questions and went into detail or should I say dumbed it down for me. She was very thoughtful, respectful and helpful from beginning to end and even followed up after the divorce was final. I highly recommend Jennifer Waterway.

Jennifer was committed to the successful adoption of our infant son. She was both compassionate and professional. We found Jennifer to be diligent, organized, knowledgeable and a good communicator. Thanks to Jennifer we legally adopted our son within 3.5 short months after his birth!

Jennifer did a great job of helping us navigate through our complicated case of transferring jurisdiction to another state. She was extremely responsive to our calls and needs. We felt as though her presence and relationship with state attorneys/court personnel made all the difference. She was thorough and provided us with good advice throughout the case.
