She's an excellent attorney. She is well composed and fought hard for me. The date of my trial was 9/11/01. Yes the 9/11. We entered into court as the first planes hit the towers. Jill held her composer and we continued and she won! Jill's the BEST!!!!!!!

Jill came highly recommended by a few friends. I was not disappointed! She is friendly, knowledgeable, exhibits wonderful communication skills, was responsive to our (my wife and I) needs, and is tenacious. Most importantly, she is honest and cares about her clients.

I was fortunately referred to Jill Bollwerk for legal representation. She was outstanding in professionally handling every aspect of my case, which had some complexities. There also was no initial consultation fee. If she practices in the area of law you seek representation for, I recommend you make an initial appointment to let her review your case. I left her office knowing I was in good hands after our first meeting. You'll find she and her office staff to be trustworthy, warm, and excellent communicators. As a result, Jill Bollwerk earns my highest recommendation.

Mrs. Bollwerk was recommended to me by my trusted chiropractor. Once I met Jill it was an easy decision to hire her to handle my case, it was great advice well taken! She walked me through the entire situation every step of the way. She was extremely helpful, thorough, sincere & patient with me and my family during the last 2.5 years. She had a lot confidence in me, the case & herself and we won! I highly recommend Mrs. Bollwerk! Her office staff & assistant were very pleasant & helpful as well!

Ms. Bollwerk took over a case in the hands of another attorney. I had not heard from him in over a year. Jill settled the matter promptly and to my satisfaction. During that time she always kept me in the loop and I felt that she heard what I had to say. She was very professional and she earned my respect. I would highly recommend her.
