Jill Trayer came recommended as a lawyer that understands how to deal with high conflict personalities and mentally abusive situations and I knew she was the right divorce attorney for me the moment I met her. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Jill is well respected in her field and is genuinely compassionate to my situation. She had smart strategies to move my case forward to a divorce settlement and custody agreement. In the end, I kept my house, didn’t have to pay alimony, and got 100% of my retirement. With her experience and expertise, she’s helped me navigate the many issues my high conflict ex husband has created over the past few years. Jill fights hard for me and has been highly professional and responsive. More than once, Jill went the extra mile and went above and beyond for me. It is my pleasure to recommend Jill as a very qualified attorney who can handle your family law issues.

Jill is extremely knowledgeable and a great listener. My divorce took quite a while to finalize and she was there for me every step of the way in looking out for my best interests. I would highly recommend Jill.

Jill, represented me in a very long litigious divorce case lasting 7 years. I retained her as my 3rd lawyer after no progress and lots of hardship. She was very astute in picking up mid divorce. One of my most appreciated aspects of our professional relationship was her ability to converse in terms I could understand. She was receptive to my questions and forth coming with alternatives. Jill's office administrative staff was reliable and efficient. My case was different from most since it started in Pennsylvania . I moved to New York State and eventually moved to Florida. She never missed a beat. A true testament to her of practice of keeping her client up to date. I recommend her law office for your legal needs very highly.

Jill was referred to me by a family members friend. At my consultation meeting Jill made me feel very comfortable by explaining the process in laymen's terms and being very patient. I had a lot of questions that I wasn't sure how to ask, but with all of her experience Jill was able to answer my questions and give me useful advice and information for my situation. What I like most was that Jill was honest will me, very fairly priced and understood exactly what I wanted and needed when it came to the legal process. In the end I got a better outcome than I ever imagined due solely to Jill's experience and knowledge.

Jill made my divorce super easy and as painless as a divorce could be. She is extremely knowledgeable. Luckily, my divorce ended up being fairly straight forward, but there were times when it started to get a bit ugly and I felt very secure with Jill on my side during those stressful episodes!

I hired Jill for my divorce, revisions on child support, and revision with my custody order. Jill also provided me with a private investigator; who was also great; and was able to provide images and video of what I had already expected was happening. Jill spoke to the defendant’s lawyer, and my child’s therapist on a three-way call to advocate for my child. I feel Jill works really hard to help you through the process of understanding what can be expected in your case. She is very clear on what she will try to work towards on what she might be able to do for you. Jill listens to what you would like to have happen, but doesn’t make you false promises on what you will get it! I always mention Jill Trayer name, when I know someone is going through a divorce or custody. My child’s therapist even thought she was on top of her game, during the 3 way call, that he recommends her.

My divorce was dragging into the 3rd year when I decided I needed to change my attorney. A friend suggested the attorney she hired for her divorce...Jill. It was the best decision I made. Within a year of hiring Jill the divorce was finalized. Jill is honest. She will tell you if something you want is not winnable but she will also fight for you if something is worth fighting for. Several months after the divorce was finalized I had a medical issue. Jill reached out to check in on me. That one act of kindness shows what is special about Jill. I wish I had hired Jill right from the start.

I am an attorney, and was formerly married to an attorney. However, I did not want to represent myself in my divorce proceedings. I had no experience in the area of Pennsylvania family law, and needed help navigating the procedural and substantive aspects of the divorce. I also needed guidance in dealing with some very challenging interpersonal issues that had led me to end the marriage. Jill was referred to me by two individuals. One was a trusted friend and fellow attorney who went through a lengthy contested divorce with Jill as her attorney. The other was the marital counselor who my ex and I had seen together prior to our separation. Jill’s straightforward approach and honest application of the law to the facts immediately impressed me and put my mind at ease. It was clear that she was very experienced and effective. It also became apparent over time then she had the respect of colleagues, judges and court staff alike. Jill skillfully led the way throughout the divorce proceedings, providing me with confidence during difficult and protracted battles in the areas of child custody, child support, division of property, and alimony. After my ex terminated his representation and opted to represent himself instead, Jill handled his litigation tactics with toughness and professionalism. Even as my ex filed multiple petitions of questionable merit after the finalization of the divorce, Jill devoted significant time and attention to bring the issues to fair and just resolutions. On a personal level, I felt from day one that I could trust Jill with sensitive information and the difficult emotions that came with leaving my ex and seeking the divorce. Her warmth and approachability, along with her straight talk and no-nonsense approach, gave me assurance that I was in good hands. On a practical note, Jill was always mindful of my budgetary constraints, and was extremely fair in her billing of the work that she performed on my behalf. I wish that I could say that Jill is a miracle worker. Unfortunately, some aspects of my divorce did not end with my ideal result. However, ideal results do not exist in the world of divorce. Instead, Jill always gave me honest and realistic advice, given her thorough knowledge and experience working within the constraints of the law and the facts. Her assessments were invariably on target. I have the utmost respect for Jill as a fellow attorney. I have already recommended her several times for issues related to child custody and child support, and will continue to recommend her for family law issues without hesitation.
