Judith Jenz was outstanding. I needed an attorney for child support modification since my ex-wife had been collecting support for my son, who no longer lived with her. I live over 2000 miles away, which made things a bit more complicated in my eyes. I found Judith on Google Maps and chose her mainly based on her close proximity to the courthouse. It just doesn't seem rational to pay an attorney his or her rates to drive back and forth to the courthouse. Reviews through the Google Maps app were limited, but promising. On the phone, she was pleasant--professional, yet friendly and sincere. My case was a bit different than most, and Judith mentioned a couple details that were not like anything she had encountered before. What gave me comfort was that she had a logical plan, which included some simple strategies to minimize cost without compromising effectiveness. Where the shock came in was that it all panned out just as she intended. She saved me thousands compared to what I have experienced with other attorneys and thousands more after successfully eliminating my support obligations. She gave great advice all along the journey, and stayed true to her word the whole way through. After this experience, I wouldn't even think about choosing another attorney. She's an honest win in my book!

Judi Jenz was so kind, positive, reassuring, honest and very patient. I felt very overwhelmed and confused, Judi calmed me down and took away my fears and tears. Judi Jenz is a great listener, paid careful attention to my issues and personal details. I often called, e-mailed and sent messages to Judi, her response was incredible. I never felt it was about money , the time that she spent with me was truly appreciated. I would never have walked away feeling so relieved , relaxed and confident if it wasn't for Judi. My life has changed, I am forever Grateful and Thankful for the Expert Council and Personalized attention to every Detail. I Highly Recommend Judi, her kind, calm and enjoyable out look has been inspiring. Judi is Outstanding!!!

Ms. Jenz represented me in my divorce and I could not have been happier with her representation. When I would get upset, she kept things calm. She was realistic and helped me to stay grounded and to see the whole picture. She was always extremely professional. I strongly recommend Judith.

I consulted a couple times before hiring Ms. Jenz to redo my will and complete other legal affairs after my husband's passing. She was always very sensitive to my needs and helped me resolve various issues. I am confident everything was done well at a fair rate.

Attorney Judith Jenz worked hard to make my divorce happen smoothly & quickly. What could’ve been drawn out for months took only 1 summer because she knew how to communicate with us to make the best possible divorce settlement for not only myself & ex husband but for our son. Judith Jenz made this a very humane experience. I highly recommend her legal expertise.

I had consulted with several attorneys over the course of a few months and could not find a good fit for me. I couldn't help feeling like I was being scrutinized as a worthy client. After a bit of research and narrowing down the qualities I had hoped to find in my attorney, I contacted Judi because of her excellent credentials. I instantly felt at ease. Not only is she extremely professional and knowledgeable of the law, she is also personable and calming. Judi was able to keep me focused on exactly what was needed, particularly when things became emotionally charged or I started to panic. Going through a divorce is scary and full of uncertainty, but when I needed guidance or a little reassurance, Judi would answer my call or email with just the right response to calm the anxiety. She had a strategy, she was always prepared and thorough, and she made sure that I left understanding the value or risk of every decision made. I always felt heard and protected. This process has taken a year and Judi has been my advocate throughout all of it. I am satisfied with the outcome and am grateful to have had her on my team.

Judith was so great in handling my divorce that I didn't even realize my divorce had been finalized until weeks later even though she had provided me the final disposition...I guess it should've been evident but I don't do this often and was thinking I would be in court at least once to finalize the divorce! She had me at ease throughout our time together and she handled my divorce effortlessly ~

Judy, recently represented me in a divorce. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through the same situation. Unlike other lawyers she goes out of her way to make sure you are not spending money and time on issues or items that do not make sense. She is fair, understanding and a great listener. She is very patient and kind in dealing with tough situations. She also does a great job giving you reasonable options and is one of the nicest lawyers I ever met. She was very professional and tough when she needed to be and it was a good balance to have in dealing with a divorce and other lawyer.
