Jennifer is an outstanding lawyer! She took the time to listen to everything I had to say, and always provided clear next steps and sound advice. She is knowledgeable, extremely organized, ethical, and has a strong and confident demeanor. I am so glad she was in my corner!

Jen couldn't have done a better job!!! We didn't have much time until the trial and she put her all into the case and got the job done CORRECTLY! She is extremely trustworthy and a super hard worker (and Judges can tell)! Will use her for anything I need in the future! Not only did she fight for me but we now have a lifelong friendship!

Jennifer was extremely personable and thorough from my first consultation. I was referred through friend to her firm and I have referred others to her. Jennifer is very accessible, knowledgeable, understanding and the staff at the firm is amazing. Jennifer and her staff made the difficult time in my life much easier and I felt very supported.

If you are looking for a firm to represent you with honesty, dignity, efficiency and objectivity, then these gals are the best. The office staff, paralegals and attorneys have been generous, quick to respond and attentive to details. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing family law representation. I asked for her to be a "bulldog" in our initial consultation and she has been as such, but in the most professional manner and in a way that represents my family the best. I'm highly, highly grateful for her (their) work and look forward to seeing my case come to a close with favorable results.

I have never felt so cared for and experienced such a high level of communication as I have with Jennifer Payne. She was very clear in all of her explanations and was very prompt on keeping me up to date on everything as it happened. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and level of compassion are unparalleled! I would absolutely recommend her a hundred times over to anyone who is looking for someone to represent them, she is by far one of the greatest attorneys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with!
