“Jennie Wingad exceeded my expectations and I can’t say enough good things about Jennie and her staff. After my divorce was final, she followed up several months later and asked if my ex husband was in compliance with the court order, which he wasn’t. She argued my case on my behalf and the commissioner found him in contempt and even ordered him to pay my attorney fees that we requested as a result.”

“Jennie was exactly who I needed to navigate my divorce. She is knowledgeable, responsive, a great listener and fought for me when I felt like I didn't have anyone in my corner. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.”

“I had a high-conflict divorce case that required delicate care and Jennie more than delivered. Emotions were high and so much was at stake from assets to custody, Jennie not only provided thorough and excellent counsel, but she was also very compassionate and took my opinions and values into consideration. I picked Jennie because of the intelligence, empathy, candor, and sense of urgency she displayed in our initial phone call; all these qualities were again validated during the entire divorce process.”
