Reviews for Jacqueline
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I cannot say enough good things about my divorce lawyer, Jackie Harounian. I got everything that was important to me in my case, and I only compromised on issues after getting a full explanation from Jackie. My divorce is now over, and I survived, as did my children. My ex and I are actually on better terms. I am so glad I listened to Jackie's advice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
She is very knowledgable in her field and gave me very good advice in my case.
Jackie is the most special kind of lawyer you can find. She is so responsive and so understanding. Besides the fact that she gets back to you right away, she is extremely knowledgeable and can take on the best opposing attorneys. Jackie, with her people skills and experience, can handle anything and anyone. She is honest with you and always on your side. I can't say enough good things about her and her staff. Thank you, Jackie!
I recommend this lawyer very highly. She is compassionate and professional and a partner in her firm. She was prepared for every court appearance, and I always felt I was in good hands. My case was very frustrating and took over two years, but Jackie always was there for me. I feel I was lucky to have her representing me, and even my husband said he wish he had my lawyer!
Jackie Harounian lost her license to practice law in 2016. She claims it was due to a family matter but facts are the facts. Losing your license is a pretty severe disciplinary action. I would stay away from her and this firm.
