Hired Attorney Jack W. Abel

Jack was my divorce attorney almost 20 years ago. He provided excellent guidance along the way and kept me focused on the important issues instead of dwelling on the background noise. As a father working to get custody of my children, his advice was spot on and led to a successful outcome. When the case was re-opened 3 years later, Jack guided me through a custody trial, which again had a successful outcome. Could not recommend Jack more highly.

Hired Attorney Jack W. Abel

I have known Jack Abel for over 20 years. He was my divorce attorney. From the beginning, I felt that I could trust him. He has the skill to explain options in plain English and then helped me make the decisions that were right for my situation. {para}My current husband and I continue to call on Jack for a variety of legal advice. We have never been disappointed with the results. Jack's capable ability as an attorney is only surpassed by his integrity and character. We highly recommend Jack Abel

Jack's demeanor and substantial knowledge was just what I needed to keep my divorce negotiation on track without the unnecessary and costly theatrics that can become part of winding things up, particularly with kids. When the other side attempted one form of stupidity or another to gum things up, I never worried because Jack simply called it what it was without fanfare and derailed it. He is the kind of person that gets you to the finish line.

Life can throw difficult, sometimes unexpected serious events very suddenly at you. Be it a marriage ending, health problems, financial dilemmas, etc. you seek out the best professional capable person you can to help find some sort of solution for whatever it is. Jack Abel was just that person for my situation. I have the utmost respect and gratitude to him and his staff for their handling of my particular case.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Jack Abel for several years. Jack is compassionate but plays hardball in the courtroom. He is very professional and is well liked by his peers. He is also reasonable. Jack worked with me on the terms of my divorce from my former husband and made sure I was given a good settlement. I am happy to say that I was able to keep my house and my son with me. I really appreciated all the help and guidance Jack afforded me. Highly recommended.
