Jennifer is an outstanding attorney that consistently achieves positive results for her clients. She helped me successfully navigate a very challenging divorce, support and complex custody situation, while always maintaining what was in the best interest of my children. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a tireless work ethic. If you are in need of a results driven attorney, I would highly recommend Jennifer and her firm.

Jennifer helped my husband and I get his 2 kids out of a very bad situation theoughout the custody process and after a 2 day trial! Exhausting! However she is completely supportive and straight forward giving that tough love you sometimes need. She guides you in the exact direction you need to be. If you choose her...listen to her advise as you are in excellent hands. We couldn’t be happier with the results. These kids can now be closer to their loving father & better their futures!

Jennifer is a fantastic lawyer! Her experience and knowledge led me through a difficult child custody trial, which we ultimately won. Had it not been her strong will and ability to speak hard truths, we would have never gotten the desired outcome and my child would still be in danger. The whole process was (and will continue to be) a challenge, but it was worth it in the end. I am confident that with Jennifer's tenacity and skill we will continue to succeed.

I’ve been using Ms. Vanasdale for fifteen years and by far the best lawyer that I have ever trusted and depended on for my legal issues. The last problem I had with a large corporation. I run a small business, and this company used predatory agreement practices. After trying to negotiate reasonably, we ended up at an arbitration hearing. She won the case in a very impressive fashion. I would recommend Ms. Vanasdale to anyone that needs a great lawyer.

I highly recommend Jennifer as a lawyer and her law office! Jennifer has helped me in various legal matters, to include forming my business, litigating and winning a breach of contract dispute and now with my complex divorce and related custody and support matters. While divorce is a very hard process to go through personally and for families, do not give up! Many times I wanted to give up and walk away due to the stress and anxiety of the legal process. Jennifer would always remind me to le

Child custody issues define extreme stress. Finding an attorney who will provide you with the best service is equally as stressful. I found JENNIFER Vanasdale through a personal friends daughter who is an attorney for nationwide insurance. JENNIFER was the only one that she would recommend. We have all heard of child custody issues. However, living through it is quite another matter. JENNIFER took us through the highs and lows step-by-step with confidence reassurance expertise and compassion.

I am the chairperson of an organization that needed some legal advice. Jennifer’s expertise and knowledge about nonprofit organizations helped us to find a quick solution to our situation. She worked tirelessly to make sure that we were able to have our annual convention, even working during vacation and handling our overnighted documents immediately to make sure we got paperwork submitted as quickly as possible. She definitely goes above and beyond for her clients!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
