Hired Attorney Jill I. Frieders

Jill Frieders has my highest recommendation. If you are going through a divorce, you definitely need Ms. Frieders. She has been a true professional throughout my divorce, even when the opposing attorney was not. She helped me properly navigate the mine-field of divorce that I wish upon no one. Ms. Frieders was extremely clear and straight forward. She was always well prepared and brilliantly argued my case in court. She was very clear in explaining the various steps going through this seemingly never ending process. Most importantly she helped me maintain my sanity in dealing with an ever-growing bitter, angry, and hostile ex-wife. If you are looking for well-rounded, driven, and meticulous legal assistance, Jill is your person! You definitely want Jill on your side. She is a highly competent family law attorney and offers wise counsel. She is a rare find.

Ms Frieders and her legal team have been amazing! I've been involved in a complicated and lengthy unexpected custody battle, which has included numerous court hearings, evidentury trial, and his appeal, etc. Ms. Frieders is personable, extremely knowledgeable, and quick to respond to my questions and the other Atty's communications. She tries to keep costs down. Her legal team has been so helpful and are also knowledgeable and easy to get along with. I'm very satisfied with her representation!

Hired Attorney Jill I. Frieders

Jill was recommended by a co-worker of my father. My case was bizarre and had many large issues that needed to be dealt with in court. Jill demonstrated an amazing amount of knowledge about every little detail of family law and how it related to my case. She also had the ability to be very honest and straight forward with her ideas on how to proceed in a positive way. If any of my friends or family were going through a tough divorce, I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Frieders!

Great lawyer with unbelievable knowledge in her field. She helped me with a divorce and custody dispute. She spoke her mind and pulled no punches while communicating with me, glad I have thick skin. She was always up to date on my case and knew what was happening and that gave me a sense of relief to know that she was looking out for my interests. Overall costs were kept low. When we would meet it was all business and no sidetrack talking. Wonderful person!! Thanks

Very confident to handle any legal situation that the client would have. Jill's knowledge of the legal system is superb. Jill is stern and stands strong on her feet when it comes to challenging attorneys or standing up to what she knows is the Law. I have referred Jill numerous times.

She came to court one day even being very ill. She saved my grandson's life from a road that would have been to nowhere but a dead end.
