I hired Jennifer Jackman to represent me in a complex and emotionally draining custody modification case. From our first meeting, her deep understanding of the Family Court system was evident. She specifically referenced her five years working for the City's Child Welfare Agency in the Bronx, and that insider perspective was invaluable. She knew exactly how to present our case to the judge and anticipate the arguments from the other side. Her filings were thorough, and in court, she was both assertive and compassionate, which made a difficult process feel more manageable. We achieved a significantly better parenting time arrangement than I had hoped for. The one area where I sometimes felt a bit in the dark was communication; during particularly busy weeks, responses to non-urgent emails could take a couple of days. However, when it mattered, she was always reachable. Her billing was fair and transparent for New York City, though the overall cost was substantial—as expected for this level of expertise. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone needing a fierce and knowledgeable family law attorney who has seen the system from the inside out.
