- FVFrankie VictoriaAug 11, 20255.0I don’t know where to start… Jill and Tania made the divorce so much easier. Through the rough times, I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Thank you for helping me start a new chapter in my life, guiding me through the divorce, and assisting with selling my old home and purchasing a new one.
- LLLauren LeeJan 31, 20255.0Jill Brakeman was wonderful. Divorce is never pleasant, but mediation made the process so much easier. Jill and her assistant, Tania, were beyond helpful. My ex-husband and I started what should have been a relatively straightforward and amicable mediation process. However, things became more complicated than necessary due to the involvement of a family member. Jill remained professional despite difficulties that dragged the process out longer than it should have been. She even explained things again and again... And again, when needed - all without losing her composure. I cannot recommend her office highly enough. Jill and Tania are not only competent professionals, but also lovely, compassionate people.

- JKJames KenyonJan 30, 20225.0Jill was phenomenal in guiding us through our refinance, including helping to resolve a complicated and messy situation with my ex-wife. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.
