Absolutely 100% do not recommend Jennifer Berger. I hired her for a custody “battle” with my child’s dad. It was a decently easy case with only one small disagreement between the respondent, who did not have an attorney, and I. Jennifer not only responded better to the respondent than she did to me, but also went against the plan we had made prior to the hearing without discussing the change with me. The change that she decided to make benefited the respondent, not me. As soon as the judge said in front of all of us that she will grant what I was asking for, Jennifer immediately changed the plan to benefit the other party. She cares about money and money only. Stay away!
Took about $6k of my money from August 2021 til I fired her in August 2022 because she neglected to tell me-amongst other things she didn't do-I had a hearing coming up. Told me at 4:30 on a Monday(when I went to pay her)that court for the next day(Tuesday)was cancelled. In reality-court was scheduled for that Wednesday. There was a Notice Of Hearing that she had forgotten to send me prior to that Monday. When she realized I was firing her-then she started sending me invoices with August dates on them showing that she had gone all the way back(in August)to May or June and billed me in August for emails she apparently just decided to go back and read as she had not billed me for these emails prior. How are you supposed to know what's going on with my case let alone inform me that I have a hearing coming up when you're not even reading any of the emails that I'm sending in a timely manner??? I had people telling me all spring to fire her for numerous things she was saying and/or doing that showed she had absolutely zero clue what was going on with my case-no matter how informed I kept her. Oh but now she's turning me over to collections. When I've emailed her asking exactly what she did for my case-she can't give me a response other than to tell me she's turned me into collections. Now let another attorney-that is also part of the good ol boys and girls system-come in and say that I'm trying to extort money from her. Who is really extorting money from who??? UPDATE....March 2024.....since the review was written-things have continued to go downhill for the person I hired Ms. Berger to protect(a 2nd individual) One thing that has occurred is the 3rd individual(I hired Ms. Berger to offer protection from for the 2nd individual)the 3rd individual had a domestic abuse case regarding the individual I hired Ms. Berger to protect. However all this woman wants is her money. So much for this woman looking out for domestic violence victims......
Jennifer is very knowledgeable and is spot-on with judgement of character. She did an amazing job with my divorce settlement and genuinely seems to look out for the best interest of her client and their children. I've gone back to her a couple of times for support modifications and would recommend her to anyone.
Jennifer Berger absolutely changed my life. She gave me strength when I was weak, and she ALWAYS went above and beyond. She believes in what she does and that is more than I can say for most people in the world today... and her support person Dee is an angel, too! Always willing to lend an ear. If you are in need of the best of the best, Jennifer Berger is your gal! As far as some people saying that her fees are high, just remember... you get what you pay for.???? I would rather always want her beside, me than against me.
Do not go to her. This divorce attorney/ family law attorney will say she will work with you, but will make you pay ridiculous fees for EVERY SINGLE email correspondence...fees you wouldn’t even imagine...$250.00/ hour...$75.00 here, $75.00 there...also have heard of people around the area that they have had to fire her as their attorney...
