I was represented by Attorney Jill for my assault case that took place in the apartment complex I used to live, which left me deeply traumatized. My experience with her was pleasant. She cares about her client very much AND kept my best interest throughout the process. Ms. Jill represented me in my case against the property management and the building owners. She demonstrated an extensive knowledge and is an expertise in this area of law. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.
