FIRM OVERVIEW

GET RESULTS:

The firm’s legal services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, always with the client’s end goals in mind.  This is a results-oriented law firm.  To obtain fair and just results, there is no substitute for thorough preparation.  A satisfactory resolution of your family law issues is our goal, and can often be achieved expeditiously and less expensively through negotiation.  However, preparing for the possibility of trial from the beginning of the case by thorough preparation is the best way to ensure a fair settlement.

When settlement on favorable terms is not possible, cases are taken to trial.    Ms. Jentzen has successful trial experience in the areas of domestic violence, contested custody matters and all areas of divorce and dissolution, including distribution of assets, spousal support, retirement benefits and awards of attorney fees.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

As an advocate, Ms. Jentzen strives for a healthy balance between smart negotiation and strong advocacy, while working toward each client’s particular goals.  The firm is committed to providing its clients with the highest quality legal services at competitive rates, while also providing the personal attention our clients deserve. 

The firm’s most important asset is its’ clients, and so we work in partnership with them to accomplish their specific legal objectives.  We understand that divorce and other family law issues often cause financial havoc for a family, with expenses being incurred for attorneys fees and other experts, and sometimes ongoing expenses for two residences post-separation.  With these difficult financial realities in mind, we strive to resolve your legal issues effectively in the most efficient manner so that your family may preserve a larger share of the assets, rather than exhausting them on litigation expenses.
 
COMMUNICATION IS KEY:

Quality legal representation is provided to clients with excellent personal service. The law office of Lisa D. Jentzen ensures that communication with clients is always prompt and professional.  Your phone calls and emails are given priority so that you stay fully informed regarding any developments in your legal matter.  Clients receive copies of all documents pertaining to their case.  Candid, open communication between attorney and client takes place as we work together toward meeting the client’s goals. 

MEDIATION – A SMART ALTERNATIVE TO LITIGATION:

Some people experiencing family law issues choose to mediate rather than litigate their disputes.  However, a great many people are unaware that an alternative to litigating divorce or custody issues is available to them. 

Mediation is generally faster, less expensive and less stressful than litigation.  Mediation allows the parties to maintain full control of the final outcome, their settlement.  Many couples find this preferable to having a judge who doesn’t know them make far-reaching decisions that will affect every area of their lives.  Spouses working with a mediator can often resolve their entire dispute in a handful of sessions, without the risk, expense and emotional trauma that often accompanies litigated matters. 

Ms. Jentzen is an experienced mediator and can provide quality mediation services to those clients wishing to resolve their disputes privately and economically by way of confidential, dignified negotiation rather than emotional, expensive litigation in the public courthouse.  Please feel free to contact us to discuss whether mediation is right for you.
