I am currently involved in an active civil lawsuit against this attorney for legal malpractice,…read morefraudulent inducement, professional negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. I retained her specifically to pursue a change of venue and related motions. From the beginning, she assured me that a change of venue was possible and charged me a substantial amount for what she described as research and preparation related to that issue. Despite those assurances and the fees I paid, the work was not carried out as represented. There were repeated delays, changes in direction and a lack of follow-through on key actions I hired her to perform. Without my knowledge or consent, she consulted with other attorneys I had prior relationships with and billed me thousands of dollars for those communications. I was also billed for work that did not advance my case in a meaningful way. Communication was inconsistent, and at times unprofessional. I experienced conduct that did not reflect the level of professionalism or focus I expected from legal counsel handling a serious matter. Overall, I paid a massive amount of money based on specific representations about what would be done, and those expectations were not met. Given my experience, I would strongly caution others to carefully evaluate representation, ask detailed questions about billing and strategy, and ensure clear expectations are documented before proceeding.

Jill's great. In a word to describe her as an attorney: INTEGRITY…read more My wife and I scheduled a consultation with her to discuss changing an existing parenting plan for my wife and my "step" kids. In the past my wife's been represented by a well known high priced Portland lawyer who in my opinion, took advantage of my wife and her family by running up years worth of legal services because they could as emotions ran high as they often do in divorce. Sadly the legal services bill didn't match the results and ended up being a lot of wasted money (and emotions). So in seeking new representation it was important to me that we found with someone I trusted who wasn't going to do this again. We needed someone we could trust. Like a needle in a haystack, we found J-I-Double hockey stick. After she spend 45 minutes tentatively listening to the details of our circumstance, she offered sound both legal and personal advice giving us clear, concise direction and feedback. But what leads me to write this review is because at the point in the conversation where other lawyers would have sought a retainer (that I was perfectly willing to pay), Jill's focus wasn't on that and instead of collecting a $5k retainer and doing it for us (IDK what her real retainer is for the record) and offered the guidance on what we needed to do and how she suggested going about it. Instead of taking a retainer she just said to come back for consultation as needed and we'll pay on that basis. This is why I use the word INTEGRITY to describe Jill as an attorney. This is why you should pay no attention to Yelp reviewer Dirk A. who by the way sounds like an A....... anyway, Jill's great and you can put your faith and trust in her.
