Jackson Spencer Law

Jennifer and her crew at Jackson Spencer Law recently provided me with excellent legal representation in my transition away from my former employer. Her counsel was both sympathetic towards me, and yet firm and assertive with the opposition. She was able to significantly increase the value of the severance package that was offered by my former employer, while avoiding the need for an invasive, lengthy, and expensive jury trial. She has my highest recommendation. — MJA
