What Clients Say
“Jill is an incredible find in an attorney. She combines a deep knowledge of the law with sound judgment, much-needed compassion and the highest ethical standards. Jill’s commitment and dedication to her clients is unsurpassed. We practiced law together early in our careers and, when I needed help in the family law area, I hired her. Jill has a unique ability to see the big picture and she seeks to find cost-effective, pragmatic solutions. I trust her without reservation to look after the interests of all of her clients and their children, as she did for me and my children.”
“While the end of a marriage is an incredibly difficult time, the process of divorce doesn’t have to make it worse. Even though my divorce started at a time of crisis in the marriage, and my ex-husband and I were very angry and upset, we decided to commit to a collaborative divorce process for the sake of our children. Through that process I obtained a result with creative solutions that are simply not available in an adversarial Court process. I cannot thank Jill enough for her professionalism, advocacy and expertise in getting me and my children an outcome that far exceeded any expectations and that allowed me to move on with dignity and grace.”
“When my marriage ended, I was sure of only two things: I wanted to protect my two young boys from the stress and conflict of separation and preserve as much of my financial assets as possible. I spent time researching the common types of divorce and interviewing close to a dozen attorneys. Rather than experience the emotional and financial costs of litigation or work with a mediator who would not offer legal advice one way or the other, I chose to work with collaborative attorney Jill Bicks. Jill was far and away the best choice for my family. Her calm, empathetic approach maintained a supportive, rational atmosphere, even in high-conflict situations. This not only reduced the emotional and psychological impact for all involved, but also helped me reduce the time and costs associated with the separation. Jill empowered me and helped me heal by providing the best legal representation through education, transparency and passionate advocacy on my behalf. I strongly recommend Jill for her professionalism, expertise and ability to deliver results.”
“My case has been very difficult. You expertly guided me through the ups and downs and always had my best interests at heart. You were strategic and able to see how we could get to the end game in a murky mess. You were always well prepared, patiently answered my questions and could explain things to me in laymen’s terms when they were unclear. I knew you were in my corner and I that I could trust you, especially in matters involving children.“
