Reviews

Jenny knows the law, will stand up for you when confronted with strong-arm tactics but will also negotiate when a deal is possible, listens to you but will also give you frank advice. During three years of a contentious divorce, I saw Jenny deal effectively with four different attorneys on the other side, all with very different styles. She makes herself available when you need her and is always well prepared for mediation, a hearing, or trial. But she’s also efficient, getting things done quickly, being careful about the money you, her client, are paying. You’re left wondering where she finds the time to prepare as she does, but I see from the other reviews that she consistently provides this level of service. Divorce is hard in so many ways. You want an attorney who is making the process easier, not more difficult. Jenny will work with you to figure out what things matter, what things not so much, and help you achieve an outcome you’re satisfied with.

I can’t recommend Jenny enough. She came recommended from a friend as one of the best and most experienced family attorneys in the Boston area. I’m so thankful to her for all of her help and the successful outcome with my divorce. She’s empathetic, knowledgeable, fair and tenacious. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer and ally to guide me through a difficult process that lasted over a year.

I would highly recommend Jenny for your legal needs. She is professional, empathic, and knows the law. She’ll help you navigate through what can be scary uncharted territory, setting expectations for outcomes, and fighting for your fair share.

I highly recommend Jenny Clapp as a top family attorney. She has been representing me for about 5 years now. During that time, she has demonstrated not only her strong legal knowledge, but also her ability to adapt to my unique international situation. She has shown that she is capable of thinking outside the box to tackle any issue that is sent her way. Her work ethics combined with her genuine caring of my situation have been instrumental in ensuring that she obtains the best results for me and my family. I could not have asked for a better ally to traverse a difficult situation and obtain great results.

Jenny was a huge support to me throughout my divorce. She was funny and kind but also showed tremendous strength and poise in our 4 way meetings and court appearance. This was challenging given the demeanor of the other participants, but Jenny never let that change her professionalism. She provided good advice in all phases of the process and continues to be a resource as needed.

Jennifer was recommended to me three years ago when I was suddenly and unexpectedly involved in a divorce that required me to seek legal representation. Jennifer came “highly recommended” as an exceptional practitioner of family law through a close family friend who is also a lawyer with extensive legal experience in the Greater Boston area. Having both legal and social work experience, Jennifer showed professionalism, responsiveness, competence, and compassion throughout the divorce process. Jennifer was regularly able to put me at ease during what was a stressful and unhappy event. In the three years since, whenever I have needed Jennifer’s help with issues surrounding my divorce agreement she has continued to provide the same level of fantastic service with all the professionalism, responsiveness, competence, and compassion as she has from the beginning. As far as I am concerned, Jennifer Clapp will always be the person I turn to for any of my family law needs.

As a woman in my 40s with a career and college-aged children, I feared the process of a prenuptial agreement that my now current (then future) husband requested, would be a difficult and uncomfortable task. The idea of discussing what happens if we were to divorce sounded so distasteful and irrelevant since we were in love. But Jenny walked me through it every step of the way, showing me that ​we could negotiate without being confrontational, and, that by adding certain provisions into the prenuptial agreement it would protect both my husband and me. She demonstrated that entering into prenuptial agreement it was the responsible thing to do for both of us. Were there moments of discomfort? Of course! But she alleviated 99% of it. She also remains a valuable resource after we married for referrals or questions. Five out of five stars. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend hiring Jenny Clapp to represent you. She is professional, ethical, honest, direct, passionate, compassionate, knowledgeable, respectful, collaborative, trustworthy, peer-respected and fair. Jenny represented me in my divorce, and, in a complicated modification trial. I value Jenny's advice and I value the way she listens to the things that are important to me. She has a unique way of combining her legal advice with my goals to formulate a winning strategy. There has not been a single time in my partnership with Jenny that I’ve second guessed my decision to have her represent me...not one.

I have used Jennifer for both my divorce and subsequent prenup. I recommend her to anyone. She is thorough and caring. She was creative in solving seemingly unsolvable issues. I found her replies prompt and thoughtful. And she kept me in line :)

Jennifer Clapp was the mediator for my divorce. I found her style and work ethic horrible for the following reasons: - in the initial draft she omitted several agreements that took my ex and I hours to come to. - when I identified one and presented it to her she refused to review her notes and told me I could do so. I refused as that was what we paid her for - she finally agreed to review when I found another glaring omission - Upon her review she found additional omissions - throughout the process Jennifer didn't apologize or try to explain, just said that I made her go through her notes with a fine tooth comb - while leaving important agreements out Jennifer felt it was appropriate to add sections that my ex and I did not discuss - Jennifer continued to try to have one of the divorce attorneys make all required changes - I refused as that is what we paid her for - there were typos in the agreement. A simple spell check would have corrected Working with Jennifer made a horrible experience even worse.
