Phil Su has been my attorney for many years, he was referred to me by multiple different people and has since represented me on a few different cases and has gotten me favorable resolutions on all. I always know i’m in good hands with him representing me!

Puget Law Group is a great group of lawyers. All very responsible, professional, and communicative. I recommend their services 100%!

PLG is the best! As another attorney, I have great respect for them. Very professional and qualified. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a Criminal Defense attorney in the area.

I had the pleasure working with the most professional Law Firm in Pierce County. I personally worked with Gina Buskirk who not only answered the thousands of question’s I had for her but also helped my wife and I understand the legal system. She was up front with everything and broke down every legal term and the court process in general. I understood what was going on throughout the whole process and was never left confused. Gina attended every meeting at the court and when she could not she had her colleagues attend. Thank you Jay as well! She worked very hard on my case and I am extremely grateful for them. I got the best results that I hoped for and my family has return to normal. I truly think if it was not for Puget Law I would have been lost in this process. I strongly recommend their services to anyone who is in need of legal assistance.

Jennifer was referred to me by a friend after an poor experience with another attorney which had put me in an unfortunate position. She helped me dig out and rewrite my parenting plan in a manner that was best for my children. She was very informative and straight forward and helped me stay calm when things were not going as they should in my case. She quickly responded to my emails and answered my questions even when I had already asked them multiple times until i fully understood the process. If it had not been for Jennifer I would have been stuck with a parenting plan that would not have worked well for my children or allowed me to move on with my life. I highly recommend her.

Jennifer guided me safely through a very arduous divorce. Pick the most difficult person you know, multiple that by ten, and what you get is opposing counsel in my divorce. Delay tactics, excuses, empty promises, outrageous demands, explanations that made no sense, etc. seemed to be weekly occurrences from that camp … but Jennifer knew how to handle it all. Jennifer kept a cool head, dealt effectively with the other side, knew the law, and kept me focused on what really mattered. She was always prepared, always knew what we needed to do next, and guided me safely through to a very equitable resolution. Greatly relieved and greatly appreciative.

Jen was a great advocate for me in my divorce proceedings. She was also compassionate and empathetic when needed. Our proceedings lasted nearly a year and Jen was always available, patient and knowledgeable in a variety of circumstances. I appreciated her even keeled counsel and encouragement in a very tough time. Once again if you need a fierce unblinking advocate, I highly recommend Jen Forquer.

Jen was caring and searched extensively through the facts to make sure there were no surprises at court. Unfortunately, this meticulous and defensive approach proved very ineffective against the adversarial opposing attorney. Way too much time and costs were spent in defense to made up claims with no supporting documentation. In the first month I spent more than $15K. This was a shocker to me and it repeated one more time in preparation for the single motion that was contested. It's no fun to lose, but it was even tougher having spent lots of money only to realize the points that we spent so much time and money in, did not matter to the judge in the end. I wish there was more forward thinking versus defensive/reactive strategy applied in my case.

Everything that the other reviewers have written is 100% true. Jennifer is professional, straightforward, and extremely knowledgeable. From my divorce experience I now know that family law is as much about managing emotions as it is about the law. Having someone know this, anticipate it, and manage it in a client, as well as manage the nuts and bolts of ending a marriage, with class, with the least amount of conflict, takes a person with great capacity and depth. Jennifer demonstrated all of these skills, in spades.

I'm sorry you're reading this review since it means you are probably experiencing a lot of sadness and disruption. Take heart, you're reading about an excellent lawyer. Jen Forquer represented me in my divorce. I found her to be knowledgeable; organized; and, determined. Frankly, I did not select Jen due to any particular reasoned analysis, but stumbled upon her partner in an effort to hire counsel with a proven track record of expeditiously dealing with the attorney my wife hired some time prior to serving me with a complaint. My original attorney was busy with a number of pressing matters, so her partner Jen handled my case as she had greater availability at that moment and could readily address what should have been a routine dissolution finished in a matter of a few months. Still stunned by the failure of my marriage of almost three decades, I was sleep-walking through life at that moment and agreed to give Jen principal responsibility for my case without a lot of thought. I got very lucky because in hindsight it was the best decision I made during this entire dissolution travail. Jen put a plan in place to move the matter along with minimal expenditure, but my spouse articulated a desire to battle over every aspect of the case and engaged new counsel in an express effort to increase the acrimony and length of the proceedings. Jen transitioned seamlessly from what should have been a low intensity matter of property distribution to a prolonged battle over virtually every feature of the case. Motion after motion was required to move the litigation along which ultimately culminated in a trial exceeding a week. Jen kept me informed of what was happening through regular emails and calls. She chewed into her personal time to accommodate my chaotic existence and keep me on track. I once was a trial lawyer myself and have seen all types of counsel in both trial and appellate practice. Jen is as good as any I've seen. She is prepared and confident in her presentation. Her pleadings and briefs are to the point and well-reasoned. The results exceeded my expectations. She earned my utmost confidence and trust. In my opinion, you will not find a better attorney than Jen Forquer to represent you in a family law matter.

There is no perfect post-divorce-with-children scenario. It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is a learning curve to co-parenting which can be riff with challenges. When guided by a lawyer who genuinely cares, the parties will ultimately thrive. I base this on my 3+ years experience as a client with superb [Seattle] family lawyer, Jennifer Forquer. I have always been able to rely on her to be engaged and understanding of the unique personal dynamics of our high conflict case, which was further complicated by international elements. Without fail, she prioritized the long-term best interests of our children, and she thought through what could bring us a better future. Jennifer's strength as a lawyer is that she will tenaciously and constructively strive for what is best for the family. She has a genuine aim to proactively help plan the financial dimensions and authentically reduce the potential emotional acrimony over the long haul. I value that Jennifer is an active listener with a steel-trap mind for details, extensive acumen of the relevant law, resourceful, and able to pull together a big picture view of what is fair-minded and practical. Whenever challenges arose, Jennifer remained unflappable, ethical, non-judgmental, and most-importantly reliably solutions-minded. Along the way she has offered me choices. She made herself directly available to communicate about different options I had and what the immediate and long-term horizon ramifications might be. Consistently over time, Jennifer has proven not to be your stereotypical lawyer. The highest praise I can give is that she has been a consummate professional, but also a teacher and a friend. She has championed the stability and welfare of our family collectively and as individuals. By her example, she has taught me to be a better communicator. The knock-on benefits are that our family is able to move forward with our lives in a positive way. Thank you, Jennifer! To all future clients who may be fortunate enough to have Jennifer representing you, without hesitation I know that she will have your back.
