Jennifer and her staff were amazing! Rebecca worked so well with us and made what could have been a painful and protracted prenuptial negotiation process into a short and completely painless document exchange. Her advice was really sound and I feel very protected. While I hope I don't need to make the call, if I did need to activate the prenup, I would only call Jenn McCaskill!! She is brilliant and tenacious --- She will get the job done.

Jen and her staff were amazing and I highly recommend them, particularly if your divorce involves a difficult spouse. Professional, thorough and detailed from beginning to end. The process was difficult and Jen and Seth made it tolerable and successful. They do not disappoint!

Divorce is never pleasant, but Jen and her amazing staff made me feel in control of what was going on in my life. They were there every step if the way to advise me and help me through my divorce.

I was in the process of a messy divorce and I wasn’t happy with my first choice of lawyer. Thankfully, I retained Jennifer and she was exactly what I needed. I wanted someone who could relay all my personal, yet logical issues. Jennifer was spot on! If you’re looking for someone who is a bit unconventional but ALWAYS has your best interest (and your back) look no further!

No one ever wants to go through a divorce, but if you are faced with that obstacle, look no further than Jennifer and her firm! I originally had Seth as my lawyer who made me feel comfortable and at ease. When he left the firm, Cadence became my lawyer and let me tell you, she is something out of left field! From start to finish Cadence was beyond fantastic!!! Lots of open communication, answered anything I needed within 48 hours (unless it was the weekend), and actually cared about how I was doing. From the moment I sat in their office I knew they were going to represent me. Jennifer, Cadence and anyone at the firm are the best of the best! Don't get it twisted though, for caring lawyers, they are cut throat! Do not play around with these women, they are about their business!!!! Thank you again Cadence and Jennifer. You will ALWAYS be high recommended!!!

Julie worked on my case. She kept me informed every single step of the way. She was knowledgeable in every way answering what I felt were silly questions but she reassured me through the entire process that we'd get there. I never felt more comfortable entering the toughest part of my life yet she made it feel like I wasn't going through it alone. I couldn't appreciate Julie enough for help and confidence she gave. I am forever grateful.

Apologies for the late review! Jennifer's office was exceptional with my situation. Cadence primarily worked with me during my divorce. I'm happily living my life with split custody of my two boys. Cadence fought for what was fair and just for my specific situation. I highly recommend The Office of Jennifer J. McCaskill for any legal advice and support.

Cadence was my attorney and I couldn't be happier with her knowledge and transparency while navigating me through this difficult process. The advice and guidance that I received was always in line with what I initially wanted to accomplish while keeping me sane. She took and made time to speak to me around my schedule and understood what my priorities were. Highly recommend.

First let me say the experience was 5 plus stars. Super professional and always there for you when you needed them. Very responsive and listened to everything you said. You weren’t just a client. They treated you like family. Cadence did an impressive job. I recommend the firm and Cadence highly. I can’t thank you enough

It was my first time ever having to get a lawyer and go to Family Court to be able to see my children. My lawyer was Cadence Hulmes and she is the best. At first it was a little scary I guess because I didn’t really know what to expect but in the end everything worked out just like she told me it would. She fought in court for me like a couldn’t even imagine. It was honestly worth every penny. I don’t really look at her as just a lawyer anymore now she more like family to me, thank you again Cadence.

Cadence is amazing. She is a compassionate, knowledgeable lawyer who speaks to you on a human level in this difficult process. She kept me calm when everything seemed so daunting and confusing.

When it comes to your family, you want the best there is and that’s what you get when you hire Jennifer Mc Caskill and Cadence Hulme. I can assure you that when you walk thru the doors at this wonderful law firm, you are treated as if you’re family of everyone at the firm. After you meet with Jen and Cadence, it won’t take you long to realize, this is who I want to take charge and to lead me into battle, because with great leadership, like with this team and an unquestionable understanding of family law, you will come out victorious, with your head held high and your future in great hands. I truly stand behind my recommendation of this law firm and the great team that takes all the worry and guesswork out of going thru probably some of the most difficult times in your life. Jen and Cadence, thank you for all your hard work and dedication, you’re the best.

My attorney, Cadence, is considered a “Unicorn” in my world — having a background in psychology AND being a family court attorney — which is truly AMAZING. She knew exactly what to do and say at the most challenging times during my trial…which is a wonderful resource to have in an attorney when you are trying to navigate the aggravation of family courts. I have had nothing but positive experiences with this law firm and I would highly recommend the entire firm. Just good vibes all around.

I was referred to this practice by a friend who used them for a divorce. The best referrals really are from word of mouth! I was represented by both Jennifer and Cadence in my divorce and custody matters. They both were professional and very helpful. Both processes were explained thoroughly and I felt extremely prepared for both. Going through a divorce you hear of others nightmare experiences where attorneys fight for everything just to get the most money out of you. This firm couldn’t be farther from that experience. They truly operate in your best interest and give you realistic expectations. If I had any legal needs going forward I would absolutely recommend them.

I have an immense respect for Jen and her team. Jen and Cadence helped me through a very difficult jurisdictional case. Jennifer McCaskill is an extremely competent, knowledgeable, respectable and honest litigator and I appreciate her ability to finally bring my case to an end. I highly recommend her and her team!

When I met with Jennifer, I was presented with a few different options on how to proceed with my divorce, and the one that she suggested most was the one that worked best for me.Cadence was amazing to work with through the whole process. She answered all of my questions, gave great advice, and was honest about what was happening in each step.I am very satisfied with the settlement agreement that ended my marriage, and would definitely recommend this office for help during a divorce.

Cadence was very knowledgeable and walked me through the divorce process effortlessly. She was very straightforward and to the point - I felt my money was well spent. Office staff was very friendly and got back to me right away. Hopefully I never need to use them again, but if I did, I would absolutely hire Cadence as my attorney.

I don't know if I can really say enough about the service I got from literally anyone at this office. They were an overwhelmingly calming force in what could otherwise have been the most turbulent time of my life.There's never enough when you're getting divorced and starting your life over but with the guidance of this firm, I am confident that I achieved the best possible result. I was able to proceed into each step knowing that I fully understood the risks/benefits and that I had someone on my side that would advocate effectively.

I began working with Jenn and her team a few years ago. Life hands us tough decisions and landing in places we never thought could happen to us. However, here I sat in need of an attorney. This group of individuals made this journey as comfortable as possible. I worked closely with everyone in this group from Jenn to Kathryn to Candice. They are caring people who will support you and protect your interests as you go through a very emotionally tough time in your life. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the same situation.

When i was served in Virginia with paperwork from the other side in NJ i was at a loss I did not live in NJ so I never had a chance to meet with different attorneys in person it was the height of covid and everything was virtual. talk after talk with prospective attorneys the one thing that made me select Jen and her team was the confidence and professionalism from day 1.This process was a long one for me at no fault of ours the other side didn't want to communicate and seemed as if the resolution was not one they wanted to truthfully achieve. This team stayed with it and stuck it out when at time I didnt think it wold ever be overI would recommend This firm to anyone with the need of a attorney for family matters. They will fight for you fight with you and continue to push for their clients. I cannot say enough about them. I urge you to use this firm for attorney needs

The entire staff at the Law Office of Jennifer McCaskill is absolutely incredible to work with. While this was my first (and hopefully last) divorce, Jennifer and Rebecca were not my first lawyers. I came to them after a trusted friend referred them when I had to part ways with my initial attorney.When I met with Jennifer in her office I was a mess- divorce is hard, and I was so absolutely stressed. She was direct, smart, and I knew immediately--she is so so so good at what she does. She broke down for me exactly what we needed to do in ways I could understand, walked through next steps, and then she assured me it would be done and I would be ok. I was so overwhelmed, and she just told me, "We've got this. Let us do the hard stuff for you." I can't explain the relief I felt.I worked with Rebecca Rosenthal on the team, and she was remarkable. So organized, so efficient, so fast. When I was anxious she explained things clearly, when she thought something was not in my best interest she told me so assertively and honestly, and explained why. I knew she was looking out for my best interest, and my child's.In addition, the office staff was around with any question I had, they followed up on things I needed to do-- they were extraordinary. They returned calls and emails quickly, if they didn't know the answer they found it out for me.Lastly, the office sponsors a divorce support group on the second Thursday of the month that I have found to be incredibly helpful.I can't express to you the gratitude I have for these women. They didn't just take a truly awful time of my life and make it easier, they legitimately made me feel--and know--that they were by my side, holding me in their light. They were 100% on my team.My only regret in the entire process is that I didn't come to them first.Hire them. You've got this.

My experience with this law firm was undeniably fantastic. Jennifer did an amazing job. She was compassionate, understanding and had my back from start to finish. I highly recommend hiring this fine law firm. I greatly appreciate the commitment and detail that was involved. Lots of love!

Jessica Campbell

Making the decision of getting a divorce was incredibly difficult and filled with a lot of confusion and emotion. The McCaskill staff was incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive. I would never call a divorce easy because it is not. At the same time, Jennifer and the staff made the entire process as simple and straightforward as I hoped it could be. I am so grateful to them and their work.
