“Jennifer represented me in my custody and child support case. It was very stressful and difficult for me but she is AMAZING. I would recommend her to anyone seeking representation.” Posted by Maryclaire on Jun 17
KEN WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL "I used Ken for both my divorce and custody case. I interviewed two lawyers prior to Ken, both listened to my complaints and agreed they would pursue what I was wanting. Ken was the only one that listened. Ken was extremely professional, very well educated and versed like no other lawyer we challenged during my custody case (ex-wife had three different lawyers throughout the process). Always very responsive, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure timely responses." Posted by Justin March 23, 2022
Excellent Family Lawyer 5.0 stars Posted by Kristen October 19, 2022 Ken Hodge has been my family law lawyer since 2007; although I had no idea at that time, Ken has represented me for 15 YEARS due to unpaid child support even when I relocated to Illinois in 2009. When I chose Ken Hodge to represent me, I did so because of his personal integrity, humble personality, and his astuteness in family law. He is an advocate for fairness and represents his clients as such. He ensures your needs are met and makes you “feel” like you’re his only client because he cares so deeply. None of us really know how long we will require legal services, especially in family law; thank God I chose Ken!!! I strongly urge anyone looking for help with their divorce / custody to retain him – he really is the GOAT!!!
DIVORCE “Jennifer was wonderful, as was her paralegal, David. Whenever I had something to discuss, she made time. She answered emails promptly. She understood my concerns and didn’t beat around the bush. She told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. Even after the divorce was final and I still had issues with my ex, she helped! I don’t wish divorce on anyone, but if it happens, I would recommend Jennifer Simmons!” Posted by a client on Jun 17
DIVORCE “Ms. Simmons and her team were extremely helpful and patient with me and my situation. They offered the best possible advisement and were timely in all aspects. I would recommend Ms. Simmons and would absolutely seek her representation should I need it again (but lets hope not…)” Posted by Rachel on Feb 17
AMAZING AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED “I had a difficult custody and support case. Jennifer was wonderful and did an amazing job for me. I highly recommend her.” Posted by a client on Jun 17
DIVORCE, CHILD CUSTODY “I highly recommend Jennifer and her staff for any family law needs. Jennifer walked me through every step of my separation, custody battle and divorce. I couldn’t be more pleased with how my case was handled. I felt as if, I was a priority every time I called or emailed. Her staff is very compassionate and knowledgeable as well.” Posted by Tabitha on Feb 17
PROFESSIONALISM “In the past 6 years I have required legal counsel and legal services to resolve issues associated with my divorce on three separate occasions. After extensive research I found the law office of Ms. Jennifer Simmons. Her professionalism, knowledge of the legal system, ability to express my desires in written documents, and her skill at articulating my case in court were exceptional. Without her knowledge and legal prowess, the outcome of my case may not have turned out as well as it did.. In addition to her legal skills, I found her to be very personable, easy to talk to, and someone who understood what I was hoping to accomplish. From a financial perspective, her rates were reasonable, she never billed me excessively, or charged me for services she didn’t provide. My experience with her law office was absolutely phenomenal. If you require legal services, she is the one to call.” Posted by Mike on Jun 19
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED “We highly recommend the services of this firm and will definitely use the services of this firm if we need legal services in the future. They were very effective, knowledgeable, professional and easy to deal with. They were also very much on top of things and made sure the right things happened at the right time. I felt the amount of time billed was very fair and reasonable. In short, we were completely satisfied and recommend the firm highly.” Posted by a client on Feb 21
PROFESSIONAL AND COMPASSIONATE “I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing legal services. Jennifer represented and walked me through every step of my divorce and custody agreement. The office personnel is very professional and compassionate. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. Having Jennifer represent me was a instant stress relief, she is honest and will give you a straight answer. I felt that my case was handled with care and as a priority, every time I called or emailed.” Posted by a client on Feb 17
WONDERFUL, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND INVALUABLE “I used Ms. Simmons services on several occasions in the past 5 years to help me resolve legal issues associated with a painful divorce. I found her services to be invaluable. She was very knowledgeable in all aspects of divorce law and did everything possible to ensure a favorable outcome on my behalf. She was wonderful to conduct business with from a personal perspective as well. She was genuinely concerned, helpful, and caring during this trying time. I would recommend her to anyone!!” Posted by a client on Jun 29
CHILD CUSTODY “I highly recommend Ms. Jennifer Simmons and her paralegal David for legal representation. They both were extremely professional and made things much less stressful for me. From my first initial consultation, she immediately made me feel comfortable, and successfully represented me during this very difficult time in my life. She listened to me and addressed all my immediate concerns. After I retained her as my legal counsel, she continued her professional representation. I have since then recommended several others to her for custody, divorce, support, etc. She is a wonderful, very knowledgeable attorney and I will continue to call upon her firm if I or others may need legal representation in the future.” Posted by Nikki on Jun 18
SHE LOOKS OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST “After my first initial consultation, I felt blessed to have found Jennifer Simmons and her law firm. I have never met an attorney who was so sharp, intelligent and that really genuinely cared about my child and I. She ALWAYS looked out for our best interest. Once I retained her, I was finally able to sleep through the night and my stress levels were a lot lower. I never had to worry about anything. Ms. Simmons has been a God’s send! Her staff is super friendly and extremely professional.” Posted by a client on June 18

SHE IS A COMFORT “Mrs. Simmons was patient and kind with a child support case that was not a typical case. I did not anticipate spending the amount of time or money that the case took to resolve however I was comforted in knowing that Mrs. Simmons was there to assist and tried to keep my expenses to a minimum. If I need a family attorney again I will return to Mrs. Simmons.” Posted by a client on Jun 29
MR. HODGE LISTENED TO ME Mr. Hodge listened to me and I had a lot on my mind and a lot to say. I was under much anxiety and anger while living through a separation involving children. Mr. Hodge consistently educated me, and with every meeting or phone call I felt more confident in my decision making. When I had questions about decisions I needed to make like investigations and selling assets, Hodge guided me in that decision making process by referencing specific law- in a way I could understand but also in a way as if we were having that conversation in a courtroom. This approach and relationship worked for me because I wanted an attorney who knows the law, and can apply the law and past Court findings to my specific case and set of circumstances. I was not looking for a friend or counselor, I already had both of those. I was looking for representation and I confidently found it in Mr. Hodge.

Attorney Review 5.0 stars Posted by Thomas March 24, 2022 Ken was persistent and patient. He never yielded and was always willing to put the needs of the children first. I would highly recommend his services…as an attorney, but mostly as a friend.
