Best Lawyer in town

Jean is all business. She doesn’t waste your time or your money. I was put into a horrible situation with my kids and Jean immediately got me an appointment the following day and helped me follow the legal steps to move forward with my separation/divorce. My (ex) husband and I came to an agreement and Jean wrote up a legal document, canceled the expensive court hearings and had my (ex) husband and I sign within 9 days. Divorces can drag on for years so don’t fight the other person no matter how bad they’ve hurt you and your kids. Jean got me the money I deserve for child support, the items I wanted to keep from our marriage and the parenting plan I want. I even got a large amount of my money back from my retainer fee. Jean doesn’t try to rip you off which is what I really appreciated especially when I need to save to start my new life as a single mom. We are now waiting the 90 days but are able to move forward with separation. I highly recommend Jean Kingsley. She will fight for you and get things done. I’ve had an attorney in the past that coat $5000 and we didn’t even get anything accomplished. So it’s nice to know there are still attorneys to trust. Good luck!

The best. She did everything thoroughly and helped me through an extremely difficult time. I have every confidence in her.

I hired Jean to help resolve a 38 year marriage. She is extremely knowledgeable in the legal aspect of divorce. This was a very difficult and
emotional time for me. Jean very compassionately reminded me divorce is a legal process. Focusing on the legal aspect not the emotional saved me
thousands of dollars. She was able to get a settlement I am extremely happy with, and is very fair for both parties. I would absolutely recommend Jean to
you, to resolve your marriage.

You found the right one! Personal and Professional

April 13, 2018

I didn’t know how to find a good attorney for such an impacting personal matter in my life: legal separation. When I spoke with Ms Kingsley on the phone, I knew that I wanted to work with her. I wasn’t disappointed.

She spoke with me herself. She explained things but wasn’t condescending. This was someone that I could talk to! She gave factual and reliable answers to my questions compared with the others that I spoke with. Her step by step instructions made all the difference.

Ms Kingsley met with me, prepared my documents, represented me at a hearing and mediation and guided me through the process of legal separation and divorce. She prepares documents and files them in a timely and conscientious manner, she was effective in the courtroom and related to me in a supportive way. She had experience with the law and accomplished what I needed.

Ms. Kingsley always returned my emails and phone calls right away. I never had to wait around feeling like I can’t get a hold of my attorney, when I really needed her!

I have rarely known someone so efficient as Ms Kingsley. She uses time extremely effectively. She knows how to get right to the point and yet be very thorough. I felt like I was getting a bargain considering how much she could do in an hour!

I never felt the frustrations that many others feel with their attorneys: unavailability, over charging, lack of follow through, not being timely, rudeness, not keeping me updated, not explaining so I can understand, or not truly helping me reach my goals!

To the contrary, Ms Kingsley accomplished much for me and made a difficult time to be less difficult. I would recommend her to any personal friend of mine.

Ms Kingsley is full of integrity and gave it to me straight without wasting time. I could trust her. She is very experienced and highly professional.

I’m so grateful that I had her services at this time in my life!

Amazing Lawyer

I recently had Jeanne Kingsley represent me in my Divorce. Not only is Jeanne very frugal with your money but makes what is a very difficult situation as comfortable as possible. She is extremely versed in family law and has your best interest in mind 110%. I highly suggest using Jeanne in all matters family law.

After years of trying to adjust my parenting plan I was given Jean Kingsley’s name from a friend who had hired her, my friend had told me she was the best and it turns out she absolutely is. She was so nice to work with and got me exactly what I wanted! I cannot thank her enough for her hard work. I would highly recommend her for any family law matters that anyone may have! I could not be more happy after so many years to have peace of mind for myself and my children!

Divorce

 

September 10, 2015

I hired Jean after 2 mos with another atty, who was simply taking my $. I was getting nowhere with him, pathetic. After retaining Jean, in less than 3 weeks, she had everything turned 180°, completely in my favor! This woman is incredible, and I owe her so much more than her fees. Thank you Jean, you were a godsend!!

Lawyer that gets thing done

 

December 20, 2014

I got referred to Jean after the first two lawyers did almost nothing in five month’s of my Divorce but use up the 5000.00 retainer I paid them. Things started to happen as soon as I retained Jean and I was divorced in four months. I was out of town for two of those months. I highly recommend Jean if you want a professional attentive attorney who was prompt to return calls if she was busy when I called, to get things done!! Thank You Jean it was a pleasure having you represent me!!!

An Excellent Lawyer

 

January 29, 2014

Jean was an excellent lawyer for my very difficult divorce. She advocated for me, listened to me, was always timely in her responses, and made me feel heard & taken care of. I trust her implicitly. She handled every curve ball & bump in the road with competence & confidence. I could not speak more highly of her as an attorney.

Superb Representation

 

July 1, 2013

I live out of state and was referred to Jean Kingsley in Bellingham, WA. I asked if she would represent a family member in a divorce case in which she lived in another state. I contacted various attorneys in Bellingham, WA and none of them wanted to represent people living in another state and/or affordable. Pleasantly, Jean agreed to take on the case at an affordable rate. I was amazed considering circumstances of family member living in another state and couldn’t be present during court proceedings and/or hearings. Everything was via phone conferencing, emailing, faxing. Her expertise was absolutely SUPERB!! She was extremely professional and always accepted my calls. Her follow-up was perfect and very communicative and honest. I never once got transferred into her voicemail or had to wait anxiously for a returned phone call. She was always available to speak over the phone no matter how busy she was. She always had a positive wonderful attitude, extremely personable, patient, persistent, driven, intelligent, and hard working. In the end, she prevailed in my family member’s divorce case. I’m so elated and blessed I found her and that my family member’s divorce is finalized. I highly recommend her for representation. She’s amazing.

This is the one!

 

October 6, 2012

Jean Kingsley is a beautiful person as well as a great lawyer. What impressed me most about her, professionally, was her calm, well-informed advice. I’d been run over by a predatory lawyer before I found her, and in a blink, my messy divorce started straightening out. It wasn’t pleasant or easy, but Jean was able to make me feel protected from the acid rain of the other team. There is at least one lawyer in Bellingham that can be trusted: Jean Kingsley!!

Excellent Lawyer For your Family Law needs!

 

March 5, 2012

Mrs Kingsley came onto my case in the middle after having to let go of my previously lawyer for not doing the job she was hired to do. Mrs Kingsley worked quickly and effectively without charging me to get caught up on my case. Not only that but Mrs Kingsley did things my other lawyer did not do and I wasn’t even aware of. I contribute winning my case to Mrs Kingsley. Had I not have hired her I would be still trying to get a divorce. She did an excellent job and I plane on recommending her to anyone and everyone I can!! She did an amazing job!!

Helped with complicated case

 

January 30, 2011

I have worked with Jean on several complicated cases. She has always approached my cases with both dedication and compassion. Jean brought a tremendous body of knowledge to my most recent case. She helped us fight through the legal bureaucracy ultimately reuniting me with my daughter. I would strongly recommend Jean as a lawyer.
