My practice is focused on advising and representing clients in the area of domestic relations, including dissolution of marriage, child custody, modifications of decrees of dissolution of marriage, enforcement of decrees, interstate custody matters, adult and child abuse matters, business valuation in dissolution, as well as all appellate work involving domestic matters.. Throughout my career, whether in private practice or in public service, I have focused on issues that concern families.  I've had the opportunity to work with a broad range of clients, from individuals to state agencies.  I've also had the honour of appearing in a number of circuit, associate circuit, probate and juvenile courts in the state as well as adminstrative tribunals and all three divisions of the Missouri Court of Appeals.. While I have the skills and training to litigate cases as needed, I recognize that litigation isn't always best for families and children.  Because of my belief that my work as an attorney doesn't end when a case is over, I've included mediation and guardian ad litem training in my educational profile.. Ultimately I believe that it is my duty to provide clients with information and education to enable them to make choices that are best for themselves and their families.  My goal is to be a guide through whatever legal process is applicable to the situation and to use the best tools available to help you resolve your matter so that you can continue on with your life.

I am Jennifer C. Phillips, a lawyer representing clients throughout Alameda, San Mateo, San Francisco and Contra Costa Counties.  I understand that a family law problem can affect your life in profound ways.  As your attorney, I will protect your interests and rights and will work with you to find the best resolution at the lowest possible cost.  I believe your money is better spent on family matters, not legal fees.

My firm focuses on two areas of law that sadly often intersect - bankruptcy and divorce.  The issues which arise during the separation of a couple oftentimes is financial.  Our family law court system is geared towards the division of assets and making sure the spouses are being supported through spousal support, and child support.. Having experienced the divorce of my own parents, I understand the emotional turmoil that separation causes.  My approach is oftentimes collaborative, seeking to bring both parties to the table to work out an agreement which is beneficial to both.  Our court system is adversarial, and some family lawyers think that when one person wins, the other person must lose.  However, it is my strong belief that it's possible that we can have win-win situations.. That being said, I am a zealous advocate when necessary, and will help you get the results that you want when there is a lot of dishonesty or distrust going on.  I have several years of experience in both family law and bankruptcy, and have handled hundreds of cases.

I have long held a passion for family law and bring over 15 years of experience in the field, including 8 years as a paralegal with Family Law Group.

I am a husband, father of three children, and an active member of my community (serving on the local school board for over 10 years).

I am a State Bar of California Certified Family Law Specialist. I have been practicing family law since 2008. I am experienced in handling complex and high asset family law matters, and in support and custody matters.. I believe in personal service open communication with my clients, such as promptly returning their phone calls and/or emails, always ensuring they understand their options and the legal proceedings, and keeping them apprised of the latest developments in their cases. I understand that when a client seeks my help, he or she is usually going through some of the most trying and emotional times of his or her lives. Thus, it is my goal as their attorney to competently guide them through the often confusing and complicated maze of legalities and find the best option for them. I also understand that my clients' time and money are very valuable to them. Thus, I give my clients my complete commitment to their legal goals: whether that is to quickly and efficiently resolve their case to their best advantage or aggressively litigate their cause.
