Jenny knows the law, will stand up for you when confronted with strong-arm tactics but will also negotiate when a deal is possible, listens to you but will also give you frank advice. During three years of a contentious divorce, I saw Jenny deal effectively with four different attorneys on the other side, all with very different styles. She makes herself available when you need her and is always well prepared for mediation, a hearing, or trial. But she’s also efficient, getting things done quickly, being careful about the money you, her client, are paying. You’re left wondering where she finds the time to prepare as she does, but I see from the other reviews that she consistently provides this level of service. Divorce is hard in so many ways. You want an attorney who is making the process easier, not more difficult. Jenny will work with you to figure out what things matter, what things not so much, and help you achieve an outcome you’re satisfied with.

Jenny Clapp has been a life saver as I have gradually untangled myself from a 29 year partnership that involved canvassing the Massachusetts Legislature for equal LGBTQ+ marriage, to a marriage that included one daughter who is now 18. I never thought that a divorce, especially mine, would become so contentious. Nor did I anticipate that my former spouse would become so embittered. The process involved me looking at every scrap of my former spouse and my finances. Through this process I was able to understand just how much money I actually contributed to my marriage, something my wife disputed at every step. I eventually came through the divorce with what I felt was a fair and equitable division of assets. I also received sound advice on seeing our daughter through a turbulent time. Really, if you must go through a divorce, if every negotiation becomes contentious, it would be wise to have Clapp Family Law see you through the process.

Jenny took the time to understand the complexity of the circumstances and help me articulate my values in a way that was useful in guiding the process during a difficult time. We came back to those values often when navigating difficult points, thinking about negotiations, and avoiding getting stuck. As a result, I believe we ended up with a good outcome for everyone; one that did not put up any additional barriers to growing my relationships with my children or my ex-spouse after the divorce.

I can’t recommend Jenny enough. She came recommended from a friend as one of the best and most experienced family attorneys in the Boston area. I’m so thankful to her for all of her help and the successful outcome with my divorce. She’s empathetic, knowledgeable, fair and tenacious. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer and ally to guide me through a difficult process that lasted over a year.

Jennifer came “highly recommended” as an exceptional practitioner of family law through a close family friend who is also a lawyer with extensive legal experience in the Greater Boston area. Having both legal and social work experience, Jennifer showed professionalism, responsiveness, competence, and compassion throughout the divorce process.

I engaged Ms. Clapp to defend me in a contested Alimony Contempt Case in the Family Court of Middelsex County (MA). She was extremely professional, very knowledgeable and a compassionate but firm negotiator

Hiring Attorney Clapp was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She fought to obtain a fair divorce settlement for me and supported me as I began a new life after 43 years of marriage.

Jennifer Clapp helped me through a difficult time with empathy, and was the strong advocate that I needed to protect my interests. I would recommend her services to anyone who is in need of legal services or advice in the separation process, regardless of the degree of contentiousness of the situation.

I highly recommend hiring Jenny Clapp to represent you. She is professional, ethical, honest, direct, passionate, compassionate, knowledgeable, respectful, collaborative, trustworthy, peer-respected and fair. Jenny represented me in my divorce, and, in a complicated modification trial. I value Jenny's advice and I value the way she listens to the things that are important to me. She has a unique way of combining her legal advice with my goals to formulate a winning strategy. There has not been a single time in my partnership with Jenny that I’ve second guessed my decision to have her represent me...not one.
