Law Offices of Jennifer J. Riley - Blue Bell, Pennsylvania

Alexis J.

My experience with this office was nothing but exceptional, everyone was so friendly and helpful. My questions or concerns were always answered in a timely manner. This was my first time ever needing and dealing with a law office for legal help and I was absolutely clueless on what to do/expect. I will be forever grateful for Jennifer Riley and the amazing people who work in her office. I’d like to give an extra special thank you to my attorney Tyler Kaestner who helped me in a very difficult time, Tyler was truly wonderful to work with and helped me throughout my divorce and custody process, he explained everything so well and help me navigate my way through the mess of my life. If you are ever in need of legal help, definitely don’t hesitate to reach out to this office, you won’t regret it! If you are already going through a difficult time, don’t make it even worse by not having the best representation you could have for yourself. I will definitely be recommending this office to everyone I can !

This review is long overdue!

On November 20th of 2023, I filed for a Divorce from a spouse who struggled with different addiction issues, infidelity, the list goes on. In January of 2024, I discovered my spouse, through counsel, had filed a custody action against me. Considering this individual had been in and out of the picture from Day 1, and could not even support himself, I felt shocked. Initially, I allowed my boss of 14 years who is an attorney to represent me since, I am a single mother, and he wished to represent me for free. That was an impulsive decision on my part. I ended up firing him within a handful of days because he did not have the expertise in Family Law that I desperately needed, and he failed to truly listen to what I had to say. I then met with an incredibly rebellious and brazen attorney I was acquainted with who had a reputation for kicking legal a$$ and continuously winning landmark cases. Yet, that attorney was clearly only interested in my physical appearance, and acted like a complete unethical pig during my first in-person Custody Meeting with him. I felt beyond outraged, discouraged, and even a bit defeated. It was a rough legal start to say the least. As a result, I heavily researched reputable FEMALE attorneys who specialized in Family Law, and became interested in two. Jennifer Riley was one of them. Upon meeting with Jennifer and her Associate, Amanda Atkinson, I immediately knew they were the right legal fit for me. These two gems were the exact legal team I had been searching for and desired to have in my corner to fight for my child and I, and protect us in Court. Jennifer and Amanda made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked into Jennifer’s office. While opening up about deeply personal, traumatic, and triggering events, they made me feel 100% at ease. They created a safe environment for me to share and vent in. They listened intently, and did not judge. They offered understanding, empathy, and compassion. When walking through a custody battle, one will typically experience many dark and deep-rooted emotions, which can, at times, bring out a frustrating side of even the best individuals who have the best of intentions. During the darkest of times, Jennifer and Amanda tread thoughtfully, act patiently, and consistently prove how much they genuinely care. They are passionate advocates. They are respectful, but fierce when necessary. They are humble, and confident. They are realistic, and honest. They are knowledgeable, and wise. They are thorough, organized, and strategic. They are courteous, and kind. Honestly, I cannot speak highly enough about either one of these terrific women. They made an incredibly difficult experience financially and emotionally LESS stressful. Retaining private counsel is not cheap in the slightest. Jennifer understands this, and graciously allowed me to work a payment plan with her office staff. In conclusion, I could not feel more grateful for my phenomenal legal team. They are a team I can trust. Oh, yeah, and, by legal standards, on October 1st of 2024, I WON with a number of unicorn provisions/protections in place. Cheers (of Sparkling Cider) to that! Thank you Jennifer and Amanda! 🥳🙌🏻

I cannot speak about the services of Ms. Riley, as she did not represent me in my matter. Ms. Riley referred me to her Associate Attorney, Amanda Atkinson. I looked up her credentials online and felt that she may not be equipped to handle my case, however after speaking directly to her about my case, I felt more comfortable, as she spoke of a plan that seemed viable. Always trust your gut! Ms. Atkinson wasn't as prepared as she should have been. She never spoke to my witnesses before court. In the courtroom she was disheveled, shuffling papers around at the last minute, asking me to find things for her and arrange papers for her during lunch break. I wrote her notes so that she could ask follow up questions to the main witness; she never asked about those topics and seemed lost in her line of questioning. She overspent the $5k retainer by over $4,900. The costs are questionable based on her lack of preparedness. The case was lost partly because Ms. Atkinson was intimidated by the judge (she said she didn't want to upset the judge by doing objections) and she did not properly question the witnesses. She also did not produce enough evidence (and we had a lot of evidence to present) again because she was afraid of upsetting the judge who wanted to speed things along. The judge also seemed to be biased, but that is another topic. Again, I cannot speak to the services of Ms. Jennifer Riley, as she did not represent me in court, however, I would absolutely not recommend Ms. Amanda Atkinson to represent you. She was very nice, professional, and spoke as if she had a viable plan. She was a lovely and pleasant person, however when it came down to executing the plan in place, the whole thing was a flop, underperformed at best. And she overspent without any regard to costs incurred or the validity of said costs.

I cannot recommend Tyler Kaestner highly enough. From the moment I reached out for legal assistance, they demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, understanding, and empathy. Navigating family matters is never easy, but Tyler Kaestner took the time to listen, offer thoughtful advice, and ensure I understood every step of the process. Their attention to detail and expertise made all the difference in achieving the best possible outcome for my case.

Throughout the entire process, they were responsive, approachable, and always available to answer any questions I had. What stood out the most was their ability to balance legal strategy with a compassionate approach, always keeping my family's best interests at the forefront.

If you're in need of a family lawyer who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Tyler Kaestner. I am beyond grateful for their support and guidance.

Amanda was not only an incredible attorney, but also a great friend during my custody case. She helped advocate what was best for my children, and endlessly put her all into making sure we had the best outcome. She helped reassure me with any stressors that I had, no matter how early in the morning or how late in the evening. She absolutely put her all into helping our family, as if my children were her own. I am forever grateful for Amanda and all she did.

I can highly recommend Jennifer and her staff to anyone in need of legal advice and help. Jennifer has gone above and beyond to assist me during my separation and final divorce process. She has taken time to consult me even when I was abroad and time changes challenged phone calls and meetings. She held my hand during difficult stretches and helped me make right decisions without pressure. Jennifer was compassionate when it came to my emotional safety and both strong and fierce about protecting my financial safety. She masters the perfect balance of professional and empathetic guidance.
Her staff is just as helpful, they have excellent phone and email manners and it is a pleasure to work with this well led team in spite of the unpleasant circumstances that may make you seek their legal advice.
You are in best hands and will be represented by a top lawyer.
