"Jennifer is one of the most intelligent and hardest-working attorneys in town. She truly cares about her clients and their children. Some attorneys only care about payday, but she has a conscience and a strong sense of ethics."

Chris Wilkinson- Smoky Mountain Process & Legal

"As a Process Server, I work with a lot of attorneys. That said I only recommend ones that I would or have used myself. I enjoy working with Attorney Egelston at Family Law for All because she's an attorney who answers her own phone and returns her own calls. She is available to her clients. Ms. Egelston doesn't waste her client's money by always having to go back to court to change custody orders as she tries to make parenting plans concise as well as listing out how those plans should be carried out and the consequences for deviating from them. As a Process Server I appreciate her planning and willingness to always meet me half way and do anything she can to make service easier for me. Hopefully I will never need another divorce attorney again, but if I did I would have no hesitation in hiring her to represent me."

"Jennifer is the best attorney I’ve worked with. First of all, she agreed to represent me at the last minute and helped me to navigate a difficult time. She was upfront and honest about every aspect of my case and worked quickly to help resolve the matter. She made me comfortable and relieved my anxiety about the case. From my experience I can attest that she is fair, professional, and a proven advocate, especially for single mothers. She was responsive and handled all my concerns with professionalism and competence. I’m very grateful for Jennifer and her hard work to resolve my case."
