Terrible experience. In my opinion, Jennifer was too passive. At other times she seemed disinterested in my case. When I brought this to her attention, she told me that its hard being a divorce attorney. She said half her clients are angry and the other half are sad. If she truly holds those beliefs, then do the Gainesville community a favor and close your law practice. Also, she recently got all glammed up and it looks like she is trying to rebrand herself. Unless she changes what’s between her ears, or perhaps in her heart, you’ll get the same result. I would give zero stars if I could.

Jennifer represented me in my recent divorce. She clearly explained all processes, costs, and timelines associated with various options for proceeding, and we were able to choose the best solution for my situation. I have referred several people to Jennifer, and will use her if I ever have family law questions in the future. She is a really good person and a great lawyer.

Jennifer's deep knowledge of collaborative family law and her empathy were key to having a positive divorce experience. She always listened, and clearly explained current law to me. We discussed costs and benefits of all aspects of the divorce. She helped me through the most difficult time of my life; I am happy with her services and have referred a number of people to her. I will continue to do so in the future. I could not have had a better experience with a divorce attorney.

Jenn is one of the most compassionate people I’ve encountered. She handled my case with dignity and grace. Which was not easy because admittedly my case was probably one of the more difficult ones she’s encountered.

Regardless, she made me feel safe and protected while elegantly handling the other side in both a professional and compassionate manner. I recommend her to anyone how is looking for a good family law attorney. Her reasonable demeanor, steadfast tenacity, and excellent communication abilities can’t be beat!

Absolutely LOVED working with Jennifer. She was able to take my concerns, feelings, and explanation of events and articulate them perfectly in a way I couldn't for myself. She is professional and kind and FAIR. She truly cares about her clients and it shows.

Jennifer is so professional and caring. She really listens and goes the extra mile. I highly recommend her.

I'm glad I decided to pick Jennifer. I had such a hard time finding the right attorney for my divorce and I was already emotionally struggling to keep it together. She was very professional and made the process more at ease. I definitely recommend her. Thanks again, Jennifer!

Jennifer helped me with a Quick Claim Deed with dealing with my Ex. She is exceptionally helpful and understanding. She was quick to answer my questions. She is a Great professional lawyer.
If you need help, she will help you. If your looking for a lawyer that cares, Well Jennifer is it. Thanks Again!

I approached Jennifer about representing me in a “Collaborative Divorce.” Collaboratives are where each person has a lawyer, plus there is a “financial neutral” and a “mental health coach.” At my first meeting with Jennifer, she assured me that she had done numerous “collaboratives” and could represent me well. She explained how collaboratives are different from litigated divorces, and I understood those important differences. I eventually asked, “How much will all this cost (ie, for all four professionals)?” She hemmed and hawed and did not want to give me a number. She said that each situation is unique and costs can vary greatly. I told her that I understood this, so I then asked her for the costs for her last five collaboratives, since she had done so many. She was even more uncomfortable with the question. I told her that perhaps a collaborative process wasn’t for me, at which time she said, “About $10,000 total.” I asked, “Worse case scenario?” She said, “$12,500.” I retained her at that time. The billing was slow at the beginning, but once my financial information was provided to the collaborative team, the billing picked up. When those subsequent bills hit, the total cost was at $24,835, and we were only half way through the process. While Jennifer has the right to bill whatever she deems is appropriate, misrepresenting those costs made me quite upset. Jennifer and the other ‘professionals’ told me that in exchange for paying current invoices, all future billing would be suspended. I expressed my disgust with Jennifer in very clear terms. Her response was, “Had you litigated the divorce in court, the costs would have been much higher.” I replied, “That may very well be true, but it is irrelevant, as I did not ask for the cost of a litigative divorce.” I challenged Jennifer and told her that if she produced the total costs for her last five collaboratives, and the average cost was $10,000 or less, I’d donate a $1,000 to the charity of her choice. She declined my offer. The "financial neutral" was Helen Gyllstrom and the "Mental Health" professional was Bill Farley. Both were equally complicit in the fraud as they saw and heard Jennifer's $10,000 estimate several times and said nothing, yet knowing full well that the costs would go well beyond $10K. I spoke with a friend in Nebraska who is a divorce lawyer. After explaining my situation to him, he stated that while each circumstance is unique and there are differences from state to state, my divorce should have costed around $5K - $6K. Honestly, the Gainesville Collaborative Divorce group is run like a criminal cartel with Jennifer being one of the crime family heads. In closing, I can’t tell you who to retain as your divorce lawyer. What I can tell you however, is that Jennifer and her colleagues were not truthful about the collaborative divorce process. Jennifer is also being reported to the Bar for this. It is frustrating when you’re paying someone to professionally represent your interests and that person looks you straight in the eye on Day 1, and is not truthful.

A very unprofessional experience. Mrs. Curcio was not my attorney but the opposing counsel in a family law case. During our mediation Mrs. Curcio walked into the waiting room where I stood with my Attorney. She made eye contact and politely introduced herself to my lawyer and shook his hand. She then very deliberately and blatantly ignored me and did not even make eye contact to me prior to starting the mediation. I found this action to be egregiously rude and unprofessional. As we are all taught in grade school, "actions speak louder than words."

As a police officer for the past 12 years, I am a keen observer of nonverbal body language and cues. Mrs. Curcio entered that mediation with a personal bias and treated me as such. I was deeply insulted but did not make mention of it.

Additionally, even my ex had fired Curcio as her attorney.

Jennifer is one of the most qualified Attorney's I have ever encountered. If you are looking for an Attorney who will represent you as if you were her only client she is for you. Very professional, aggressive, intelligent, dedicated, and honest. You will be very happy you selected Jennifer as your Attorney.
