I have hired several lawyers for different things over the years. Then I found Jill Votta!! She made all of the others pale by comparison. What a difference with her. She gets back to you right away, always returns calls the same day, and even calls at night. What service and professional!! I will never go anywhere else! I could not recommend her more highly. Thanks- great result.

Referred to Jill by a friend. Made an appointment for initial consultation and felt very comfortable with her. She was forthright and spoke in laymen's terms (no legalese). Explained my rights & what I could expect during the difficult process of divorce. Jill responded immediately to all my questions & concerns i.e. called back at all times & even called me back while on vacation. In court, she demonstrated her experience & also that she was a skilled lawyer. Jill handled my case with professionalism, dedication & poise; she helped me shoulder the burden through this difficult process. Jill fulfilled her promise to represent me to the best of her ability; she treated me & my family with the utmost respect. She worked aggressively & did everything possible to settle my case. She most importantly considered the welfare of my children as top priority and did everything to protect the interests of my family. We truly appreciate & sincerely thank you for all that you've done for us.

I recently went through a divorce. During the process of choosing an attorney I asked people that I knew and trust, one name kept coming up, Jill Votta. I made an appointment to see to her, first thing she did was instill confidence in me that everything was going to be okay and better days would be ahead for me. After meeting with her for an hour and half I made my decision to have Jill represent me. I had a million questions, she took the time to answer them all as if it was the first time she heard the questions, If I called with a question with a question, she got back to me immediately. Jill gave sound legal advice regarding the divorce. When it came time to go to court, she made sure I was as comfortable and prepared for the proceeding. Jill took an interest in me as a person, not just another statistic. This was the toughest thing I went through and she was there every step of the way. If I could quote her "you get what you pay for" I got that and a whole lot more. Thank you.

I agree with the poor review of Atty Votta. She is somehow able to charge exorbitant, inflated prices and get away with it. Before seeking an attorney, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Read reviews, ask around... Otherwise you'll end up in the hands of the likes of Jill Votta.

Jill Votta is THE best ever. She is extremely dedicated and will go the distance for her clients. I have known her for many years and would highly recommend her. Jill is respectful, honest, and trustworthy.

After reading all of the comments below and seeing the good and bad, I can only agree with most of them. She is very good in court and may work a good deal for you. However, with that being said, she is very much a bully. Over charging is her game and negotiating with you at the end is her way of trying to look fair. Oh and that's only if you make a stink about how and what she charges for. It is my beliefs that Jill Votta cares for nothing and nobody but her wallet. She treats the client very poor and bullys her way onto you, fighting with her is the only way she listens and stress on top of what you are already dealing with is what you will get. Jill is a crook, bottom line, good lawyer with no morals or care for what your going through.

Jill is fabulous, and incredibly responsive to clients. She always returns phone calls- quickly. Well worth her rate, as my prior atty was more expensive, and less reachable, when I was in distress. All lawyers charge for their time, but she gives you quality time- every time. I HIGHLY recommend her, especially if you are are having a hard time with your divorce or children issues. No ATTITUDE. The BEST! Glad I switched to her! Very FAIR on fees, and gave me time to pay!

I first discovered Jill while in divorce court with my attorney. Watching her interact with her client, other attorneys and the judge, I wished she were representing me. I was impressed with her ability to be forceful yet respectful. Her preparedness and knowledge were very apparent and her communication skills, superb. Needless to say, my case dragged on so I did switch to Jill. It was the best decision. Not only did the situation come to a quick resolution, her fees were less than my previous attorney (who I could never find when I was in court). Her compassion was so reassuring at a time I needed it most. In summary, I felt well cared for as I knew she was there for me. Should have hired her from the beginning!

Jill is very,very over priced. She behaves superior to her clients and is condescending to them. You will be charged for every phone call even missed ones and voice mails etc. Communication is demeaning and rude at times. Don't recommend at all.

Jill just finished my case, and boy am I glad that I read these reviews and hired her. She is extremely compassionate and knows her stuff. First and foremost, she was there for me, and she always gives you a straight answer without all the legal mumbo jumbo that I can't understand. She mede it easier. I knew she really cared about ME, and my case. She is very professional!

Defintely intmidating and pushy - looking only to pad her wallet. Wsh I had read the article in 2010 - big mistake. A bulldog indeed but compassion is lacking, she is all about making a buck. And I won my case

This woman is phenomonal as a divorce/family court lawyer.She fights hard for her client's position, and she lets you know how things are going to go up there in that crazy court. Also, she returns ALL of your phone calls, usually in quick fashion, unless she is in court all day. She even called me back at night! Great communication skills! I highly recommend her, and I will pick her again, when/if I have to go back to court. Thank You.

I cannot say enough about Jill's work and ethics! I wish the score went higher! Jill is a hard worker, knows her law and I am very fortunate that she is on my side in this world! A definite hire!

Jill is so easy to talk to and such a good listener. She seemed to really understand and care, both about my case and me as a person.

I just read the Pro Jo article and I am very disappointed in my choice of Jill Votta as my lawyer. She does not appear to be concerned about the client so much as charging $350 per hour to a woman who could ill afford such fees. Regardless of what the client signed, she is still a person who placed her trust in Jill Votta and in return was sued in Superior Court. If Jill is such a fine lawyer she should have resolved this issue with her client well before it reached the point of making it into a lead article in the Providence Journal. This is not good press for Jill Votta or for the Rhode Island Bar Association. Old school lawyers like Jill Votta need to seriously rethink their value in the legal marketplace. Clearly Jill Votta's value as a laywer has diminished as a result of her interaction with this client.

Been my attorney for about 33 years now. She knows the law and communicates her knowledge so that anyone can understand it. She is like a bulldog in court and that is what I pay her for. She is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I have used her for Family Court and real estate matters.

Jill Votta came highly recommended by the two lawyers I trust most in the world. She is thoughtful, smart, practical, thorough and tough when she needs to be. I left court chanting out loud: thank God I listened to her!

This lawyer is fabulous! I was at the worst point in my life, and she got me through it all. I felt like she was my lawyer and my protector. She is professional, on time, and always calls back--always the same day-very quickly. When I buy my house or condo with the settlement she got for me, I will definitely call her to represent me. She is also a real estate expert. I saw her on TV for the RI Bar Association, and on a show for other RI Bar Assn. topics. Unequivocally, she is the best, and I would never go to anyone else. If you truly want a great caring lawyer, you should call Jill Votta.

I found Jill Votta by accident/while in line at a store a woman said she did not know if she had enough money to pay for her grocery bill/Jill with out saying anything paid/ the womans bill/ the woman asked who that was and she was told it was Jill Votta -he then added she is a lawyer.So when I needed a lwayer to help with closing on my home I call Jill/Jill always called me back and even called me on a Sunday night to answer my questions/so if you need a great lawyer who is kind/responsible and will get the job done call Jill.

I have retained Jill Votta for real estate matters and family court issues on several occaisions. She is compassionate and hard working.She is also extremely thorough and a great communicator. Unlike other attorneys, she always returns your phone call on the day that you call, even if it is 7p.m.,and she has been in court all day. Also, unlike other lawyers, she is always on time for closings, appointments with me, and for court. I highly recommend her as a personal lawyer.

I have used Jill Votta for over 30 years. She works hard and leaves no stone unturned. She returns each and every phone call in a timely manner. I have recommended her numerous times and have never hesitated to do it again. I give her the issue and can feel assured that it will be done correctly.

Wasted time holding us in the office so she could bill for the whole hour. Asked us to bring in personal documents (bank and stock info) and took all these notes, yet didn't use the info for anything. Billed 15 mins to read a 5 line fax. Was not pleasant to deal with - intiminating and pushy. I would NOT recommend using.
