Jill, a family law attorney, has been criticized by multiple reviewers for her handling of cases involving child protection and abuse. Criticism and Abuse of Power
Several reviewers have described Jill as a Guardian ad Litem who failed to protect children from abuse and neglect. Author Jayciebug Abop claims that Jill helped a man who was accused of domestic violence retain a significant amount of his wife's assets, including retirement funds and private savings. Author Cody Grogan shares a similar experience, stating that Jill allowed his children to remain in an abusive home for two years and made harmful recommendations to the court.

Authors Traci Lynn Chesterfield Goodwin Brokken Haylo, Steve Swinehart, and Jennifer T. have all given Jill 5-star reviews, describing her as "one of the best lawyers around, " a "caring and knowledgeable attorney, " and a "very comfortable" and "reasonable" to work with.
