About Jenna A. Shankman

Jenna’s practice focuses on family law, trusts and estates, and probate litigation. In family law, Jenna represents clients in divorces, child support matters, child custody disputes, and post-judgment matters. Jenna is certified as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) and Attorney for the Minor Child (AMC) for the State of Connecticut. In estate planning, Jenna represents clients in developing estate plans that protect themselves and help to conserve, distribute, and safeguard hard-earned assets through the execution of wills, trusts, and other documents. Jenna also routinely appears in probate court throughout Connecticut and handles will contests, contested and uncontested conservatorships, guardianship proceedings, and contested and uncontested estate administration matters.

In both family law and trusts and estates, Jenna strives to understand each person’s unique circumstances. Because no two people are the same, Jenna is committed to finding a creative solution that best fits the client’s situation. Jenna is passionate about helping people in all stages of life and making sure that each person feels supported. To help achieve this goal, she focuses on client communication, which she feels is imperative to successfully representing each client. Jenna finds that the most rewarding part of her practice is building connections with people and giving back to the community.

During law school, Jenna spent time in the Civil Justice Clinic representing immigrants to obtain citizenship. She also worked to help pass House Bill 6657, a law that can fundamentally change the lives of human trafficking victims in the State of Connecticut.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
