Posey & Associates Attorneys at Law

Divorce is like setting your house on fire and then arguing about who gets the smoke. It’s expensive, emotional, and suddenly everyone you’ve ever met becomes a legal expert. That’s when I hired Jennifer Posey and Associates. First thing Jennifer did? She protected me… from me. Which, frankly, was the most dangerous person in the room. She kept me from making emotional, chest-thumping, “I’ll-show-them” decisions that feel great for 12 minutes and cost you for 12 years. She listened. Really listened. Then she gave me information — not hype, not fear, not drama — just the facts. Pros. Cons. Reality. She silenced the outside noise so I could actually think. I came in with boundaries. I had my Alamo — the things I was not willing to lose. Then I had the outer wall — the things I’d fight for, but wasn’t willing to die on. I wanted fair and equitable. No malice. No revenge tour. The kids’ mom was, is, and always will be their mom — and she deserved to be treated with respect. At the end of the day, I needed to sleep with peace in my heart. Jennifer promised she’d protect me from myself, keep me from making stupid emotional decisions, be honest — even when it wasn’t convenient — and walk me through the pros and cons of every major choice. She did exactly that. Her staff? Friendly. Kind. Professional. They answered the phone or called back quickly. They followed through. It felt less like calling a law office and more like calling people who actually had your back. Here’s the truth nobody wants to admit: Divorce is ugly. It changes people. Attorneys are expensive. The system in California can make you question your faith in humanity. And the outside noise? Deafening. You need a quarterback. Jennifer Posey is that quarterback. Calm in the chaos. Strategic. Honest. And when you’re about to throw an emotional Hail Mary into triple coverage, she calls a timeout. If you want drama, hire someone else. If you want steady, smart, and fair — hire Jennifer Posey and Associates. I walked away with what mattered, my integrity intact, and the ability to sleep at night. That’s worth everything.

I am so impressed by this lawyers expertise. Ms Posey and her firm handled my case with such professionalism and achieved an outstanding result for me... I walk away from this divorce with my head held high knowing that I retained the best attorney in Mission Viejo California and all of Orange County. She will fight for you and go that extra mile. I am profoundly grateful for their services. L Darlene Correll

I would recommend and refer the Family Law firm Posey & Franzi to any friend or family member.  Jennifer put together a highly qualified Team and it shows in their performance.  My divorce case was no walk in the park.  Jennifer and her associates handled my complicated case with great professionalism, strategy and responsibility.  I had a very complicated estate with assets, business shares and family trust issues to navigate.  Jennifer and her associates developed a strategy and direction, both offensively and defensively, that resulted in the best outcome I could have possibly asked for.

Divorce is an intimidating process, which can overwhelm someone with uncertainty. I wanted to make sure I wasn't taken advantage of, and that what was best for my daughter and my circumstances would be as important to my attorney as it was to me. I'm so grateful that I trusted Posey & Franzi to work with. From my initial consultation, I could tell that I was in good hands. They were extremely transparent with me about the process and set proper expectations, and more importantly, they fought for what was best for me as if they were personally invested too, which is something that I think is hard to find and the reason I will never take my business elsewhere. The whole staff is friendly and professional, and they made (and continue to make) the process less daunting. I would would recommend Posey & Franzi to anyone and everyone looking for quality representation.

Jennifer and her staff are the best of the best. She was able to get me out of a difficult situation with her expertise and grace. While I was in the midst of a divorce from my ex-husband who would not budge on any financial matters. I was stuck with an incompetent lawyer who would refuse to fight for what I wanted. My divorce had been going on for 2 years at this point. Nothing was coming to an end. On top of that, I was losing massive amounts of money and my spirit was exhausted. But as soon as I switched to Jennifer, things immediately started looking up. Her assertiveness and strong communication skills were effective in every interaction with my ex's lawyer. She always responded to my emails quickly, keeping me in the know. Whatever came to me, she helped me get through it. Jennifer is extremely experienced, so I would strongly recommend her to be your family attorney.

I needed legal counsel and representation for several ongoing custodial battles after I was legally separated and for my divorce. Everyone at Posey & Associates is highly regarded. Numerous acquaintances informed me (unsolicited) that I was VERY well represented. I consistently found everyone at the firm to be fully informed and up to speed on my case(s). They are organized, efficient and sharp. They operate as a unified, cohesive team. Several things stood out for me with Mr. Franzi: * He read every word of documentation I sent him (lots) and he remembered every detail of it. * He made it clear to me up front and throughout, what would be useful to the case and what would be a waste of my time and money... and his. * Regardless of the court of morality and righteousness, he only focused on winnable strategies in a court of law. Though he is a sympathetic and good listener, he never deviated from whatever was the strongest legal path to victory. * I was always copied on draft documents (which were compellingly written) before they were submitted. I felt fully informed throughout the entire process. * Lastly, Mr. Franzi does not go in for bombastic histrionics. He is respectful and gains rapport with opposing counsel, judges and court staff. He is unassuming in his personality but focuses on making a solid legal case. On legal points, he is unrelenting but I've seen him use rapport and mutual respect to leverage reciprocity and sympathy to his clients' advantage. He prefers to let the facts and evidence be the megaphone. I felt I was in very good hands. I referred my mother to him as well who also hired him. I highly recommend Mr. Franzi of Jennifer Posey & Associates with the greatest confidence. He will do right by you.

I had a pretty tough case and had worked with a number of different attorneys over the course of 10 years. Jen was the best by far and her staff was always supportive and informative which I definitely appreciated. I will be using Jen moving forward for all of my family legal issues.

I have had quite a devastating month with fighting HARD for my son after my ex surprisingly served me and tried everything to get sole custody. I cant speak more highly of Jennifer Posey and her team. She helped me get exactly what I wanted within 18 hours of learning my case. It brings me to tears. Her professionalism, knowledge, demeanor, and love for her job showed through from the moment I met her. Best decision was to hire her.

Jennifer and her staff are top notch. Jennifer is nononse and knows how to get things done. Her staff is quick and responsive. Posey and associates is a smaller firm so you don't get pushed around from associate to associate. My proceedings took over 3 years and Jennifer was by my side for the entire process.

Jennifer, and really her whole staff, really were so helpful and professional during my legal proceedings. They are a smaller firm who has the time and desire to really dig deep and get to know their clients' situation and really work towards getting you the desired outcome. If you are looking for real personal consultation and representation, I would highly recommend the Posey firm.

I don't even know where to begin! Shopping for lawyers in the beginning of this massive life change was hard enough. Luckily there's still good law firms that put their clients FIRST, and I found them!! Hearing all the lawyer horror stories had me scared and very untrustworthy but Jenn and Joseph were amazing! They took care of and listened to every want, need, and concern I had. Needless to say my divorce went well and I came out successful and unscathed, but only from the hard work Jenn and Joe put into my case. I only put 5 stars because I couldn't find the 10 stars button. THANK YOU!!

Jennifer and her team were extremely responsive, supportive, & dialed-in to the OC court system. They had an excellent strategic approach to my case & helped me to achieve a positive outcome!

I retained Jennifer after my former attorney had failed over an almost two-year period to reach resolution over the division of my federal pension benefits. She immediately took charge of the case and set the stage for a very favorable outcome. This case was complex, as it involved meeting certain requirements set by the federal Office of Personnel Management. Jennifer used her expertise and experience to reach an equitable settlement with opposing counsel. My 2017 and many years hereafter will be better because of the quality and thoroughness of her work on my behalf.

"If you can't beat em, join em!" That's the best way to describe how I came to know Jennifer Posey and Associates. Many years ago, I was working with a friend, who was going through a very contentious divorce, and asked him how it was going. He said everything was going great until my Ex hired a new Attorney. He said the new attorney came into court and turned his ex's ship around and made his attorney look foolish in court. I asked him what her attorney's name was and he said Jennifer Posey. The rest is history, I have been using Jen for my family court issues ever since. I have also referred several friends who have been ever so grateful for the referral.

I was referred to Mrs. Posey from a co-worker and I was immediately impressed with her demeanor and professionalism. I knew right away that I was in good hands. Mrs. Posey KNOWS the law and knows the ins and outs of the court system like no other. She is edgy when needed but always compassionate. She looked out for all of my needs while dealing with difficult legal and court proceedings. I would certainly use her again in the future and I highly recommend her.

I went to Jennifer Posey after going to court with a different attorney and what a difference she made for me. Mrs. Posey is very professional and possesses the knowledge to take on any situation. Going through divorce is a stressful time and with Jennifer’s demeanor and confidence with the task at hand, she makes the situation more manageable with a lot less stress. Mrs. Posey takes the time to learn your case inside and out and works hard to get what you need out of your personal case. She is a very fair and up front person that is not afraid to tell you truthfully how things are going to go in the court room. In my case, I was amazed at her ability and willingness to stand up to another attorney and fight for what was fair for my case. She told me exactly what to expect and that is what happened and more. Jennifer came recommend to me from not just one person in my profession, but 6 people. We all had very similar outcomes and I attribute that to the one thing we all had in common and that is Jennifer Posey. I highly recommend having a consultation with Jennifer before you make any decision in an Attorney. As I was told by 6 other people, you will not be sorry that you did!! Thanks Jennifer for the work that you do, you are truly a difference maker!

If you need a family law attorney...Ms Posey is the BEST. Ms. Posey and her staff are as good as they come. You feel from the beginning as if they are personally vested and are truly being taken care of. She was amazing, level headed and extremely knowledgeable. Ms. Posey has an unbelievable presence about her and was my strength in an emotionally charged situation when I felt depleted and unable to fight for myself. She handles herself with grace and dignity and sticks to the legal facts. The entire staff is wonderful about communication and keeping you updated every step of the way (even helping you through all the crazy legal jargon :) She literally was able to get me every single thing I was hoping for and I am walking away from one of the worst times of my life, completely satisfied and eternally grateful to both Ms. Posey and her wonderful staff. If you want the best in family law, Jennifer Posey is it!!

My divorce in 2003 left me with having to pay lifetime alimony. When the economy crashed in 2008, my income crashed, as well, and I was not able to keep up with my payments. Consulting another atty, I was basically told that there was nothing I could do until I was able to get current with my payments. In 2014, a friend who had used Jennifer, with much success, told me to give her a call. Upon meeting her, I was at once impressed by her knowledge, her honesty, aggressiveness, and great personality. I was SO glad to have her on my side. She has been in the arena for many, many years and it was very evident when the court date arrived. She was miles above the atty on the other side. In fact, we never went in front of the judge. Jennifer was able to negotiate everything without ever stepping inside the court room. In the end, my alimony was terminated. I had to pay some arrears and a lump sum step-down payment, but much less than the other side was pushing for. I am very please to have been represented by Jennifer. I would refer her to anyone seeking representation by a true professional.

The legal process was overwhelming to me. I had a different family attorney before her, so I can say that it makes a huge difference if you have bad or good representation. After initially meeting with Jennifer, I felt like I was in good hands. She is very knowledgeable and explained to me my rights and best practices for my actions to get results. I cannot say enough things about she helped me through this process. She is direct and set reasonable expectations for me. Most of all, she was quick in directing opposing counsel to make a decision and not drag on with unnecessary proceedings. In the time at the court house, it was obvious she is very highly respected among her legal peers and presiding Judges. I always had confidence that my best interests were front and center in every negotiation. I will be a client of hers for life!!! (Or at least if I ever have to go through this process again.)
