Posted by anonymous | October 14, 2020 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Super trustworthy and polite, highly recommended

Recently, I tried to contact Jessica for consultation regarding one of my legal needs and I found her super trustworthy and she is highly knowledgeable. I will recommend her further to those people who really need some genuine lawyer in the market. Highly recommended.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Recommend Highly

We are a group of physicians who used Attn Block's services over the past 6 months through 3 significant disagreements with a prior organization. It was like watching a fine surgeon as she navigated through the bluff and bluster to achieve successful outcomes for all our issues. In the first disagree...ment she understood the contract and our rights enabling recoupment of income and avoiding for-cause termination. This was also a very emotional time and she steered through the landmines of anger and revenge with her diplomacy skills working on all sides to a place of calm satisfaction. The second disagreement required negotiating between 3 parties and again she was able to prevail. The third was around complex financial settlements and she was able to help us find the middle ground of getting our money without excessive legal fees. I highly recommend Jessica for her professional knowledge and experience in the law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
