Review for Jacqueline Moss

Jacqueline was always thorough, thoughtful, and tenacious. Despite the fact that my case dragged on for years, I never felt rushed by Jackie to settle for an unsatisfactory result. I also appreciate the fact that Jackie advocated for my child's best interest in a difficult custody dispute. Jackie ...worked well with the guardian ad litem, therapists, and other professionals who had input on the best course of action for my child.

An attorney with honesty and integrity. Highly recommended!

Jacqueline is a fantastic lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone dealing with divorce and child custody issues. She was always very honest and up-front with me about everything and I never felt like I was out of the loop. Though she would ultimately do what I asked of her, she would push back whe...n she didn't agree with something I was saying. This was very important to me because family court can be very emotional and I needed someone in my corner who could see the big picture and not get lost in the weeds. Specifically, Jackie handled all the paperwork and went to the status conferences in my place. We would chat beforehand and afterward, but I was able to avoid the stressful experience of hearing the other side. She would receive all the emails from the opposing counsel and deal with them accordingly, only bringing me in the loop when necessary. This was exactly what I wanted in a lawyer and she delivered. Jackie is also very kind and compassionate, which was also very important to me during such a contentious time. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone who values honesty and integrity. She didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but she always told me what I needed to hear. I felt like she had my back and she'll be the first person I call if something comes up again.

I feel like I can breath again!

Jacqueline Moss represented me in my child support and parental rights modifications. Jackie went above and beyond to listen to not only me, but my family as well. I suffer from anxiety issues. Jackie was there to help me through all of my anxiety and calm me down. Even if it was her telling me the s...ame things over and over that I needed to hear. What I am most thankful for is Jackie helping me keep my son safe! Jackie is very nice and caring. Jackie always had a smile and a gentle voice. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their divorce and child custody. I am forever thankful for all Jackie has done!

Divorce with child

My case was very difficult. I had a divorce with children and Jackie was amazing.. she took me on at last minute and was very patient with me with all the questions I was asking her. In my eyes I won my case because of Jackie.. If it was not for her as my lawyer I think I would of had a harder time ...winning my case and a lot more stress. If you are looking for a lawyer that listens,answers questions, and can lean on during court Jackie is the right lawyer. I would definitely hire her again in the future if I need another lawyer.

She's the BEST!!

I was referred to Jacqueline and the Maine Community Lawyers Project via an attorney friend of mine. Upon first meeting I felt immediately comfortable discussing my case (custodial/parental rights- infant daughter) with Jacqueline. She was open to listen and willing to process with me throughout, a...lways asking what my goals were and keeping me focused on what was best for my child. She was supportive and fought hard to get everything I had hoped for re: visitation, parental rights and cooperation from my ex. I felt respected, justified in my concerns and a certain comfort in knowing I was working with a professional attorney who knew what to do and how to do it. Jacqueline is clearly passionate about helping families reach positive resolve. I can't thank her enough.
