ADOPTION WAS A SUCCESS!

Jessica Sax is an excellent attorney in family law. She did an amazing job, met with us at mutually convenient location and time, and definitely stepped up in the court room. When things could have been rough; she clearly explained options, possibilities and recommendations to help us come up with mu...tual agreements.

Bias

So Jessica is representing my daughter in a family case and I did in fact get irate with her staff, which is unexceptionable. I sincerely do apologize for that. What I have a problem with is I called her office to talk about my daughters case and I was told to get a lawyer. That’s it, just get a lawy...er. She made made me feel all alone and abandoned, considering my child’s father is doing the same.

Highly Recommend!

I was extremely nervous about going to family court and I hired Jessica Saks after she was recommended by a few people. We were extremely impressed by her knowledge base and professionalism. I feel like she guided me and gave me the sound advice I needed. She did a fantastic job in the court room, g...etting me favorable results with my case. Hopefully we won’t need to go to family court again but if we do I know I’ll be using Jessica again for representation. I highly recommend her!

Ms. Saks claimed she could not win my case.

TOMPKINS County assigned Jessica Saks to represent me on a family court matter brought against me. I waisted my time and gas to drive to the Watkins Glen Court House to me her. I was appalled to think an attorney would even walk into a court house to meet a client dressed the way she was...that... was my first impression. She reviewed my case and stated she could not win it or get it dismissed. I could have own the case myself if Judge Rowley was not bias against me for years. I was very upset when leaving the court house thinking to myself how did this woman even pass the bar exam. A friend of mine hired Dirk Oudermool, Esq. from Syracuse to represent me as the defendant in this case brought against me by the foster father who adopted my three grandchildren while I fought for them. Dirk did not only win the case, get the order dismissed, but also saw the gross bias that Judge Rowley has against me. Attorney's like Ms. Saks should be responsible for paying the fees when they take a case they can not win. This would get alotvof lazy court appointed attorney's out of our family court system. It is no wonder why are families are being devided by the Family Court System when attorney's like Jessica Saks are being appointed to cases.
