Awesome guy he is!

I have known Jesse for over 3 years since he helped me on my case. I'm a Korean and my case was a kind of complex international law case. While he was handling my family case, he was a trustworthy and very reliable person who accomplishes tasks given to him. He responded with full information and w...ith timely manner to produce our best result. I wish Jesse all the success and, to my own observation, I strongly recommend him.

Review for Jesse

Jesse is an excellent attorney who diligently persues every avenue of possibility when helping determine the best outcome for his client. He has a unique ability of cutting through the legal jargon and explaining how things are in real terms. He will not be pushed around by opponents or clients in a ...genuine effort to do whats right. What first struck me about Jesse was that before we had paid a dime he went to great pains to explain what kind of lawyer he was to ensure we had the right fit. I was extremely grateful that his honosty (a rare quality these days) helped us through what was a very difficult case in which the right thing was ultimately achieved. I would highly recommend Jesse and would use him again in a heartbeat

Jesse worked hard for me.

I am a divorced father of 4 who has been battling a vindictive ex wife for 20 years. I hired Jesse in 2011 to represent me in a support modification proceeding in Allegheny County. With his guidance, I was able to finally achieve an APPROPRIATE AND FAIR adjusted support amount . His knowledge and exp...erience along with his fine reputation with the courts allowed us to present the evidence in a way that was completely forthright and honest thereby creating the necessary credibility for a proper verdict. We were able to achieve a 35% reduction in monthly support. That was no small accomplishment and I was very happy with the outcome. Further, my ex wife had no complaints as she realized it was a fair decision based upon all the evidence that Jesse so skillfully presented. I would be happy to recommend Jesse to anyone and find much comfort in knowing that he is still on my team should I need him again in the future.

Jesse helped me through a very difficult time whit many delicate matters. His expertise, knowledge and caring nature really made me feel better about a horrible situation.

Recommedation for Attorney Weidaw

Jesse successfully completed my divorce case involving alimony, business ownership, valuation issues and tax complications against an extremely aggressive and difficult opposing counsel. Jesse knew the navigation required in the courtroom - he was confident, cost-effective, and savvy yet pragmatic ab...out when to fight and when to compromise. I hope to never end up in the divorce predicament again - but Jesse certainly gets my recommendation for guidance, planning and negotiation. G
