Jessie

I am very pleased with the service of Raver Rawlings & Parker PLLC. I find my lawyer, Jessie, very knowledgeable. She stays on top of things, keeps me in the loop of any topics or changes I need to be aware of. My situation is fighting for custody of my grandchildren who were experiencing a life o...f so much violence and uncertainties. Although the custody is still ongoing till the final hearing, Jessie has done so much to help me keep them in a consistently safe environment.

Review

Jessie is a phenomenal family attorney. You can tell she is very dedicated to what she does & is always very responsive to my concerns. She is also very motivated in the courtroom & has never let me down. Hands down, would recommend her to anyone needing any type of family law attorney.

Professional, knowledgeable and responsive

Jessie was fantastic. She knew the legal workings and if did not know or was unsure, found out definitivily in a timely manner. Her guidance and advice enabled me to do things multiple attorneys said could not be done. Trust what she tells you, check in with her before doing things and wait for a... resoonse as she will get back with you. I cannot say enough about the legal expertise and counsel she provided.

Praise for Jessie Minerich

When a lawsuit was filed against me and my business, I found myself in need of a lawyer. Ms. Minerich came highly recommended to me by her former professor, as she was one of his star students. It appears she excels both in the classroom and out. I couldn't be happier with the overall services and... representation that Ms. Minerich provided. She's smart, knowledgeable, hardworking, friendly, great with communication, technologically savvy, and tough in the courtroom. She thoroughly researched and investigated the details of my case, was quick to read and respond to my many emails, skillfully authored briefs and other legal documents, filed any and all paperwork on my behalf, and represented me in court when necessary. Everything about working with her was easy, down to being able to pay my bill online. I admit that most of her time was probably spent explaining things to me and simply showing her support for me throughout what was a very stressful situation. I can't imagine how I could have been any more pleased with another lawyer, and I can't think in what way you could be dissatisfied with her services should you require legal representation. If you want a lawyer who is going to fight hard for your interests, carefully thinks out all strategies and options, and is great at working both for and with you, you can't go wrong with Jessie Minerich.
