Contesting Alimony

I needed to find an attorney in Bucks County to contest my alimony payments since I had gathered a fair amount of evidence to prove she was living with her boyfriend. I reached out to a friend who works for an attorney in Montgomery County and they strongly recommended Jessica since she works in Buck...s County and she has extensive experience in Family Law, which was exactly what I needed. After I had a brief phone call with Jessica explaining my situation, we set a consultation. It was during this time I explained everything I had in detail, and she explained everything to me regarding the legal process as well as the financial aspect too. After we filed with the court and received a date, my ex was served her papers. My ex decided to hire an attorney and with in two days of being served they sent Jessica a very substantial offer to settle. After a talking to Jessica about all aspects of the offer we decided to accept their offer. I was very pleased with the settlement agreement and how fast everything was completed. I strongly believe Jessica's knowledge and experience in Family Law, as well as her reputation in the Bucks County legal community played a HUGE role in how fast my ex and her attorney decided to settle. Going through something like this is never a cheap endeavor, but Jessica was always very aware of the financial impact on my end. She did a very good job laying out a plan to be very efficient in her approach and with our communication, so I was able to achieve my goal, without racking up a huge bill in the process. For me, I found Jessica very knowledgeable, well respected, and easy to work with. All of which played a part in me receiving a quick settlement that I was very happy with. If you're in the unfortunate situation of needing a Family Law specialist, I would highly recommend Jessica, she did a great job for me.

Highly recommended. Exceptionally​ skilled.

Jessica is exceptionally bright and is very quick to hone in on details that matter. Her command of the law is first class. What truly sets Jessica apart is her emotional intelligence. She has a keen ability to read, understand and evaluate the temperament, attitude and complexities of varying partie...s, including children. Often hard conversations are necessary. Jessica is direct and understanding. She can handle the emotionally charged dynamics that accompany these cases while conveying facts, strategy​ and best possible outcomes. Jessica was always prepared and never seemed to bring anything but her "A" game. I recommend her highly.

Excellent family law attorney

Jessica helped me with my child custody case. I found her when my previous attorney retired, and now wish I found her sooner. She has helped me in two separate incidents over approximately three years. Both cases ended with positive results. She made me feel very comfortable, and knew every detai...l about my situation. I trust her and appreciate everything she has done for me. If you need an attorney for family matters, she would be my only choice!

Always looked out for my best interests

I retained Jessica last summer, as it was inevitable my marriage was ending in divorce. Jessica was extremely helpful and patient and explained exactly how this process worked to me. A divorce brings forth many emotions.. feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused and a great fear of the unknown. Jessic...a was fantastic in working with me and always had my best interests at heart. She guided me on the best actions for myself, my finances and my children in my marital and custody statement. I felt very secure with Jessica looking out for me and am very pleased at the final result. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a qualified, caring family attorney.

Outstanding Attorney & Highly Recommended

Unfortunately I found myself in need of a divorce attorney, but fortunately I retained Jessica. From our initial consultation to the final decree Jessica was on top of my case. Throughout the three year ordeal I found Jessica to possess a complete array of positive attributes that not only make her a...n outstanding attorney, but a wonderful person as well. I found her to be professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, thorough, assertive, reassuring, supportive, and funny! She guided me through my options and had answers and suggestions for any questions or concerns. Both she and her staff were always available even on short notice. In conclusion I recommend anyone facing litigation regarding a family issue in the area to hire Jessica Pritchard.
