What a difference the right attorney makes!

After a disappointing experience with another attorney, I turned to Jessica Pritchard. What a difference the right attorney makes! She is extremely hard working, knowledgeable, and professional. I appreciate her candidness regarding expectations and outcomes. She doesn't tell me what i want to he...ar, she tells me what I need to hear. Divorce is an extremely complicated, difficult, and emotional time. It is important to have an attorney with a compassionate but no nonsense attitude to walk you through the process. Jessica and her paralegal, Dana, have kept me informed of important developments every step of the way. If you are looking for an attorney who will work hard to get you the best settlement possible, Jessica will not disappoint you.

Number 1 reccommendation!

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Jessica during the course of my divorce. I found her nothing but professional and straight forward. She has a no-nonsense, common sense approach to handling the divorce process and is EXTREMELY knowledgeable in all matters of divorce, especially support and e...quitable distribution. She, as well as her assistant Dana, always kept me apprised of all matters as well as responsive to all my questions and concerns. After my divorce was final, I obtained a position where I am able to see first hand how divorce attorneys present themselves in court. I know with 100% certainty that I made the absolute best decision in selecting Jessica. I am now also asked for recommendations on divorce attorneys in Bucks County and Jessica is always, without reservation, my number one choice.

A bit underwhelmed

I called the office and was immediately told the initial consultation for 1 hour would be $300. Right off the bat I thought this was unusual as initial consultations are normally free, but I figured this attorney has excellent reviews so let's see what she has to say given my situation. While she... was professional and knowledgeable, I felt there was very little strategic options presented to me. It was all cut and dry and basically, suck it up because as a man you will be getting the shaft regardless of whether your ex had an extramarital affair and left the household. If divorce is such a cookie cutter process, then why ask me for a $6000 retainer at the end of the session? It seems like you simply plug in the income values for both parties and you get a number for child and spousal support. This takes 5 minutes. I realize I am simplifying things, but the deck is stacked against any man who is the breadwinner. An unfortunate learning. In any event, I am sure she is a very good lawyer, but with no strategic options or guidance, I was not too impressed.

Professionalism, Strength and Knowledge

Jessica did a phenomenal job for me throughout this very difficult divorce. She explained everything that was going to happen and was supportive and realistic. Her team worked quickly to create a cohesive agreement out of my very disorganized financial information and answered my many questions tha...t came up through the process. Having Jessica on my side made me feel empowered due to her level of knowledge and experience with the law and courts in Bucks County.

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.
