Jessica has been handling legal work for our family for over 15 years now and we have never been let down. She is a knowledgeable legal partner who helped us with myriad legal matters including a business acquisition and contracts, and full support throughout the entire estate execution process. She is a firm and clear communicator and very approachable. My family and I highly recommend Jessica.
Ms. Gulash responded to my outreach on the same day I reached out to her. She took the time to listen to my matter and explained the options I had, including options that did not directly benefit her. I ended up hiring Ms. Gulash, and was 100% satisfied with her handling of my case and was able to get my issue resolved with a better than expected outcome. I would absolutely recommend her!
I litigate business disputes, the collection of secured and unsecured accounts receivable, contract disputes, injunctions, and real estate matters. I have effectively represented creditors in Chapter 13, Chapter 11, and Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I approach litigation in an aggressive, result-oriented manner.

Smart, Professional, Trustworthy!
I have had the pleasure of working with Jess on a few issues and have always found her to be very professional and really smart! She has worked with me to offer various suggestions on how to handle a specific situation and listened to what I wanted instead of forcing her opinion on me. I appreciated her open and honest behavior and would recommend her to anyone!

Highly recommend
I have used Ms. Gulash from both a consultative and hired perspective. The advice given was always intuitive and helpful. Ms. Gulash was very thorough and had my best interests in mind. I felt as if she had my back and would even suggest another lawyer if she felt that best suited my immediate needs for the matter at hand. I have referred her to others because of my confidence in her abilities.

Jessica is as professional as they come. She truly took ownership of our legal challenges and we achieved the desired effect and accomplished our goals. She is personable, breaks down any legal jargon, or law in ways that I believe anyone could understand. Jessica has integrity and truly cares. Without hesitation she has my strongest possible recommendation to be your legal representation.

Great services and results
Our company didn't have legal representation/council in Philadelphia, so we went online looking for a local attorney to help us in a collection case. We contacted a few law firms and noticed how Jessica stood out with great response time and thorough understanding our business needs. She was quickly able to determine viability for our case and also put together an engagement model to act accordingly. Jessica took over from that point on negotiating in a professional, effective, and timely manner. We could not be happier with the results!

Honest, understanding, and amazingly helpful!
We needed someone to help us with a contract dispute between our family and a business. During our introductory phone call with Jessica, we discussed our approach of trying to resolve the situation on our own and we were willing to negotiation to a mutually acceptable outcome. After several weeks of trying, the business continued to refuse to discuss any reasonable resolution.
Jessica was direct, thoughtful, extremely well informed on contract law in PA, specifically given our situation was likely outside of the "norm". Furthermore, Jessica's turnaround time on everything we asked was fast and accurate.
Although the initial business situation we found ourselves in prior to meeting Jessica was less than favorable, I am a bit ashamed to say that I am glad it happened because now I know a GREAT attorney to help us with the sticky contract situations that sometimes life throws our way.
Not only would I recommend Jessica but I know we would not hesitate working with her again if the need arises.

Unprofessional
After receiving information from a land surveyor that her materials had not arrived, to which I apologized to the surveyor, Attny Gulash "thought it best" to leave the case feeling insulted and insisting she had sent them to you. Immature and unprofessional. (thousands of dollars were already paid).
Response from Jessica GulashJuly 21, 2021
I was ethically required to withdraw from representing this client because it became clear that the client and I did not agree upon the best course of action for the litigation.

Clueless and arrogant
Does nothing but talk over you.
Lack of focus and competence. The experience was a string of horrible blunders, complete mismanagement of my case, and a costly lawsuit.
Another reviewer described her as immature. Couldn't agree more. Like a petulant child. Totally unprofessional and reckless.

Do not use this firm
I initially consulted with this lawyer and firm for a landlord tenant issue. I signed an agreement and paid the retainer. I was told that day this lawyer would message opposing counsel and get started right away. Well that was over two weeks ago and i get an email stating “We have been advised this morning that we have a conflict in this matter that did not show up during our initial conflict check. As such, our firm unfortunately won’t be able to represent you. ” This whole time i’m thinking this lawyer was working diligently for me to find out not one thing has been done. To top it all off... I then received an email from opposing counsels lawyer stating the first response this lawyer provided was that she never represented me. Now i have court shortly and i’m out the money and representation after trusting this firm.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"In a recent commercial litigation matter, it was so refreshing to deal with a true professional advocate, litigator, who represented their client with zeal, and advocated honestly in good faith. For any conflicts, Jessica is on the top of my list for referrals. Also, I would highly recommend Jessica to handle cases in areas of law I do not concentrate in. A true professional attorney."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Jess is a gifted attorney - equal parts intelligence, tenacity, and good judgment. I have worked with her on matters for almost 5 years now, and I turn to her often for advice (especially when confronted with difficult contract or estate questions). I would highly recommend her to handle your estate matter or commercial dispute."
Litigation Attorney | Mar 14
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Jessica was opposing counsel on a banking litigation matter. Jessica was a open minded, a pleasuer to deal with, and always had her client's best interests in mind, all of which I believe allowed the parties to amicably resolve the matter. I would recommend Jessica."
