Absolute pleasure and treasure to work with

I entered into my divorce hearing all sorts of horror stories from others and knew I needed a lawyer. After reviewing several reviews of a variety of firms, I decided to go with FLAG and was assigned Jessica as my lawyer. From the first meet & greet, I felt I was in the hands of someone with experien...ce, compassion, and responsiveness - all the qualities I hoped for in this scary, unknown chapter of my life. Through the entire process, Jessica has always been quick to answer my questions in detail and offered excellent advice at every step. I am very happy to say that with her help and guidance, we managed to reach an uncontested divorce that everyone was happy with! I fully recommend Jessica for anyone that finds themselves going through the life challenge of a divorce!

Best is an understatement!

I can’t say enough good things about Jessica. She helped me through one of the most difficult and emotional times of my life, my divorce and custody case. From the beginning, Jessica was not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, compassionate, and genuinely supportive. Je...ssica never made me feel like just another client. She treated me like a real person, like a friend, and that made all the difference. She walked me through every step of the process, made sure I understood everything, and always made sure I felt comfortable and confident in every decision. She stood by me all the way to the end and truly had my back. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance, patience, and dedication. If you’re looking for an attorney who is both skilled and truly cares, LOOK NO FURTHER! Jessica is the one.

Jessica keister is a fantastic attorney!

Ms. Jessica keister is a fantastic attorney! She cares so much about her clients ! She helped me with my divorce and was both professional and empathetic. She kept me informed every step of the way through the process . Not only was she supportive, but she took a lot of time to explain those things I... didn't completely understand. Her advice was on point and led to a good outcome for me and my family for which I am grateful. Thank you so much Ms. Jessica keister. I highly recommend her !
