She made it so bearable!

My divorce should have been simple, but my ex decided to drag it out for an obscene amount of time. Jessica did an amazing job of assuring me that it would be okay and that having to wait so long wouldn't ruin my ability to get it done. She also did a great job of handling their stall nonsense in a l...evel-headed and professional way. She was kind, available, and honestly very impressive as a legal expert. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words. I know how stressful and drawn-out the divorce process can feel, and I am so glad I was able to provide steady guidance and support throughout. Your trust means a great deal to us.

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!

Exceptional attorney

Jessica was outstanding every step of the way with the child custody/adoption process. She was always available. She is dedicated to seeing the process to the end. I would highly recommend her services.

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 !
