Posted by Cheryl Starks | May 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody (Parent vs Grandparent)

I hired Jessica on behalf of my son for a custody case. My son was trying to get custody against the maternal grandmother. One would think this is a slam dunk type case for a parent to get custody but unfortunately, it's not. Jessica worked on this case for a little over a year and did a great job... based on the circumstances. We had a GAL who recommended that the grandmother get custody of the child but her recommendation had nothing to do with understanding of the law. Jessica was extremely passionate about this case and I would say she was amazing in trying to overcome so many obstacles that should not have been apart of this case. I would highly recommend Jessica as a Father's Rights Attorney.

Client

Jessica is very knowledgeable about the law in regards to divorce and child support. She was always very open and honest with me and my case. She was prompt in responding to me and all my questions.

All results are different and they can never be guaranteed. I am glad you are satisfied with your result.

Very good in handling the issues and being upfront

Jessica actually did me a favor by taking my case. I could have used other lawyers, but would have shorted myself. She is honest with you about your situation, tells you what to expect, and fights for you. She protected my rights as a father, who had done nothing wrong, against someone who had been... working with "big name" lawyers to paint me in a negative light and build a divorce case against me for almost a year, without my knowledge. She had multiple lawyers as opponents for my case and was on top of the application of law and facts in a manner which almost made me feel embarrassed for them.

Thank you for this review. While all cases are different and no specific result can be guaranteed I appreciate your kind words.

Great job!

Jessica represented me in my divorce and did a terrific job. She recommended I consult with a certified divorce financial planner she'd worked with, and he helped me tremendously. Then Jessica worked with me to create a fair settlement and to execute it without dragging on, AND without going to cou...rt. Her paralegal Kerry also was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Jessica without hesitation.

WARNING: Do NOT hire this attorney!

We hired Jessica for my civil case based upon these ratings...they are skewed. Jessica did not show dedication to our case or compassion to me as a client. Her responsiveness and communication to me regarding my case was negligible. She also did not hold up to her end of specific items in HER own ...contract. Jessica did not listen to my concerns or thoughts on strategic decisions regarding my case, which resulted in a lot of wasted time and money. There are too many other good, hardworking, compassionate attorneys to choose from. Please do not make the same mistake I did by hiring this attorney.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
