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.

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.

Unsurpassed Attorney

Jessica Frost came very highly recommended to me when I needed a divorce attorney. In the beginning she asked many questions and gathered as much documentation as possible about the situation my children & I were in. She was always very open and honest giving excellent advice as to how to handle cert...ain situations and she never sugar-coated things which helped to keep my guard up and expect the unexpected. She kept the safety of my children and I a top priority at all times. Her recommendations were always spot on to keep the case in our favor and she remained one step ahead of the game. Her diligence and experience allowed her to anticipate things before they happened, helping to be more prepared as situations would arise. Her honesty and integrity set her apart in her field. I would recommend Jessica Frost to anyone in need of a family law attorney!

Jessica Frost review

I was referred to Jessica almost four years ago, and she patiently worked with me in a post-divorce agreement and child support modification case that lasted much longer than either of us anticipated. I appreciated her ability to relate to me in layman's terms, and to share information in a way that... I could make the best decisions possible as we proceeded. I was very satisfied with the outcomes of the case.

I was very satisfied with Jessica Frost

I found Jessica very easy to work with and very knowledgeable. She always kept me informed and returned my calls and emails in a very timely manner. I always felt that my case was as important to her as it was to me and was satisfied that it was being handled in the best possible manner. I was extrem...ely satisfied with the outcome of my case and would use her again if I find myself in need of an attorney.
