About Jessica

Learn Jessica’s areas of practice.

My practice is focused on helping clients with bankruptcy and family law matters. I recognize that most individuals who have legal needs relating to bankruptcy or family law matters are potentially experiencing stressful and emotional times.  As such, I focus my practice on helping individuals with their legal matter by providing sensitive and caring attention to my clients when they need it most. I believe that every client deserves personal attention directly from the attorney they retain.

 

Before opening my law firm, I was an attorney at Thompson, Meier & King, P.C. in Canton, Georgia for three years. In my capacity as an attorney there, I represented the Cherokee County Department of Family and Children Services in dependency proceedings in Juvenile Court, and I also represented clients in bankruptcy and family law matters. Prior to that, I worked for a small civil firm in Alpharetta, Georgia where I focused my practice on bankruptcy, family law, and civil litigation matters.

 

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Before starting high school, my family relocated to Yorktown, Virginia where I lived until moving to Atlanta, Georgia to attend Emory University. In 2003, I graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. In 2007, I graduated from St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami, Florida. During law school, I spent a summer semester abroad at the Royal College University, Escorial Maria Cristina in El Escorial, Spain. After completing the summer semester, I had the opportunity to travel across Europe, adding to the list of countries I have visited. So far, the list of countries includes Austria, England, Holland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain. After graduating from law school, I returned to Atlanta, Georgia to begin my legal career.

Grandparents Rights
Georgia Law does not favor grandparents; Jessica worked with us in two separate grandparents rights cases. She negotiated a custody agreement and reasonable visitation agreement with the parents of our grandchildren. She has been a blessing to work with and understands how to navigate the difficulties of family law with compassion and expediency.

Stellar Experience
Navigating a legal matter related to child custody can be gut-wrenching for anyone who's had to go through it. I didn't know what to expect, or even if the possibility of a positive outcome was likely. I read all of the reviews for family law attorneys in my area, and I am ever convinced that I made the right decision. Jessica Chapman was honest, straight-forward, and a great listener. There was no "telling me what I wanted to hear," but rather providing the help that I needed navigating my options. I greatly appreciated Mrs. Chapman's honesty, superb understanding of the legal process in my case, and all-around expertise from the first phone call to the final resolution. Mrs. Chapman was there for me and my son throughout every step of the way. From answering my questions with viable options based upon her real world experience, to actually working my case with expert skill, there was nothing in the service provided during such a stressful time that I would change at all. I saw how the opposing attorney conducted herself, and Mrs. Chapman's ability, humanity, and all-around legal knowledge was highlighted even further in comparison. Again, I would not change a thing, and I have the utmost confidence in Jessica Chapman as a true, honest-to-God professional. Saying that I won my custody case doesn't fully paint the picture of the outcome. My son won, and he and I will be forever grateful. If you have any questions regarding a family law matter, do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Jessica Chapman. I cannot stress enough how much I got from even just the consultation. There are attorneys out there with skill who actually care, and Mrs. Chapman, from my own experience, is at the top of the list.

Top Notch Attorney!
My journey with Jessica, in family court over the custody of my child, began in 2015. After much research I decided to hire Jessica because she came highly recommended and had an extensive history representing children for DFCS. Once meeting with Jessica I knew she was the perfect match for what I was looking for. Every call, email or meeting I had with Jessica she always took the time to listen to my concerns without rushing me. As we all know when dealing with our children’s best interest and making the right decisions for them the stress levels quickly go up. So therefore I, as a parent tend to want to attack but Jessica always maintained her composure and gave me her honest professional legal advice as well as helping me to continue to see the full picture of what we were dealing with. In 2015 I had no idea what I was walking into but Jessica did a great job of making herself available and spending the necessary time going over every option and scenario with myself and my family. This case came to a close and I was very happy with the end result. I then had to hire Jessica again in 2018 when I relocated my family out of state. Returning to the courtroom to receive the judges approval to move my daughter out of state made me very nervous and scared. Jessica was immediately available to take my case and get to work very quickly. She guided me through the long process step by step with extreme compassion and professionalism. Having Jessica on my side has been a blessing beyond my initial expectations. Although I don’t wish custody court on any family I would highly recommend Jessica. You won’t find a better attorney with the determination, intelligence, compassion, knowledge, experience and poise like you will find in Jessica.

Easy to work with, affordable, and got it done!
I hired Jessica to complete a minor child name change and it went very smooth. She explained the process to me and kept me in the loop during the brief period prior to trial. Jessica was easy to work with; no ego, professional, concise, and did not charge an arm and a leg. Hopefully I have no other civil matters to tend to in the future but if I do, I will definitely consult Jessica first. I would highly recommend Jessica for any civil matters as she was very easy to work with and made things simple for me.

Very Thankful for Jessica
Obviously there is nothing fun or easy about going through a divorce, but I was beyond grateful to have Jessica on my side. I have never sat with a lawyer previously and was completely clueless to the process. I received thorough information before each phase and never left a conversation thinking "what was she talking about?" My divorce was straight forward and even the judge at my final hearing complimented Jessica on how put together everything was. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking to go through a divorce.

Very caring and helpful
Nobody ever wants to see their attorney, but I look forward to seeing her for help with my life events. She cares about my family and puts that passion into practice. She returns calls/emails promptly She explains things in common terms She fights for my family's needs and even helped with wills even though she does not do them often. I feel confident in her abilities to get what I need done right. Thank you Jessica for being my advocate for things that are complicated and stressful.

First Class Experience
When searching for a lawyer to help me navigate my divorce, Jessica's profile struck the right chords. For me it was equally important to have someone who was not only experienced and highly competent, but also someone I could easily relate to and have those heart to heart talks with on such a difficult matter. Jessica was always responsive and took the time to provide prudent guidance at every step. Her attention to detail was clearly evident during the mediation process inserting important items into the final agreement that were missed by opposing counsel. I was always confident she had my back. My divorce concluded with a result that I am very pleased with given my particular circumstances. Jessica is smart, approachable, highly competent, and an overall wonderful person to work with.

Family law
Jessica was a wonderful lawyer. She was professional and understanding. She did what she said she was going to do, all while keeping my requests in mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is having to go through the hardship of divorce. She made such a rough time easy for me.

First Time
This was my first experience with any lawyer's services. Pleased with outcome of divorce case - mediator did fantastic job - however, I was dissappointed with the lack of information I received to prepare me for each step in the process.
