Financial Advisor

Jessica combines a high level of "real world" empathy and experience to her legal expertise. She is an excellent listener and cares deeply about her clients always putting their best interests at the forefront of her practice. She establishes clear expectations about the cost of her services and brea...ks down complex legal concepts so they are easy to understand. Importantly, she collaborates effectively with other professionals such as tax and financial advisors. Jessica is a fine attorney and anyone would be well-served having her in their corner.

Knowledgeable, detail-oriented while personable

It was an emotional time for us as we manuevered through my husband’s medical situation. Jessica was understanding and personable while dealing with us, yet she maintained the utmost in professionalism. I am confident in her accuracy and abilty to uphold the letter of the law.

Efficient and thorough

Jessica helped me with probate matters, power of attorney work and assisted in estate settlement. Good, friendly, thorough, efficient. I plan to hire her again for more estate planning.

Posted by Janna | October 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Thoughtful and knowledgeable

During the intense time of estate planning for my mother, it was reassuring and calming to have Jessica guide the process. Her presence brings one ease during a very difficult time. Not only is she gifted at her craft but she is authentic, caring and reassuring. Jessica puts all other lawyers I’ve wo...rked with to shame, and I’ll continue to recommend her to friends, family and colleagues.

Fabulous Attorney

Attorney Hernstadt has performed many legal tasks for me from estate planning to real estate closings. She has presented herself as knowledgeable, professional and caring. She has been effective and efficient in her service delivery. I would highly recommend her!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
