About Jessica
Biography
I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I was one of the few students in Stetson University’s history to be accepted into the 3 + 3 program, which is an accelerated track that allows students with outstanding credentials to be approved for early admission to the Stetson College of Law. While pursuing my Juris Doctor Degree at Stetson College of Law, I served as secretary of Stetson’s Hispanic Bar Association. Being the mother of a young child, I understand the emotional strain that divorce and custody proceeding have on parents. I strive to be a caring and compassionate attorney while zealously advocating for my client’s rights. Additionally, I am fluent in Spanish.

Horrible
Hired Jessica back in 2018, had last minute notice of my emergency hearing, couldn't physically attend because of the last minute notice (that i should of had ample time to not only respond to but also attend). Then she proceeded to go to this hearing without the any of the proof i gave her to object...

Replied last February 06, 2024Unfortunately, since this is posted anonymously, I am unable to accurately respond and refute these allegations. However, I believe I have an idea of which case this could be based on the limited details provided and my review of new clients in 2018. The notice of the hearing was actually sent directly to the client prior to my representation and provided 2 weeks' notice of the hearing. The client resided out of state and therefore believed it was short notice, however, she was granted the ability to appear by phone. The client was unhappy a hearing was set so quickly, despite my explanation of the process when an emergency motion is filed. This person also does not comment on the results of the hearing, which the opposing side's emergency motion was denied despite my lack of "savviness". Retainers are not refundable which is clearly stated on the contract, especially once work has been completed and the client unreasonably terminates services because their capability to understand the court's procedural process are limited.

We feel the case could have gotten more detailed & Jessica got warn out on the drama & kept it simple for herself. We felt treated unfairly but dealt with the outcome due to having no further financial funds to invest in further review or to hire another attorney.

Replied last February 14, 2017While I understand this is your opinion it is highly inaccurate and find it necessary to respond. I was hired to accomplish 3 things for the client as requested in the Supplemental Petition and did that and more. 1. Modify the time sharing with the client having his son as primary and liberal time with his daughter, which I accomplished with a schedule he agreed to free and voluntarily. 2. Request the tax dependency for his son, which I accomplished and he now has. 3. Modify child support, which I did (cut into half) and accomplished having $17,000 in arrears waived, which the court would not have done otherwise since he did not file for modification until 2013 and owed $14,000 plus prior to filing. I never gave up because of the "drama" and saw the case through to the end. I negotiated effectively to provide the best settlement that was much more than the client would have received at the final hearing. I kept him informed, answered all his questions, followed up his concerns and ensured he understood the agreement and was content. In addition, I resolved the case in a timely manner (7 months) and at no time requested additional funds for further review or work.

GREAT CHOICE
I had a tough case and I ended up coming out with more than I expected. She answered questions in a timely matter. Worked late nights on my case as well.

Jessica is very professional yet very personable. She shows passion for what she does and she is very knowledgeable. Her prices are affordable and most importantly she is easy to reach. The outcome of my cases was favorable because she seeks justice
