Jessica Felix expert lawyer that will help you!

Few years back I retained Mrs. Felix for my divorce proceedings. What was a godsend in my opinion because I happened upon her on other business in the courthouse and she overheard my conversation and made a suggestion that three other attorneys had no idea about. Something that was new and a critical... tipping point for my custody case. Within 2 hours I was in her office and we went over my divorce and custody case and I immediately retained her. That was the best decision I’ve made on any legal matter in my life. She was so knowledgeable about the laws and Florida statutes new and old on the books and she used every tool in her arsenal to get the job done. Being a male in the midst of a custody battle the courts are biased but this was of no concern to her and she achieved everything I was seeking to complete and very quickly. Also Mrs. Felix was available by cel to me nearly every time I called and she had the answers. When you’re going through a divorce with children it’s a very tough issue to get through nobody wants to go through it but Jessica Felix handled it with the most efficient and professional manner I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with to win my case. highly recommend you give her a shot because it was worth every penny I had to pay and she got the job done! Looking for the best hire Jessica Felix.

The BEST attorney for an awful situation!

I retained Jessica Felix to represent me in my divorce case which began in 2016 and ended early 2017. She was amazing through this difficult process and was able to adjust to the uniqueness of my situation without hesitation. What could have turned into a very long and drawn out battle was ended quic...kly and peacefully. Her knowledge, professionalism and kindness was exactly what I needed to get me to the next chapter of my life.

Jessica Felix review

I appreciated that Jessica was both detail-oriented (helping to point out little things that would be useful to request in my parenting plan) while also helping me to be efficient with her hours to keep keep costs down. She was quick to return emails and very available to answer questions. While noth...ing is easy about divorce, she helped keep the paperwork as simple as possible.

Second to None...

If you are reading this post, I would first like to say - I am sorry, truly sorry... If there is any way you can work things out with your spouse, then I would strongly encourage you to do so. However, if you find yourself in a situation like mine - where your spouse is not going to have it any other... way and separation is eminent - then I would stop looking for representation and retain Jessica Felix immediately. Even now, the reality of my situation is hard to bare, but Jessica made this painstaking process as manageable for me as possible given the circumstances. Jessica's intellect and knowledge of the law regarding family matters was easily identifiable; just read all of her other reviews - it is all you need to know... When dealing with my situation (separation), however, it was important for me to not only find someone competent, but someone who would understand that - for me - this was a loss, a huge loss. I needed someone that I felt like understood and cared about my situation - Jessica was that someone. Lastly, although it was a secondary consideration of mine, I needed someone who would negotiate a good deal. I did not get a good, I got a great deal. At mediation, the mediator complemented and thanked Jessica for being so prepared. It was evident that Jessica came more prepared and ready to deal with the facts surrounding my case than did the opposing counsel. Professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, timely, diligent, detailed, and understanding are just a few of the words I would use to describe Jessica Felix. Look no further...you have found all you are looking for in Jessica Felix.

Heaven Sent

Jessica Felix was a God send to my wife and I. I live in MD and previously hired anther Tampa attorney who royally screwed us. The judge had ruled that I could not present any evidence at the case and it felt like a legal lynching. I contacted Ms. Felix and during consultation she immediately cited ...what grounds i could use for dismissal ( my previous lawyer was not aware of this precedent) and then developed a strategy. Her strategy was successful and my case was thrown out. Ms. Felix is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone in Florida or out of state such as myself. She is ethical, professional and knows the law.

"I have the pleasure of knowing Jessica as a colleague and as a friend for more almost seven (7) years. Jessica has a vast knowledge of family law. Not only is she is a zealous advocate, she is also a skilled mediator. I recently settled a case with Jessica serving as the mediator that I truly do not think would have not had the same outcome if it were not for Jessica. When Jessica and I have cases against each other I know that she will be prepared but most important, when she gives me her word, I trust it implicitly. Jessica will be successful for many years to come"
