Unequivocally Recommend

In 2012 I hired Jessica Felix to represent me in a Family Law divorce case. As many are aware, this can be an extremely difficult process and finding an attorney that cares and is equipped to handle your case is not always easy to do. During the time Jessica and I worked together I found her to be ve...ry diligent in understanding the entire situation and her attention to detail played a vital role in my case. As an active and involved father I wanted nothing more than to be treated fairly throughout the process and to have at minimum an equal time relationship with my son. Jessica did an amazing job setting appropriate expectations and clarifying any questions I had about the process. She made it clear from the beginning she would not advise me to go a certain direction without knowing that we had a good chance at being successful. Turned out, she was exactly right at every turn during this process and I couldn't have been happier. Fast forward a little over a year and though everything was exactly what it needed to be originally, some changes needed to be made. I approached Jessica a second time with all the confidence in her abilities. Again, her attention to detail and knowledge was unmatched and we were able to quickly and easily make the necessary changes. Placing the type of trust you have to place in someone when it is regarding your future as well as your child's future is extremely important. This is why I unequivocally recommend Jessica Felix, her husband Matt, as well as Mark (who all played a part in my case) for any Family Law need you may have, especially in the area of Divorce.

Jessica Felix is a compassionate, dedicated, and tenacious, family law attorney that I trust implicitly.

Jessica Felix is a compassionate, dedicated, and tenacious, family law attorney that I trust implicitly. Jessica is a realist and does not promise that which cannot be obtained. She is tenacious and knows family law beyond measure. Jessica is responsive and has been there for me regardless of the iss...ue at hand. My case was not an easy case by any means and Jessica remained level and measured no matter what was thrown at her. I will be forever grateful to Jessica for all the time and hard work she put into bringing my case to resolution.

Absolutely the best!!!

Jessica is absolutely the best! I couldn't be happier with how my divorce turned out. Going through a divorce is difficult, but the stakes are much higher when children are involved. I essentially trusted Jessica with mine and my children's lives. I was extremely confident during the entire proce...ss with Jessica. She was available at all times to answer questions and I was always completely up to date with how the case was proceeding. She is highly intelligent and has the ability to think outside of the box which was important in my case. I could have never dreamed about how good of a position I would be in at the conclusion of my case. I would highly recommend her to ANYONE who has to go through divorce. She is the best!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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"

Jessica is often the perfect voice of reason in the middle of a crisis. She cares deeply about her clients and their children and she has always been outstanding and exercising sound and reasonable judgment, and therefore delivering excellent legal advice, no how complicated or tense a case may be. Jessica is one of the best family law attorneys I know."
