I made the right choice!
What a great feeling it is to have someone that really cares to fight for you. I knew the journey that I was about to begin was going to be hard and to have Jessie to stand by me and not let me give in or give up has really helped me remain strong. She has such a passion for what she does, she truly genuinely cares. She fights for you! She knows what she is doing and RUNS circles around other attorneys. Her team is very organized, I get emails updating me on my case, they do not put things off. They are very proactive and they get stuff done! Jessie and her team are easy to communicate with and they do not brush you off. Jessie has such a great calling in life, she fights battles for you when you feel like giving up. I have such great respect for her and what a blessing she is to have as my attorney.

Very professional and easy to work with!
Jessie made a very difficult situation as painless as possible for me and my family. Divorce can be very hard, not only on the direct parties involved, but also for the children. Throughout the entire process, she had my son's best interest in mind, and was able to offer solutions that made sense for everyone involved. Because of Jessie's hard work and dedication, our divorce was quick and painless, and our son was not affected by any potential negative impacts. I not only recommend Jessie to anyone considering a divorce, but also for anyone dealing with child custody. Her experience is strong and you know you are in great hands with her!!
