      Exceptional Lawyer!

      Posted by

      Jessica Pilgrim represented me in court and was exceptional. She knows her way around a court room that’s for sure. Still to this day she will respond to an email with advice. She is not a great lawyer she is a great person. Totally recommend

      Exceptional Work

      Posted by

      Jessica represented us in as we sought to adopt a child that has been in our care for over 3 years. We filed termination of parental rights so we could moved forward in the adoption process. What I love about Jessica and her work: she listens. She listened to our story and crafted a plan to accomplish what was best for us and the child. She was dedicated and relentless in her pursuit to serve our need. The court granted the termination of parental rights and we will now begin proceedings of adoption for our “almost” son. I can’t recommend her enough.

      Child custody

      Posted by

      We have had a very complex child custody case. We have been nothing but pleased with how Jessica has handled our case. She is very confident in the court room and has provided sound advice throughout a very challenging ordeal. I highly recommend her!

      Great lawyer

      Posted by

      Ms. Pilgrim did a great job handling my case! She made everything very clear and understandable as well as kept me updated with all court orders and court dates. I know she put in her all on the case and she let me know we were in it together. Ms. Pilgrim also does a great job in court, even under pressure, very professional and educated. I would recommend her to my family and friends.

      The best around!

      Posted by

      Jessica not only was the best lawyer I could have had in my custody case, she was a good person. She helped me through the process at every angle and I couldn’t have asked for better results. She made all of my needs and concerns a priority and was available anytime I needed her. I trust her with everything!

      Vicious in court

      Posted by

      I was skeptical at first since she was so young and fresh out of law school. Do not let looks fool you. She is very sweet and innocent in the office setting; and earns her money during trial. I was very pleased when we went to trial and plan to use her in the future.

      Absolutely recommended!

      Posted by

      We were recommended to Miss Pilgrim from a family friend, who was also an attorney, and hired her for a divorce case. She was professional, a very good listener and always had answers one way or another to the problem we have had. She knew the law and executed it proficiantly. Also, there were no hidden fees and she was very affordable and straight up with what the costs were. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need. She communicates very quickly and well in our "normal people" language. Thank you Miss Pilgrim again for your help!
