About Jessica

Passionate. Dedicated. Experienced. Call Now at 615-800-7606.

I provide personalized service to my clients. I work with them to establish a relationship of trust. I am always available when a client needs me. My goal is to make their experience, dealing with their legal issues, as stress-free as possible.

 
I am very passionate when it comes to children and divorce. My personal belief is that the children's needs should be put in front of either spouse's needs. I make a concerted effort to determine what is truly in a child's best interest and what each child's specific needs are so that I may represent my client while keeping their interests and needs of their child(ren) in mind.
 
I always encourage clients to discuss issues, when possible, amongst themselves and to mediate when possible. I believe that a divorce trial, in front of a Judge, in open Court, should be the last option, not the to go-to option for a divorce.
 
Divorce can be a very expensive and stressful process, but it is my belief that it does not always have to be so. Many times stress and costs can be lowered by simply acknowledging one another's points of views and wants and then mediating on what you cannot agree upon. I really believe that there is no reason to bankrupt one's self simply because one would like to get a divorce or has been served with divorce papers. I do try to keep my clients financial resources in mind as I work. I am very clear about how much things will cost, what costs my clients can control, and what costs my clients cannot control.
 
But, that being said, I understand that some couples just simply can't, or will not, get along and a divorce hearing is necessary. When that is the case, I remain a passionate advocate for my clients.
 
I also provide the option of unbundled legal services. This means that, if you can't afford a full time attorney, but you don't know how to draft a document or where to file or serve something, you can hire me for specific services only. I believe that every person deserves legal help and, just because you may not be able to afford full-time help, that doesn't mean you should not have access to competent legal help.
 
One last thing...if you are walking into my office, there is a good chance you are dealing with some of the most difficult life issues one can ever face. I tell my clients that, "Even if you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel today, that doesn't mean you have lost the right to smile." 
 
So, don't be surprised if you find yourself laughing in my office. You probably will be surprised you can still smile but I promise that you can.

Review Jessica Levine

So grateful to have found her!

Posted by

I was so lucky to find Ms. Levine. She went above and beyond for me. She was always there to answer any question I had, kept me informed about everything about my case, and really cares about her clients. I was scared at the idea of hiring a lawyer and she made me feel so comfortable. She is so easy to talk to. I'm so grateful for her.

Jessica is a great attorney!

Posted by

Jessica has helped me with a variety of issues over the past year, but particularly with the legal issues regarding my family. She is professional and responsive, is great at texting and calling, and is never hard to get a hold of. I knew exactly where my case was all the time and exactly what I needed to do. I would recommend her for any legal issues you have!

Fierce advocate

Posted by

Jessica responded quickly and set up a consultation with me, at which I learned a ton about my options. In the midst of a family mess, she helped me find the most feasible solution for my divorce. There are many lawyers out there, this one is special in my opinion, trustworthy which is hard to find. Highly recommend!!

One on One Attention!

Posted by

Personal attention is an understatement! She is the most amazing attorney I have ever had the pleasure of hiring. I have had several attorneys that I couldn't get to call me back and to my surprise she answers ever call. She will find ever avenue and work to failure to help support and prove your case. If you don't hire her you will regret it. Go ahead call the other attorney it will be a mistake. Dedicated is her middle name. I didn't know that attorneys could actually care till I met her. She is a God send and I thank you Jessica for giving my kids back to me and saving me. She was fair and accurate with her billing. Thank you for everything! Amazing is how I would describe my experience!

Jessica Levine is very knowledgeable about the law. She is very clear and concise about what steps need to be taken. She answers phone calls. She takes the time necessary for her clients' needs to build a strong case. She treats you with respect, without personal judgement. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dependable legal counsel

Posted by

I came to Ms. Levine after having contacted several other lawyers who seemed too busy to bother with my case or to even point me in the right direction. Jessica has shown extreme dedication to my case and has spent hours researching and explaining her findings to my family and me so that we could better understand where we stand legally and what we can do to better our situation. I have not been confused or in dark about anything regarding my legal situation because of her diligence and dedication. She is incredibly easy to communicate with and can always be reached though text, phone or email. I highly recommend Ms. Levine to anyone in need of legal counsel.

No follow through

Posted by

I contacted Jessica about a month ago through Avvo and during our initial consultation she was great. Gave me great info and had me find some information for her in order to proceed with my divorce. I found the information for her and emailed her a week after our over the phone consult. She didn't reply to my email- in fact I have called her another 2-3 times over the past few weeks (leaving about a week in between calls to make sure she had a chance to call me back) and left her messages asking her to call me back so we can proceed and nothing. I even asked in one of the messages to please let me know if she didn't want to take my case so that I can find someone else as this is time sensitive for me, no hard feelings as I understand that she can't take every case. I have had no response in any way from her, it's been over a week since my last call. I'm disappointed because I really wanted her to handle my case and thought I'd found a good match for my needs. Now I have to start the process all over again of vetting lawyers to see if they're right for me. I'm not sure what happened, but I would have at least liked a response letting me know that she didn't want my case.

Jessica Levine's response: I’m sorry you feel ignored. I took a few days off to recharge because I’m about to start a pretty stressful appeal and wanted to have a clear and fresh mind. Then I have been in trial prep mode. I very clearly remember our conversation and was under the impression that you would email me with some dates and times you could come to my office if you wanted to set up a consult. I never received an email from you. My email is on my profile. It’s [email protected] If I had received an email as discussed, I would have, without a doubt, set up a consultation with you.

Sanket Mistry, Contracts and agreements Attorney on Mar 28, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. A good lawyer knows that clients have questions. For this reason, I know Jessica seeks to open the lines of communications by following through on phone calls, e-mails, and in-person meetings. Jessica has many channels through which she can be reached and works actively to ensure that those channels remain open for the benefit of her clients. Every time I have reached out to Jessica regarding professional matters, she has been highly attuned to the issues being discussed, thorough in her legal analysis, and shown tremendous follow-through after our discussions. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Kevin Shepherd, Family Attorney on Mar 24, 2015
Relationship: Other

I endorse this lawyer. She displays a strong commitment to her clients, and demonstrates a good understanding of the law. Her emphasis on availability and communication to her clients stand out in a field crowded with attorneys who don't share her level of dedication to clients.
