FRIENDS FOREVER

Divorce is a difficult and long process with numerous ups and downs, emotions and bumps in the road along the way. Jessica, Kelly, Tammy , Terri and Sarah are the most amazing team to have on your side during this awful event in ones life. I began my divorce along time ago and never thought I would... be where I am today! With the knowledge and the skills this firm brings to you there is no other firm I would trust. I feel as If I have friends forever. Somebody on my team was always there with a shoulder to cry on or a punching bag for the rough times. All my concerns and questions were always answered and worked through so that I understood the process every step of the way and what MY options were. I was able to be myself and be open and honest with no judgements from anyone I spoke with. They may be a bit more expensive as others say but you get your moneys worth and like myself I have gained friends for life! This is a firm that truly cares about its clients from the first meeting and after the divorce is final.... This you cant get any place else..

So far, so good.

I am muddling through the divorce process. I hired Jessica Woll because of her knowledge and ability to clarify what the process means to me personally. She is a trusted advisor with regard to assets and parenting time and is aggressively representing my interests. I had talked to other attorneys b...efore hiring Jessica and am thrilled with her ability to navigate the complexity of my case. Her 20 years of experience seem to have made a huge difference in how she has approached my situation compared to her peers. She is sensitive to the needs of my kids, very detailed oriented and well prepared for court. Hire her for results.

Would hire for Custody case :) ThAnk u for the advice and tips

This firm knows there stuff. Very professional and knows about child custody cases. Unfortunately I couldn't afford them. But I am very thankful for the time and knowledge Sara gave to me. I am currently in a horrible custody case were the fathers home is unsafe and dogs fighting and drugs. But than...k you again I would totally recommend them.

Jessica Woll- Highest Recommendation

Though divorce is never a welcomed event, I had interviewed several divorce attorneys in the Metro Detroit area and was most impressed with Jessica and her team. After having met with 5-7 other attorneys, her experience, advice and willingness to listen with empathy made her the clear choice. During... the process Jessica and her team provided me with realistic advice/recommendation and kept me well informed throughout this difficult process. I have, without hesitation, recommended Jessica Woll and her firm to many friends and know that she will provide the same level of expertise, professionalism and results. She is definitely the right choice to represent you.....in the end, would much rather have her on my side than to be working against her and her team!!

Smart, strong, strategic

Jessica Woll and her team are true professionals, dedicated to helping clients through the excruciating process of divorce. I found Jessica to be not only knowledgeable, hard-working and connected, but highly strategic in her thinking. In my experience, she knew the law, did the research, and was wil...ling to work much harder and smarter than opposing counsel. There was no contest; Jessica was head and shoulders above the opposition. She is intelligent, tough, and lightening fast, and didn’t let opposing counsel get away with their old-school bullying and other inappropriate tactics. If you want an attorney with strength, smarts and strategy, you’ll want Jessica to be fighting for you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
