Trust Jessica to Help You Navigate Challenging Situations Successfully

Jessica was a fantastic mediator for my recent divorce. It was very important to me to reach a mutually agreeable solution and get all the way through the mediation process successfully, and Jessica helped us achieve that goal. She helped us navigate emotional topics with empathy and kindness..., helped us stay focused on the most important issues without getting sidetracked by minor ones, and she was incredibly patient throughout — even when our case took much longer than originally expected. While no divorce is easy, Jessica helped us get through ours as smoothly as possible. This helped set us up for a more cooperative dynamic going forward, which will only benefit everyone involved. I will gladly refer Jessica to anybody who needs to get through a similar situation. Thank you!

Top notch

Jessica is a very capable attorney focused on achieving the best possible outcome for her client (me), with compassion and understanding of her clients needs to facilitate the best outcome in a collaborative divorce environment. The dynamics of a collaborative divorce is still fraught with tension ...and uncertainty, yet Jessica worked to achieve the desired outcome despite curve balls being interjected by opposing counsel throughout the process. I am satisfied with the outcome achieved during this collaborative yet contentious journey to gain my freedom and clarity of my future.

Amazing work for a limited-scope client

I hired Jessica for limited scope work related to my divorce. My former spouse and I had already agreed to the division of assets and drafted a preliminary settlement. Jessica reviewed it, provided guidance on where we needed more information and prepared it for submission to the court. Jessica made... sure I stayed on top of my filings and reviewed the filing paperwork for completeness. Before the hearing, Jessica sent me a script to prepare. Once we had figured out how to divide everything, Jessica made the process smooth and straightforward and we completed everything within about three months.

Best attorney experience I've ever had

Jessica made the entire divorce process as seamless and straight forward as possible. Her communication was prompt. If any questions or uncertainty arose from my end, she was always there with a response to put me at ease and answer my questions. I never felt in the dark about anything. She d...elivered on all promises she made during the consultation process. She ensured we knew exactly what we needed to say and what to expect during the hearing, which made a potentially stressful day very easy to get through

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I met Jessica several years ago when we were in the same Collaborative Divorce training session. Since then, I have had the opportunity to have several cases with her, as well as to serve with her on the board of the Collaborative Practice Institute of Michigan. I can say without hesitation that Jessica is one of the hardest-working, most competent attorneys I know. She has an amazing "Can Do" attitude that is contagious. As an opposing counsel, she is tough but fair, exactly as an advocate should be. I would - and have - referred cases to her whenever possible, because she is such a pleasure to work with and so good at her job. Whether it be for a Collaborative case or a mediation, she will continue to be one of the first attorneys I think to call."
