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.

A Fantastic Collaborative Divorce Lawyer

As I began to embark on my first (and hopefully only) divorce, my ex-wife and I had decided that we wanted to use the collaborative approach to divorce. And as a transgender woman, it was extremely import for me to find an attorney who was LGBTQ+ friendly, especially considering I was still navigati...ng the gender transition process. I am so grateful that I found Jessica Heltsley. She was absolutely wonderful! She expertly provided guidance throughout the entire process, which allowed me to make well-informed decisions regarding topics that would have, otherwise, felt very overwhelming to me. And Jessica exhibited a tremendous amount of compassion and empathy towards me and she made me feel comfortable from the first time we spoke. Any concerns over how I might be treated as a transgender woman evaporated immediately. While no divorce is "easy", I could not have wished for a smoother, more well planned out process than what I experienced with Jessica and her extensive amount of collaborative law experience. In addition to all of that, it is reassuring to know that, as my ex-wife and I navigate post-divorces issue, I know that I can continue to work with Jessica as a post-divorce coach. I HIGHLY recommend Jessica to anyone who is making the decision to go through the collaborative divorce process. You will not be disappointed!

Knowledgeable, Helpful, and Reasonable

Good divorce lawyers are definitely not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for. Initially I thought I could navigate the process on my own, but I was so glad that I had an experienced attorney to ensure that the process was handled correctly. Jessica was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, ...and was able to provide perfect guidance through this process. While my ex and I were completely amicable throughout the entire divorce, Jessica assisted with all of the framework for us to divide assets, she prepared and filed all of required paperwork (which is so complex if you haven't done this before), prepared us for what to exacty what to expect, and provided valuable advice at every step of the way. She was honest, professional, and understanding. When our court date was cancelled due to weather she was able to quickly reschedule so our judgement wouldn't be delayed. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in my position. Do not go through this process on your own!

Jessica Pospiech Review

Jessica was a tremendous resource to me. Thankfully, my divorce was amicable; and I did not need a lot of time. However, when I did need her I found her to be responsive, empathetic, knowledgeable and professional.

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."
