Jessica Ann Hafemeyer

Working with Jessica was one of the most frustrating legal experiences I’ve ever been part of. We hired her to handle a divorce on behalf of my uncle—an elderly man with cancer and cognitive decline—after his spouse exploited him financially. Jessica’s handling of the case was negligent, disorganized..., and frankly, disrespectful. She missed court-ordered deadlines. She filed documents with blatant factual errors that we—not she—had to catch. She ignored repeated requests for updates, strategy, or basic clarity. Emails would go unanswered for days or weeks. Evidence of forgery and financial abuse was brushed aside with condescending comments like “divorces take time” or accusations that we “just wanted to punish” the other party. Jessica refused to work collaboratively with our family, even after written authorization was given. She billed over $6,400 for a few templated filings, generic correspondence, and multiple instances of clerical work charged at full attorney rates. She billed us for a meeting that was explicitly promised to be free—and then delivered no meaningful value in it. Worst of all, she left us completely unprepared for court. No strategy. No prep. No follow-up. We had to fire her and start over with a new attorney, who made more progress in two weeks than Jessica did in three months. If you are looking for a lawyer who listens, communicates, meets deadlines, or actually advocates for your case—look elsewhere. Jessica Hafemeyer caused our family unnecessary stress, wasted our time and money, and failed to uphold even the most basic standard of competent legal representation.
