disappointment

We hired Jessica to represent us in requesting an increase in parenting time. She was condescending throughout, always in a rush and did not listen to our concerns. She also did not utilize over half of our supporting documentation to support these concerns. She was not prepared and did not argue our... case in the Court room. We would've been better off representing ourselves.

Rude and Condescending

If I could give her a -10 stars, I would! Jessica is extremely unprofessional - and I'M the one who hired her to work for ME! She was impatient, answered my questions as if they were stupid questions, and angry with my wanting to understand the process better. I fired her halfway through the process... and couldn't have been happier. Go elsewhere - FAST!

please do your research!

I hired her for my custody case. I walked out of the courtroom with less time then I started. Now my child is paying the price while I have to pay the check. I always felt rushed, she made me feel my points were invalid. My case could not have gotten handled more poorly. She was not very prepared ...durning court. Just do your research especially when it comes to your child. Your child is more then a case number.
