A very professional lawyer with true compassion
I found Jessica to be one of the most honest, caring, and diligent individuals that I've dealt with in my professional career, as well as my personal life. At no time did I ever have to ask where we were at. She guided me through a bitter divorce, and acted as a friend and advisor as to what to expec...

Jessica did an amazing job for me. From the initial meeting to the final decision. She was right there for me. Her knowledge of the law was incredible, taking a very difficult case and turning it into a success for me. I would highly recommend Jessica.

Professional, knowledgeable, caring.
When I went to Jessica for my divorce I had no idea what my legal rights were. She not only advised me of my rights but, guided me along the process with care and genuine concern for my well being. Any questions I had she was able to answer in a way that was clear and understandable to a person , lik...

Highly recommend
I hired Jessica initially several years ago for a divorce - and have used her multiple times over the last few years for related matter. I have found her completely responsive - excellent communication by phone & by email (which I prefer). She has given rock solid advice to protect me & my interest...

public defender would be better
I hired Ms. Sterle two years ago. She seemed inexperienced and unfamiliar with the area of law she was representing me in. After I fired her, she refused to turn over evidence I had entrusted her with as my attorney, to my new attorney. Demanding exorbitant "duplicating fees".
There are times when clients have unreasonable expectations that attorneys cannot change no matter how much they wish they could. It is difficult to hear information one does not want to hear. Clients sometimes want to blame their attorney for things that have happened in their lives, and that is unfortunate for everyone involved. Attorney/client privilege protects clients' information from being made public for good reasons although it prohibits attorneys from correcting misinformation. I wish I could fix the heading of this post - Public Defenders do not represent clients in family matters. They only represent clients in certain criminal and juvenile matters. If you are looking for a family law attorney, please don't contact your local Public Defender's office as they cannot help you as my former client thinks. I want to correct this misstatement so folks don't go in the wrong direction for information. I wish this former client of mine, who is posting under a false name, the best. Hopefully she has successfully made her way through her divorce trial and case with some positive closure. Jessica Sterle
