The best family lawyer in town

he really is the best at what she does. If you give her all your facts up front she can get you where you need to be. I can’t say enough and how she is worth every penny. She is prompt with responses and does not waste your time on the phone. I really like that she tells it like it is because tha...t’s what it takes to understand what needs to be done on your end to keep your kids and to be headed in the right direction as a client. She vouched for me, kept immaculate records, and always had my back. I recommend her to everyone for family law/custody things on the moms pages for a reason. I wouldn’t have my kids and the custody schedule I’m on right now if I had chosen someone else.

Excellent

I hired Jessica for a divorce because I needed someone tough and knowledgeable. When I first met her she told me what to expect, had a work sheet to get going, and when the time came i was ready because of our first meeting. I must say her assistant also deserves credit. Jessica constantly answered q...uestions from me about the process and explained every part very well. She was dead on every detail. I had to move on to another attorney and she recommended someone who was able to pick right up where Jessica left off, and then Jessica furnished her with everything and even did a little extra. I would hire her for any family law you need.

Outstanding Representation

I retained Jessica's services for a parenting time dispute recently. She is a professional through and through. Her knowledge and communication far exceeded my expectations. She kept me well informed of my options and how things were progressing in my case every step of the way. She always responded ...to questions in a very timely manner without a bunch of legal terms. I highly recommend Jessica to handle any family matter cases to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Family Divorce with a child

Jessica always looks out for the best interest of her client and their childern. She is very knowledgable with family law. She is very fair and realistic. She is proactive and gets the job done quickly in a timely manner. Her assistant Mary is also very knowledgable and helpful. I would recommen...t her to anyone that is needing a divorce laweer. Especally someone that has children and you are concerned with your custody rights.

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...s and I always felt she had my back. I have recommended her to multiple friends in similar situations. I will continue to do so.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
