Jessica Weiner

Amidst crisis decisions, Jessica was ready to go! She was thinking ahead and long term when I couldn't see the forest for the trees. She helped me to separate the emotions and reality of what was happening. Jessica was sure to comb through details and decide what was most important for my son and ...I. Grateful she was my navigator on the divorce journey.

Excellent Attorney

When I started my divorce process, I had no idea what to expect. I was referred to Jessica by a friend. Jessica made made me feel right away that she was ready to stand by me and help get my divorce finished quickly, but also tried to be fair for both myself and the ex husband. She was informative ...and clear with her answers. She was patient and intuitive with questions that I didn't know to ask. She did so with integrity and professionalism which isn't always standard in her industry. Jessica displayed impeccable attention to detail and she provided outstanding service even after our case was closed. I truly felt I was more than "just another case". She was available whenever I needed, to help me through my challenging time. Thank you for your assistance Jessica!

The Tiger You Need In Your Corner

Jessica was recommended to me when my wife filed for divorce and threatened to take full custody of my son. From our first meeting, she was able to describe the process and prepare me for the obstacles which were going to be thrown our way. She has done an incredible job representing me and helping... me get what I cherish most in life; time with my son. I feel so comfortable having Jessica in my corner, knowing she wont let anyone push her (or me) around. Jessica has done a wonderful job of dodging darts thrown by opposing counsel, as well as managing me as a client. If I have to get divorced again (and I sure hope I don't), Jessica would be my first and last phone call.

When the best is needed

I met Jessica many years ago when she was the opposing counsel on one of my matters. Since that case I have referred many clients to her because I can depend upon her taking care of them to the best of her abilities. She is professional, smart, tough and clever. Just what a client needs when the c...lient is in a tough fight. I would not hesitate to refer her to any of my clients. In fact, in her area of expertise, she has been my first choice.

Greatest Show I’ve Ever Seen

My name is Adam Blair. I’m a single father and professional musician. I’ve toured the world,written national commercial spots,had songs in Billboard Charts ,opened for The President and I would/did trade every bit of that in to be with my son. Since he was pretty much born I have taken the most direc...t care of him than anyone,yet almost 2 years ago he was taken from me . To say I was devastated,lost or incapable of comprehension would all be massive understatements . I needed a champion to fight for my family. On the suggestion of a friend I called Jessica L Weiner. When I met with her she spoke my language as a single mom herself. She wasn’t taken back my appreance or my job,she just saw I was a good father. Her poise was that of a Star . She had an amazing charm to her that could be felt tables away. A few days later she walked into court and with in seconds owned the room. I felt like I was at concert ! She instantly connected with the judge and child rep. She followed it with quips and jibes. Then ended it with sincerity and endearing banter. I thought to myself “WHAT A SHOW!!” I KNEW in those moments I made the right choice for my son and I . Through the hardest period of my Jessica gave me assurance. Through heartbreak Jessica gave me hope. Through utter pain Jessica gave me knowledge to make tomorrow better . But best of all Jessica gave me my son back! Please take a moment to fully digest that statement because every day for the rest of my life I have to and then I have to know who made that happen. That warm feeling I get in my chest when I see my son smile is because of the efforts and passion of Jessica! Jessica I pray to god you read this because I’m so proud and honored to have watched you in your element and beyond grateful for the results ..... my son. The English language has failed me because the words I use cannot possible express my feelings so I’m left with merely “thank you”. Your biggest fan, Adam

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked closely with Jessica on a matter involving one of our mutual clients who was going through a divorce. I represented that client in a personal injury matter. Jessica handled the divorce case with the highest degree of professionalism. She knows all the applicable law and is up-to-date on current cases and issues being decided by courts throughout Illinois. Jessica is also a compassionate person who understands how to work with and comfort clients going through a difficult time. Jessica is a strong advocate for her clients. She is respected by the attorneys she works with (and against). I highly recommend Jessica Weiner."
