Jessica L Defino

Jessica was my attorney during my divorce a few years ago and it was the worst decision I could have made. She did not advocate for me, she was late to respond to my emails, made careless mistakes and was always too busy to address my requests. She cared mostly about billing me, even though I always ...paid her on time. It was a terrible experience and extremely disheartening during an already difficult time. I would never recommend her to anyone.

Impeccable service during a very challenging time for me and my family. I was under a very stressful situation before finding Jessica.I went though one attorney for my divorce case before finding Jessica, and I wish everyday that she was my first! Jessica has been a great lawyer since day one! Anytim...e I've had a question or concern about something she was always there right away. Very quick responses to my questions. She has fought for me and has always had my best interest in mind while going through the divorce. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. She also did a great job at getting to the point and not letting the divorce drag out saving me money. I highly recommend her, and I can see why. Her professional, friendly demeanor is outstanding, as were her assessment of my situation. She carefully planned steps she took to handle every aspect of my divorce, and the clear explanations she provided along the way. I really appreciated how Jessica kept things moving forward without compromising my position, as well as the fact that she stayed very close to her original cost estimates. It's quite apparent that her experience and abilities made that happen. Over the phone and her office, she invited me many times to discussed the case and worked together to design and implement a strategy to defend my position against very very strong opposing console. She explain in detail different aspect of marriage memorandum that she created for me, and the one I received from strong opposing console. The demands from the opposite console were radically very high, but Jessica was big savior. My case was very complicated, but she handle it amazingly. Due to cronnavirus when court was closing, she made extra effort to complete marriage settlement, she worked extra hours over the weekend with the opposing console and very last day court before closing due cronnavirus. She managed to get time in court and finished the case. The explanation to Judge was outstanding. I don't have enough words to thank her for doing extra ordinary for me. Best lawyer in DuPage County!

I live in California and have an extremely busy work schedule. My court case was out of Illinois. My ex was violating a poorly self written court order, I missed out on a summer of parenting time because of it, and I needed help correcting the order before the next summer. To make matters worse, ...my ex is very manipulative, volatile, and purposefully not helpful. Jessica listened to my frustrations and started working on my case right away. I was able to stay in California while Jessica dealt with my ex and represented me in Illinois court. With Jessica’s help, we were able to correct the parenting agreement in time for the upcoming summer. Everything we hoped to accomplish with my case, Jessica was able to make happen. I was nervous about the whole court process, but Jessica put me at ease with her professionalism, friendly personality, and attention to detail. Years ago, out of irrational anxiety about divorce attorneys and dealing with my ex, I failed to hire an attorney to help me with the divorce process. I paid the price because of it, both emotionally and financially. I ultimately felt defeated and helpless for years. Working with Jessica helped me gain back confidence, and I finally felt like something went in my favor. I highly recommend hiring Jessica as your attorney. Not only do I think she is a great attorney, but also feel she is a good person. She listens to you, gives you solid advice, and will always fight for what is right. I have a few other matters I need to take care of moving forward, and will definitely be reaching out to her for legal representation in the near future. My confidence in her as an attorney helped restore damaged confidence within myself. I should have written this review way earlier in the year, but was busy enjoying time with my children thanks to hiring Jessica as my attorney!

Jessica did a tremendous work on my divorce case. She always communicated with me on time and was available to take my calls. Her advices were accurate and honest. I appreciate her compassionate approach to my case and understanding my children needs. She is very knowledgeable and understands court o...f law very well. I would recommend her services to anyone.
