Jessica Lynn Malmquist

Jessica is a true professional and will help you navigate difficult legal situations were emotion can cloud judgement. She is direct in her approach but provides task clarity on options without wasting time and your money. I've retained her twice to represent my interests (support order litigation,... and support order termination) and was completely satisfied.

Jessica explained everything thoroughly, and was incredibly helpful during my divorce, despite having to deal with a difficult attorney on the other end of things. She responded promptly whenever I contacted her, & was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of my divorce. More importantly, she w...as 100% correct about everything, which saved me a significant amount of money. I cannot recommend her enough.

When I hired this firm, I was expected the attorney who handled my divorce in 2008 to represent me again to file a motion for my 3 college bound kids in 2014. I had no idea how my case ended up with her. She did a terrible job, she only asked judge to order my ex to pay 1 kid college expenses when... I had 2 already in college at time, and one was in high school. When I questioning her at the court why judge only granted one kid but I was asking for all 3, she wouldn't let me talk and hurried me out of court room and whispered to me that we only took care one at time. I was pretty shock by her respond. After I returned home from Illinois. I emailed her about anything left from my retainer. OMG, She dried out my retainer and mailed me the detail of bills plus $130ish refund. My husband was furious her charge as he is an attorney himself, he believed the billings were ridiculous! There is no way I will hire her or her firm again. Two years later, I have to hire another attorney to clean up her messy work to get another court order to force my ex to also pay for my the other 2 kids college expenses. So I emailed her a few weeks ago asked for my documents. Her respond was I had to pay her hourly rate to get these documents back??? Seriously??? Enough is enough of her non senses. That was the time I decided to share my view and experiences with this attorney. I don't believe she was ever looked after my best interest but just a case she could milk.

Jessica was very honest and realistic about the outcome of my case. She always tried to work towards a civil solution for all parties. She made it easy for me and I have an extremely hectic schedule as an airline pilot. In court she was well prepared and often made the opposition look inexperienced. ...Kind of funny to watch. The opposition was completely out the ordinary for what they wanted from me and we didn't back down. Also my situation was almost impossible. Being served divots paper gram a women with a little girl, with cancer, while I had a relationship with someone. It was an uphill battle. I started off looking like a terrible father/husband. By the end of the case the judge had called out my ex and inevitably disliked her. My ex tried to play off of her bad situation and make me out to be terrible. Jessica made the judge see right through that and see the truth. Even at the end of the case, financially I was strapped so she was flexible with the payment as far as options and it all worked out for the best. Thank you to Jessica fur all her work, but I hope to not have to work with her again.
