Best lawyer I could ever have!!

I wish I could give Jessica 10 stars!!! She has been my lawyer for nearly 4 years, I wouldn’t know what to do without her. She’s very personal, down to earth and when you see her in front of a judge, you just sit back and let her to do her thing!! She is so smart and educated, but you’ll find out the... moment you meet her. Thank you Jessica Boike!!!

Genuine and knowledgeable

Jessica was so easy to work with - hired her for drawing up a prenup agreement: appointments were easy to set up, and she was so authentic, genuine, approachable, and responsive. She was knowledgeable and explained everything in detail, and was anticipatory in planning things that I would have other...wise not thought of. She was also respectful and sensitive to my fiancé, even though she did not represent him, and I appreciated that, given the circumstances. Am really so grateful to her for her services, and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a prenup done!

Prenuptial Assistance

Jessica assisted me with the creation of the prenuptial agreement prior to my wedding. The other attorney drafted the agreement and Jessica assisted with the edits and development of the final agreement. Jessica is very organized and personable. I appreciate the time she spent with me reviewing t...he document and listening to all of my questions and concerns. She raised some very good points during the negotiation that my future husband and I were not thinking about. She has a calm demeanor and is easy to work with. Jessica is also a great person. She was genuinely excited for me regarding my upcoming nuptials and wanted to know the details of the wedding. I enjoyed working with Jessica on a very difficult topic.

Great attorney

Jessica represented me in a nearly 5-year divorce and child custody dispute. She brought an experienced knowledge of the law and strategic acumen to each court appearance. Jessica knew which lines of argument to pursue and what efforts were not worth pursuing. She kept me well informed and understand...ing of developments in the case and represented me quite well when I could not attend hearings. She handled interactions with opposing counsel and my former spouse in a very professional manner. When I needed someone to aggressively argue for my interests in court, Jessica was there. She had a good understanding of the judge's mindset and skillfully presented her arguments to him. At no point did she ever lose favor with the judge. In the end, her representation enabled me to disprove false abuse allegations made against me and ultimately win full custody of my children. She also argued a very equitable divorce settlement, fair but favored toward my interests. She never lost sight of the importance of doing what was in the children's best interests either.

Absolutely the Best!!!

I totally love this woman! Eight years ago, I had the honor of meeting Jessica and while expecting to only find an attorney, I also found a friend. Besides being extremely knowledgeable in what she does, she is kind, caring and compassionate. My divorce was one of the most difficult times of my lif...e and Jessica took the time to be patient with me, lending her shoulder to cry on and truly listening to my worries and concerns. She wanted to get to know me and my boys better so that she could help me to make the correct decisions at a time when it is hard to think with a clear head. Everything turned out just as I wanted, even better than I'd expected and I owe it all to her. There is nobody else that I would recommend or trust more than Jessica Winkler Boike. She is a real gem and an asset to her firm.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have known Jessica since she was in law school and she has worked directly with me and now for me since 2006. I have had the pleasure of watching and influencing her growth as an attorney over these years. Jessica is always prepared, doesn't get flustered, is loved by clients, and respected by her peers. Jessica has become my right hand in the office and someone I can trust with the most difficult of tasks as well as the person I look to to manage my team when I am away from the office. The greatest compliment I can pay to Jessica is that I would trust her to represent me without hesitation."
