Jessica Horace, The BEST attorney I have ever encountered!

Jessica Horace is an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. She represented me in a complicated and contested adoption case. She led me through every step of the process while keeping me abreast of every situation. Jessica allowed me to make my own decisions regarding the case. She was not persuasiv...e or demanding and did not attempt to lead me in a certain direction. She explained thoroughly the good, the bad and the ugly. She explained best case scenario vs worst case scenario and made sure I understood all aspects. Jessica stood with me through thick and thin and was always readily available for a consultation or phone call when needed. I highly recommend Jessica Horace to anyone in need of assistance in any type of family matter. She will not let you down!

Child custody

Jessica helped me navigate the very tricky process of child custody as a non custodial parent. She was warm, welcoming, and meticulous in her efforts. The end result was a change of custody! Would recommend a thousand times over!

Compassionate and Professional Divorce Attorney

Jessica Horace represented me during my divorce, and I couldn't have asked for better legal support. She was professional, responsive, and walked me through every step of the process with patience and clarity. What stood out most was her ability to make a difficult situation feel more manageable and ...less overwhelming. Her knowledge of family law and her dedication to her clients are evident. I felt heard, respected, and well-represented from beginning to end. I highly recommend Jessica Horace to anyone going through a divorce.

Professional and caring through the whole process

Jessica was my attorny through a divorce and custody case. Jessica helped me keep my head on straight and created a path forward for me. She was always profressional but also compassionate. I felt that she really cared about me and my situation. In the end my outcome was extremely favorable and I hav...e no doubt she was vital in that outcome. If you need help with a divorce and custody I would recommend her.

Great Advocate for Fathers

For fathers that are very involved in their kids lives and have to deal with the nightmare of divorce I would highly recommend Bryan Fagan and request specifically Jessica Horace and her paralegal Estrellita Ventura. Jessica is a strong and true advocate for fathers in the courtroom and has an assass...ins' vibe where opposing counsel has no idea what's coming. Jessica enabled me to win primary possession of my kids in a very long divorce case that lasted 17 months!? Jessica, Estrellita were very open minded, patient, professional, and prepared me well for the trial, expected tough cross examination from opposing counsel, and were open to my ideas for the trial as well to ensure I got what I wanted.
