5 Stars is not Enough!

Let me start off by saying that Jessica is the best attorney we have EVER Hired! She really cares, she is really there to help for the best interest of the children. She was able to restrict my husbands ex from moving all over the place and providing a unsteady home for our children and restricting h...er to one County/State. She was able to drop his child support payments by 35% based on his income and not by what he used to make. She was always very upfront with us, knew what was best for my husband and the children... When I say this Woman cares, she cares! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that's looking for an honest and trustworthy attorney! Thank you Jessica! ***Robert & Myra***

An Amazing Lawyer

If you are looking for a lawyer that is an excellent communicator that will get the job done, then Jessica is your lawyer. I had three lawyers that made failed promises and drastically impacted my custody case with my daughter. Jessica came in, picked up the pieces quickly and give me advise along th...e way unlike I experienced in the past. She pushed me to give her everything she thought she would need in support of my case to get me the outcome I wanted. She is an extraordinary, honest lawyer with a caring heart. Being represented by Jessica was the best situation to walked into at the time she took on my case. I felt safe and trusted her. She helped me restore peace with situation and restore custody of my daughter.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Jessica is the best! We had a case together were I was the opposing counsel on a very messy divorce. Not only was she professional at all times, she was knowledgable, punctual, and courteous. A lot of lawyers would have been frustrated but she ALWAYS remained calm under pressure. She is a remarkable Family Law Attorney."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jessica was an opposing counsel on a case. She aggressively advocated on behalf of her client and was a formidable opponent. She was always professional despite our client's differences. I have since consulted with her on other matters because of her knowledge and expertise in the family law arena. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced and aggressive attorney."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
