Excellent Attorney

Jessica is an excellent attorney, she is an experienced professional who will work tirelessly to defend your rights. She handled my child support case. From always answering my phone calls, to explaining in detail all the steps in the legal process; she ensured I never had unanswered questions. Sh...e is objective by never promising me an outcome that will likely not happen, but she will lay out all the outcome options. Her depth of knowledge ensured she recommended a tailor made strategy for my specific needs. She is transparent with her billing process and her customer service is outstanding.

Fantastic

I’ve used her services for quite a while and, let me say, quite clearly, that hiring her was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. She repeatedly had prompt and specific answers for me, immediately notified me of court dates and case progress, came early to court to sign us up ahead of the line, an...d was always available by phone or email. She was impressively informed and knowledgeable about uncommon, potential future circumstances that needed to be addressed, and she promptly brought them to my attention. When it finally came time for court, she definitely knew her stuff, and it showed - we won hands down! Her prices were fair, too! Overall, she does a fantastic job!

Child Custody/Divorce

I hired Jessica a year ago to help me defend myself against a team of bloodthirsty lawyers my ex wife hired. She kept the wolves at bay and helped me get visitation with my son back. I originally hired Jessica because she was affordable and allowed payment plans where other lawyers wanted a ridiculou...s amount of money that I didn't have. 1 year later my divorce is final, I have weekends with my son again, AND I got everything Jessica promised I would. Even after my case has been closed, I still call to ask questions occasionally and she is always willing to answer them. Highly recommended!

Wasted my time

I retained her in Jan/16 and I have not had a hearing or received paperwork, I paid a my retainer and after that I had to contact her for any info regarding my case. She basically wasted my time and time with my child that I can not get back. I would not recommend her to anyone unless you like wastin...g time. This review is not to be mean but to be honest!!!!

"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.
