Excellent service and advice

I hired Ms. Burkett after interviewing 5 family law attorneys in the Houston, Texas area. Jessica, spoke frankly to me about my current situation, what we needed to do and walked me through the process to adjust my divorce decree due to the death of one of my children. This issue had been hanging ove...r my head for a few years and I was not certain that a resolution was obtainable without having to argue the case in front of a judge. Ms. Burkett did a fantastic job with building the right legal strategy, advising me of what to do and in the end, getting a settlement that was beyond my expectations. Jessica truly cares about her clients and helping them through difficult situations. I was also impressed with her fee structure and billing. I work in Public Accounting and can tell you that she was prudent with her fees and worth every penny of the total bill. Her fees were reasonable, and I had been quoted 3 times her total fees by at least three other attorneys and those attorneys did not think I had much of a chance for a reasonable settlement. I highly recommend Ms. Burkett, especially if your circumstances have changed and need an amendment to your divorce decree.

Job well done!!

I have used Mrs. Burkett for two different family law matters on two separate occasions (Divorce and then child support modification) and could not be more pleased on how they were handled and the ultimate results. I would not even consider using a different attorney if I ever need legal representati...on in the future.

Modification and contempt

I used her to get my son back after the ex kept him from me for 9 months. I won the contempts, I got 100% custody and she spent three days in jail.

My Divorce Expereince

She was great to work with. I was not sure if my ex husband would contest or even sign the divorce papers. Most lawyers I talked to said that the only way to handle this type was to start off as a contested divorce. Jessica was the only one that said she would start of as a uncontested divorce and... explained that even if my ex did not sign I still could get my divorce. She also explained that with our Attorney General papers/Child Support/Child Custody I already had everything I wanted concerning our daughter. She was great and very knowledgeable. I hope I never have to use a lawyer again, but if I do I would go to her and/or ask her who she recommends.
