Jessica Pantoja-Adams

In my opinion this is the absolute worst attorney ever. I WOULD NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME!!!! I thought that she started out as a decent lawyer for my custody case. Told me everything that I needed (wanted) to hear. Sue sue sue......go for it....you got it..... no problem....etc.......etc. Do not believe any of her lies. It is all about money with her. The only thing that was any good was that the opposing council (Matthew Mahoney) let her know that my ex had a DUI that he was handling, she told me that he accidentally gave her that case and then she guaranteed my case because of that (HER EXACT WORDS WERE....YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED, OPPOSING COUNCIL IS SUCH AN IDIOT......ETC, ETC) . Then she just gave up. Did not hear from her for quite awhile after that. The case continued on and I paid over and over again. Nothing happened. In the end i got rid of her. A new attorney and a few weeks later..... my daughter lives with me. Be really careful when it comes to Jessica Adams.

I hired the firm she worked at for a custody case, they assigned my case to Ms. Adams. I had trouble reaching her, and had to leave multiple messages. She was always late for court and never seemed to know the details of my case. She was late for mediation by several hours, to the point the other... attorney nearly cancelled the mediation altogether. I did not understand the agreement I signed and was not able to work with the visitation arrangement after it was entered. Ms. Adams filed a motion for New Trial in my case without ever talking to me about it, causing me to incur extra legal fees. And in the end I did not get the outcome she said I would at the start of the case.

I hired Jessica because she made a lot of promises regarding my divorce/ child custody case. I was very honest with her about my entire situation and she made me feel confident about my case. I gave her $7500 because she promised we would take my case to trial. From the moment I walked out of her off...ice, there was little to no communication with her. She doesn't return phone calls, emails, nothing. She missed several court dates. The judge was fuming mad at her about all the missed dates. I could go on and on about the lies she told me. My case severely suffered because of her actions. My name is Kris.

gave her all info required/requested for her to make a contract for a real estate dealing. she received everything except the pymt which she quickly contacted me about. gave her the pymt and she said she would have it done w/in the week and would email it to me for my review this was in March 2012 .... And to this day Sept 20 2012, I have NEVER gotten anything from her she never returned any of my calls or msgs. I finally got her on her cell phone one day & she told me her paralegal had taken care of my case and she would check with her to see what happened. (her answering service said she didn't have a paralegal) She promised to call me back the next day and apologized for not calling me back sooner but she was under the impression everything had been taken care of. I understand her husband has been ill but she is still practicing and participating in her child's numerous beauty pageants so things can't be that bad - I am not a mean person and have not wanted to report her to the bar but not sure what else to do. I just need that paper work taken care of and do not want to have to pay another attorney to get it done. She handled a child custody case for us a couple yrs ago and was brilliant so I am not sure what happen with her - so today i tried to call her office & the number is disconnected w/no forwarding number - i searched the internet & found she is working for a law firm now. I called but she was not there so i left a msg. when i googled her the state bar website came up and next to her name it said - Current Member Status Not Eligible To Practice In Texas (click for detail) so who knows what is really going on.
