Extremely Knowledgeable!

I am very thankful that I hired Jessica. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, which I had lots! I would completely recommend her! I used her for a custody modification and she did an excellent job for me and is very professional.

Custody Modification

Mrs. Adams was wonderful. She walked us through each step of the process for a custody modification. She covered all bases in out request and followed through on everything asked of her. Not all of her responses to my calls or text were immediate but all were returned. I had to remember that I'm... not her only client. In the court room she was very professional and had a good re pore with both judges we were in contact with. She thought outside the box and was very realistic with us about the outcome. She was able to react to indications and actions of the judge and knew when enough was enough. I would definitely use her again...although I hope I don't have too.

Read Before You Retain

Jessica held a great and comforting conversation with me before I gave her the $2000 retainer fee. After the money was paid, I was never contacted by or got any responses from Jessica. She waited until a couple of days before my court hearing to get a mediation scheduled and during that she was on he...r laptop paying no attention to my case and acted like my questions were bothering her. I could not believe the situation I was in! She originally said she did not want to pursue relocation on temporary orders because it was a long shot but just changed her mind all of a sudden at the end of the mediation and said we might as well try it. She then hounded me for another payment to move forward with the divorce and relocation. There are plenty of other well-qualified attorneys that you should look into.

No Communication

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.

REVIEW

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.
