DONT HIRE

Jessica took my case in Brazos county and did not at all do what she said she would. She constantly pushed dates back, only showed up in person to one hearing after being 2 hours late for going to the wrong court house in another county. I decided to go another direction and she promised me a refund ...that I still have not received years later after multiple attempts to reach her about it. Do not hire her.

I want to take a moment to thank and recognize my attorney, Jessica, for the incredible work she did on my custody case. As a father, I started this journey feeling like the odds were stacked against me. My ex was unstable, homeless at times, and frequently moving around, staying with different famil...y members throughout Texas. Despite having a court order in place, she repeatedly violated it—keeping my kids from me, hiding them, and making visitation nearly impossible. I could honestly write a book about everything that went wrong. But Jessica stood by me every step of the way. She fought hard, stayed focused on what mattered, and never let up. She believed in my right to be a father to my children—both my daughter and my son—and thanks to her dedication and relentless work, the court ruled in my favor. I now have custody of my kids. If you're a father who thinks you can't win custody, I'm living proof that you can—with the right attorney. Jessica is that attorney. I would absolutely hire her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone going through a tough custody battle.

Would hire again!

I would recommend Jessica for anybody needing to hire an attorney knowledgeable in family court. She exposed my ex-husband’s weaknesses and In accuracies in court in front of the judge and therapist. I wish I had all of it on film! She was able to draw out his true identity. She was thorough with h...er research and on time for court and all paperwork needed in the case. What also was very helpful is that she has a good working relationship with multiple lawyers mediators judges and therapists in the courthouse. That is invaluable. She is very friendly and professional.

Works for the Mahoneys

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.

Mr. Howell, I am sorry that you feel this way. I cannot go in to specifics of your case, however, I will say that you and I both know I made every attempt to resolve this matter for you and have proof of times I attempted to contact you. When you did not want to pay the additional cost to complete your case I retuned your unused funds and even gave you credits on your account for services rendered. Either way, I am very happy that things worked out for you and your family and I wish you all the best.

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.
