She made everything so easy.

Jessica is the best, I had such a wonderful experience with her She dealt with everything so my son didn't even have to go into court, which was difficult to do because he's mentally ill. I would recommend her to anyone.

Best experience possible

I would highly recommend Jessica Worden for a family law issue. Her prices were the most reasonable compared to the other attorneys I consulted with. She was very up-front about what was going to happen and made sure there weren't any surprises. Her court schedule and my work schedule typically in...terfered with each other so it was definitely nice to be able to communicate with her via email. The only time I ever saw her were the 2 times we went to court, with the second time ending in the judge siding with me. I felt like things would not go in my favor due to being a man and asking for primary custody of the kids. Jessica told me exactly what she needed to help me and I gave her the requested information. I'm very happy with the way things turned out and very confident in my decision to choose Jessica Worden as my attorney.

AMAZING!!!!

I had to do a termination of parental rights, and let me tell you I was so nervous but Jessica reassured me and to let her handle the "stress". She put my mind to ease and was so prompt with everything! Next thing I know is the termination was completed and my daughter now belongs to me and my husban...d! We are so happy that we were recommended to Jessica as we heard how amazing she is at what she does AMAZINGLY. No words will ever be able to express how happy we are! Thank you Jessica!!

Jessica Worden is a Boss

My divorce was the crappiest thing I’ve ever went through—custody battles, a cheating ex, threats of losing my house—and I’m so glad to have worked with Jessica on not only surviving it, but, in the end, feeling like I came out on top. She was always a straight-talker and got things done efficiently...—she even steadied the ship when my ex changed lawyers mid-stream, sending us back to the beginning of the process. I recommend Jessica without hesitation—she’s compassionate when you need that, and a stone-cold killer when you need that. Awesome.

So glad I found her!

I found Jessica and was able to hire her just 2 days before my child custody hearing. Stressful and awful as this experience was she made the whole thing easier to take. She has a fantastic positive attitude and is quit witted and strong willed. Having her on my side at one of the most difficult time...s in my life was a God send. Jessica will forever be my go to attorney. Thanks so much for your advice and hard work!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
