Great Attorney - Great Team

A divorce is never easy especially when children are involved. I wanted an attorney who was professional, honest and always had me and my children's best interest in mind. Jessica Worden is that attorney. Jessica's compassion and constant words of encouragement eased the worries and stress I had ...during my divorce. Jessica and her paralegal, Scott Love, promptly returned all of my phone calls, text messages and emails. I'm so grateful for Jessica and Scott guiding me through every step of the divorce process with such compassion and care. I highly recommend The Worden Law Firm.

Child Custody

Jessica and her staff were very helpful to our son case. She was a very good listener and very patient with us. She took our case and thought it would be over in about 6 months but it wasn't and she just kept on hanging in there with us. She is a fighter and can handle her self in a courtroom. I wou...ld recommend her to anyone who needs a good lawyer. She answered calls in the evening and on weekends and holidays. I know she has put plenty of hours in to my sons case and she has been understanding at every assist of the way. Men or Women if you need a GREAT lawyer please give her a call she will do everything in her power of law to help. Jessica and her team ROCKS.

I wish I knew about her sooner!

Jessica Worden really came through for me! She was recommended by a trusted friend, so I took a chance and so glad I did. Jessica is extremely professional, organized, knowledgeable and a bulldog in court. She really cares about her clients and seeing justice served!

The Worden Effect

Jessica came along at a time in my life when I was in need of legal protection. She did a great job of keeping me abreast of what was happening in my situation and my options. I would surely recommend her to anyone going through a marital impasse!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
