Helpful, Professional and Wonderful

I found Jessica through a referral site, when trying to finalize my divorce that was filed in October of 2020. Jessica was prompt in responding to me and in our consultation she was straight forward, honest and so very helpful. Jessica was able to help me get everything squared away in less than a we...ek. I would recommend Jessica to ANY family member or friend seeking legal counsel or advice.

Amazing Attorney

The Worden Law Firm has the best turn around ever!!! My husband and I had a situation to where we needed a lawyer quick to help us out with a case that he has to get his daughter back. My husband spent hours trying to find a lawyer and left multiple voicemails for multiple lawyers and the only one th...at has stuck with me is JESSICA!!! She is absolutely amazing!!! She called us back with in a couple of hours. She was extremely friendly and ready to get down to business with helping my husband. She took a look at my husbands case and within the same hour called us back with next steps on how to proceed!!! Unfortunately we couldn't have her as our lawyer due to the case location but that didn't stop her from helping us. She took the time to email instructions on how to proceed with the case our selves and referred us to another great attorney as well as filled him in on the case. SHE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!!! If you are looking for a lawyer to help you out with your family law case... Jessica is the one for you!!!!

Excellent Attorney

Jessica gave me great legal advice to get me son returned to me. I hired her for custody enforcement case. She was direct and straight forward with me. She returned every call and email in a timely manner. She updated me at every step in the process. Her rates are affordable. I would retain Jessic...a again in a heart beat, if needed.

Saved the day in a pinch!

Jessica is excellent - sharp, competent and knowledgable. She was able to quickly turn a separation agreement around for me in a time crunch and handled it professionally and thoroughly. Jessica goes above and beyond for her clients. Jessica was thoughtful and thorough and leaves no stone unturned. I... felt protected and cared for and that my time was valuable to her. Highly recommend The Worden Law Firm!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jessica and I were opposing counsel on a divorce with unique (and difficult) real property issues. Jessica was always courteous in her dealings with me, but, more so, she worked with me to ensure that we reached a final result that was fair to both of our clients. As a result, I endorse Jessica Worden for divorce and family law matters."
