An Amazing Attorney

I hired Jessica after three awful attorneys I had for my divorce case. She was able to complete the job even though my ex would not cooperate. She put a stop to the stalling. A lot of attorneys will stall to cost you more money. They will lie to you to cost you more money, but thankfully Jessica is n...ot a dishonest attorney. She will get what you are requesting and nothing more or less saving you money and headaches. She will give you honest advice and represent you in court thoroughly even when you can't attend! I am very grateful to have had her on my case. She was able to get the judge to order my ex to pay half of the fees she charged me along with some other money he owed me. I would still be going through that never ending divorce if I had not hired her. Thank you again Jessica you truly are an awesome attorney.

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.

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 Support in Travis County

Jessica has been my 2nd lawyer I have had throughout my lifetime. She is well experienced and always there when you need her. Throughout our one year voyage with the ugly Travis County system I counted on her for everything. She continually advised me on every decision and I felt she was on my sid...e all the way. She did not only look at winning the case, she worked every avenue to get me all that I desired. Jessica was more than my lawyer, she turned out to be a friend I can trust. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs justice served.

Great attorney that is affordable and cares!

I had 3 lawyers over 4 years and Jessica got more done in a few days than some other attorney's got done in months. She is knowledgeable, affordable, honest and really cares about her clients.

As a result, I endorse Jessica Worden for divorce and family law matters."
