Excellent lawyer to work with.

Needed a divorce lawyer doing COVID-19 and Jessica was there to guide me through the process. I was going though a lot at the time so I needed someone to quickly take action and work through the divorce proceedings with me. We got everything done online in a timely manner. Plus when the divorce was f...inalized, she sent additional information and agencies that I need to contact to change my last name. Jessica Worden will be my first choice for other legal issues in the future.

yes

I lived in Dallas, TX. Hired her for represent my divorce case in Georgetown, TX since June, 2016. Have not met her in person yet, just a few conversation over the phones. We exchanged emails, reviewed important legal documents information. She responded all my emails when I asked or needed. She is m...y third lawyer on the case. I paid the 2 previous lawyers but did not get the job done. Jessica Worden’s amazing! I will recommend she name to other if they need a lawyer. Thank you!

Efficient and Responsive

I hired Ms. Worden to represent me in my divorce. She was efficient, responsive and had great communication. She responded to every question quickly and kept me informed of all the steps needed.

The Best Attorney I Know

Jessica helped me in my divorce case where two children were involved, and a less that cooperative spouse and attorney. She responded to me quickly, did not judge, and offered invaluable information and explanations. We had two phone calls, and handled most things via email. The first day we met was ...the day we went to court. I finalized in 6 months (4 months total representation) with child support, possession and custody, as well as health insurance figured out and completed fairly. I would use her again and again if I ever needed to. She is on your side and will make sure you get what you need!

Outstanding attorneys

Jessica was great, friendly, great with my son, worked hard on my case, got great results. She had to deal with a very difficult attorney . His attorney did no shows, never answer email,Jessica tried so hard to take care of it without going to Court but his attorney just won't reply. So we went to Co...rt and won.

  • 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.
