Excellent Criminal Law Attorney

I contacted Jessica Worden two months ago about helping my nephew resolve his misdemeanor charge in Williamson County, Texas. After months of being frustrated with trying to contact the court to handle the problem ourselves, I hired her on my nephew's behalf and she put us at ease immediately. Jessi...ca was a straight shooter from the beginning - pretty much no fluff. She also made us feel like my nephew was her only client although I know that she has many clients. She even sat beside my nephew during a jail call - when all of the other attorneys spoke to theirs over the railing or while standing beside them in the aisle. She also really seems to love her job. Jessica was always professional, courteous, and very quick to respond to any of my questions during business hours - especially by email. My nephew walked away with the lightest sentence he could have received. I highly recommend Jessica Worden.

Got the job done!

I was referred to use Jessica by a family member and could not have been more pleased. Big decisions needed to be made in regards to family can be very emotionally and financially stressful. She made it very easy. Very informative, super patient and FIESTY! She does not settle for less and made sure... to lay all options out on the table to explore with confidence. A firecracker that knows what she does very well! I have recommended her and will continue to do so!

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.
