Ethical, Efficient, Empathetic and Expert in Estate Law and Litigation

I hired Jessica to navigate through a multi-state Estate Litigation. As an attorney myself, I appreciated her open communication with me as a client, clear articulation of the issues and a thoughtful legal strategy for a just and favorable global outcome. She is highly ethical, has a thoughtful cos...t/risk analysis of the issues and zealously represented the Estate. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her.

First rate lawyer

Jessica Catlin is a first rate lawyer on any rating scale. She not only knows the law and the procedures, she is an excellent reader of her client's actual legal needs, a top-notch communicator, and works with extraordinary patience and thoroughness to achieve the best possible outcome. I have reco...mmended her to many friends and colleagues, and will continue to do so, as well as hire her again as needed.

knows and quotes the law to win

Jessica Catlin used her expertise and knowledge of the law in my divorce case to fight for me & get me a decent outcome. we had 2 businesses and our partner is a billionaire..... very wealthy and powerful. Jessica was able to expose much & withstand some ridiculous power plays to make sure I w...ill have a financially secure life moving forward.

Caring and Compassionate Realist

Jessica helped me through a very difficult process and not only was she thoughtful and supportive, but she was able to articulate behavior and requests that would not accomplish the desired outcome. I would recommend her to anyone that needs legal assistance.

Jessica Higgins Catlin

Jessica has assisted with all aspects of my late father's estate. Everything has been done accurately, professionally, ethically, and with full explanations of all of the many choices to be made. Both my husband and I are lawyers, and lawyers can be demanding clients. I was especially impressed ...with Jessica's work in court, and at the Court of Appeals level of one of our disputes.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jessica Higgins Catlin for many years. We have worked together in many capacities: as opposing counsel, as counsel representing aligned parties in the same case, my serving as an expert witness for her clients and on bar association activities. Jessica is an outstanding lawyer. In addition, she is compassionate, empathic, ethical, industrious and a tireless advocate for her clients. Perhaps most importantly, Jessica has a wonderful sense of humor. Jessica is a joy to know and work with and I give her my highest recommendation.

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.
