Jessica Higgins Catlin

If you want the absolute BEST attorneys your search ends here with Jessica Catlin and Jonathan Leinheardt at Strickler Catlin LLC. During what was undoubtedly one of the most difficult, devastating, challenging times of my life, this brilliant legal team proved to be invaluable. They are truly maste...rs of their craft and they operate with unparallel legal prowess, sensitivity and grace. The genuine care and empathy shown allowed me to feel seen and understood. Their brilliance, professionalism, and timely communication helped alleviate my stress during a very emotional process, but more importantly Jessica and Jonathan are excellent, highly experienced litigators which is an extremely important trait that should NOT be overlooked when selecting an attorney. My probate case was exceedingly complicated, much more so than originally anticipated. This superb team did not miss a beat, they understood the details thoroughly, expertly preparing documents and filings tailored to my very specific needs. My multitude of questions was met with patience followed by thorough explanations. The entire team took the time to review and explain absolutely everything I needed to know, and they expertly prepared me for mediation, hearings and a possible trial. Mitzi the legal secretary and the paralegals Brenda O’Brien and Erica Slauson are phenomenal. I worked primarily with Brenda but was grateful that when she was out on vacation Erica stepped in to help in her absence. That’s the thing about a great team; they work seamlessly with one another. I think it’s also important to mention that despite being fierce, formidable litigators, Jessica and Jonathan operate with decorum, treating opposing counsel and opposing counsel’s clients respectfully. Trust me when I tell you, that a lawyer that does not hold themselves or their client(s) to this same standard comes across as unprofessional, angry, cruel and disrespectful, which is not a good look and will NOT help your case. In the end, because of Jessica, Jonathan and their incredible legal team, a feeling of helplessness was transformed into one of being supported, respected, and heard. They gave me a voice, provided a safe haven, gave me a coat of armor and allowed me to have hope. They re-humanized me by empowering me with a qualified team of professionals, by believing in me and my case and advocating for my rights. They looked out for me when the people that were supposed to didn’t, which is not only a testament to their character, but also to their commitment to humanity and justice. It was truly a pleasure and a privilege to have such fine individuals in my corner. I am profoundly grateful for the entire team at Strickler Catlin LLC, and I highly recommend them!

Jessica was professional and very easy to work with including a friendly office Staff (Mitzi). She helped me to create a Living Will in record time and gave me some valuable advice on another estate that I was dealing with. I would highly recommend going to Jessica Catlin. The office was bright, c...lean and comfortable too.

As personal representative of my Dad's estate, I hired Jessica for legal expertise in getting the necessary financial information from various entities that were otherwise unwilling to provide it, and to resolve a major issue between me and another family member related to the estate. At the time I h...ired Jessica, I had been trying to resolve these issues for more than a year. Within a short time Jessica was able to secure the financial information that I needed, and within months she had us before a mediator, then a court hearing, then final negotiations to conclude all of the issues related to the estate. She has consistently been very responsive by email or phone, watches timelines and follows up on outstanding issues without any prompting, and demonstrates in all of our dealings her outstanding knowledge of statute and case law and strategies on how to resolve the estate issues.

Jessica represented me in my divorce which involved 34 years of marital property including my very successful business of the same age. I could not have been more pleased. Her reputation proceeded her in dealing with my ex and her council. Extreme attention to detail and tenacity could be named as... her trademarks. You need someone like Jessica in your corner when it counts!

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.
