Excellent

Jessica was really great at helping me understand how the process would go down when it was time to file for child custody, and what paper work was required of me to sign and give to her to have my statement heard in the court room. She also made me feel very safe and sound through the court hearing.... Jessica was willing to take my case right away and for a reasonable price.

Jessica is amazing

I hired Jessica for a consultation, she spent two hours with me answering all my questions. She provided me with the tools I needed to start the process in a case of my special needs kid. I’ve emailed her with more questions and she has replied back in a timely manner. Once this process is done, I’ll... definitely contact Jessica again so she can fight for my son’s rights.

Didn't receive services from Jessica Joyce Burguan

Jessica Joyce Burguan made it seem like she was going to do something about my case. I hired her, after i went forward paid in full she then E-mails me about what she was going to do and repeatedly claim that it was getting done. Never did majority of what she claims she was doing was accomplished. M...ajority of the charges i got done myself by calling the obusman office and talking to the case worker and filing complaints to the caser worker and attorney through DCS. I was charged for my mother speaking to Jessica when i specifically had email Jessica asking her not to speak to my mother about my case unless she cant get a hold of me and its an emergency. When my court date came up at the same time and day of the motion that she had put in herself she didn't attend the court date nothing was accomplished. She had another person take over her place over the phone he did absolutely nothing but sit on the phone and said i dont know whats going on and that he didn't know what to say knows nothing about the case. My mother never got the home study done that she claims was done. My visits with my child still stands the same i dont receive still and not in my home. I am now getting my classes done only cause the judge keeps saying something to DCS and i put in a complaint about it. My son is still in housing danger DCS is removing him from my family if they cant find replacement for my child or my mother home study not geting done.

Replied last July 21, 2018

I am sorry that you feel this way considering we won the Motion that was filed on your behalf. However, when a judge orders DCS to respond there are various steps that need to occur including putting in referrals since DCS generally contracts with providers. Thus, once a judge orders DCS to do something there is still a bit of a waiting period. Unfortunately, courts and DCS do not always move at the pace client's want. To be clear, I have never discussed any facts related your case with anyone other than you. I did confirm with your mother that she wanted your child in your home. I wish you the best in the furture.

Dcs Case

Jessica is an amazing attorney my case is finally closed and i am over excited about this. She is an amazing lawyer she stood by me and helped me make the best decisions that i could have ever made to help my case get closed. I have been in addiction for 14 years and Jessica did not judge me. She tak...es in everything that is told to her and she is not any average attorney she knew my case by name and every detail about my case. She would go above and beyond what she could do and reach as far as she could without over reaching. She always returned my calls and always stood by me in my decisions and never thought twice. If i was over thinking something she let me know and broke it down to me. I love how she was able to close my case successfully. My life has changed for the best.
