This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

My ex husband wrote the review with 2 stars, I was on the opposing side, I'm the ex-wife

My Jessner was incredibly professional, asstute and effective as an attorney for my ex-husband. I saw the review my ex wrote and think it's only fair that I respond also. My ex trashes people whom he does not want to pay, he's a bully and please do not judge Mr. Jessner on the 2 star review; at the ...time he was representing my ex, I'd wished Mr. Jessner were MY attorney. I hope this site takes down the review by my ex, Mr Jessner in no way deserves anything but praise, I know what's it's like to be trashed for no reason, there was NO reason for that review.

Tremendous lawyer

Incredibly smart, patient, and hard working. Helped me immensely through a very difficult time. Very good in court and in pleadings. A strong advocate but doesn't fight just for the sake of fighting.

Greg is a nice guy, just not a good divorce lawyer

Greg is a good person who was used as a mop by opposing counsel. He had a hard time handing my lying ex's lying attorney and froze in court and in communication with opposing counsel. He does not have the ability to negotiate a settlement with difficult, high conflict divorce. He also missed court... deadlines and wanted us to go easy on the ex because she was female - even though she and her attorney pulled every dirty trick possible. He was in over his head, had no idea what to do and did not take the legal recourse needed to get important information. I found another attorney who led well and was able to handle the ex and her counsel well.
