SHE MAKES IT EASY

From the day I first met Jocelyn I knew I had chosen the right attorney. From signing paperwork to having conversations, it could not have been more thorough and easy on my end. She will make sure you get compensated justly and will not take no for an answer. She is so professional and she definitely... has the awards to back up her work. She keeps you updated and always prepares you for what’s to come. Nothing but Awesome 5 stars ++++++

Do yourself a favor and hire this lawyer!!

Almost exactly a year ago I was in a bad car accident. I was rear ended and had both front and rear cameras on my car to show the accident was not my fault. Enter Jocelyn Sicat! She asked me for two things, my patience and my trust. After talking through my case with her, she easily earned both of th...ose things. Jocelyn is present, attentive, thorough, honest, and goes so far above and beyond what I could have expected. I appreciated that I always knew when we were making progress and that Jocelyn often started by saying, "Your worst case scenario is _____, but you know I never try to settle for your worst case scenario." As a result of that, Jocelyn settled my case for almost 2x my "worst case scenario," which is so far above and beyond anything I could have asked for! I cannot recommend Attorney Jocelyn Sicat enough! Do yourself, your friends, and your family the favor of hiring her!!

Workers Comp case handled smoothly and professionally

I struggled to decide to pursue a lawsuit while a cried my eyes out at my doctors office who is not able to assist me further because she is not a worker’s comp doctor. I had a hard time getting appointments to get my care so I was referred to Attorney Sicat and as I was talking and relaying my stor...y, I was balling in tears again as the person on the other side of the phone attempted to console me. Atty. Sicat and her staff specifically Annabelle were so accommodating, patient and kind as they listened to my frustrations. Annabelle follows through with me every month and guided me through the process and was able to get me appointments to get treated and Atty. Sicat was so thorough and made me feel like she has my back. Those challenging times when I was in pain, in sorrow and felt all alone Atty Sicat and Annabelle made me feel welcome and embraced. I wouldn’t have known what to do or how to go about my situation and they guided me . I highly recommend Atty. Sicat and her staff for handling my case professionally and for fighting for me and for handling my case smoothly and closing my case in a timely manner.

Superb and knowledgeable

Jocelyn came highly recommended to me through a family member of mine. She did not disappoint!:) I was involved in an auto accident (I was not at fault) Jocelyn took full control, guided me towards the correct Drs and ultimately won me my case. Amazing and smooth process!

3rd time and Jocelyn is still a Charm!

This is my 3rd time utilizing Jocelyn’s services. Long story short, I was injured in my previous job and the insurance company wanted to settle. What they offered wasn’t close to being fair and sufficient. I let Jocelyn take it from there. She communicated with me every time there was progress. In a ...very short amount of time, she doubled what the insurance company offered without having to do any follow up exams. I hope I have 9 lives so she can save me 6 more times! 3rd time, she is still a charm!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
