Posted by Deb | January 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Integrity, Expertise , Excellence

My divorce was just finalized and I will be eternally grateful to my attorney, Jessica Watson, for her professionalism, integrity, focus, and caring support. Throughout our negotiations, Ms. Watson remained calm and in control, despite highly contentious and aggressive posturing. Documents were w...ithheld, money was hidden, court orders were violated, and yet, Ms. Watson responded quickly and effectively in each situation. Because of her knowledge and expertise, she skillfully kept our negotiations on course, mediating a successful settlement. Ours was a 30+ year marriage. He had been a professional for 35 years, negotiating with labor unions, contractors, etc. and managing multi-million dollar budgets. He could be charming or intimidating. I was afraid of him and lacked self-confidence. Ms. Watson gave me solid caring support, expert advice, and an open line of communication. She kept me informed of each new development and included me in every decision. As a result, I not only have a very satisfactory settlement, but renewed self-confidence. She truly cares about her clients, is patient, highly intelligent and absolutely ethical. I am pleased to give her my highest and utmost recommendation.

"I endorse this lawyer. She is easy to work with and, at the same time, is a strong advocate for her clients. By being easy to work with, this keeps down the tension in Family Cases and allows the parties and/or their attorneys to focus on issues, rather than drama."

  • 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.
