Lacks Professional Communication Etiquette

I hired Jessica initially back in 2014 to address by DUI case, while I had experienced some issues with lack of proper communication, I did a mistake in hiring her again in 2017 to help me with expungement. I did so because I relocated and didn't know one else and so contacted her for help. As alw...ays she charged me all the fee upfront for both early termination of my probation and expungement, while I had no issues paying upfront, but realized that was the mistake I did second time with her. I hired her for this back in March, 2017 and have been regularly emailing, following up with her on her google voice number to get an update, but there was no response or update on my case after the initial review of the petition. I clearly informed her that I have a need to travel out of country for work and personal reasons and would like to clear before I do so, but it took more than a month for her to get back each time I tried contacting her. After 6 months in September of 2017 I had issues with my visa due to DUI and so had to schedule an appointment with embassy, so tried contacting Jessica multiple times both via emails and phone checking to see if she has any update, but no response. When contacted her from a different number, she confirmed that my case has been dismissed, but stated I will need to pay her more to get copies of my court documents. I asked her to write a letter stating that my case has been dismissed, so that I can leverage the same for my visa, she promised but never got back to me. I failed to provide supporting documentation to the embassy and my visa petition got rejected for the same. I am not trying to blame all of this on her, but as an attorney after accepting the case, one is required to communicate with client and provide regular updates. Jessica failed to do so, and as a result of the same I had to go through severe stress and anxiety and having gone through all of this, I would never recommend Jessica to anyone.

The only attorney to hire in San Francisco

There are lot of attorneys one can choose nowadays. Jessica did more for our family in a one-day consultation than a paid attorney did in 6 months. Not only is she willing to speak to you over the phone whenever you need 24/7, she is empathetic towards clients and actually listens to your needs. ...If I were in your shoes looking for legal representation from an honest, strong-willed, and dedicated person, Jessica is the one to have on your side. She'll fight hard for you and not give up until the best outcomes are achieved. Feel free to reach out to me if you need a verbal verification; happy to back her up

Jessica is responsive and effective

She helped me with a domestic civil issue and was able to resolve the matter quickly and efficiently. I would definitely refer anyone to her.

Is it possible to give more than 5 stars?!

I'm currently Jessica's client and have been working closely with her for the past 5 months or so. I highly recommend Jessica Beeler for so many reasons. She is truly passionate, caring, genuine, knowleable and really puts time into her clients. She really cares and is tough in the courtroom! I reall...y needed someone with her traits (aggressive, knowledgeable, tough, and etc.) She wants the best possible outcome and I felt and saw that right away which really made me feel confident and less stressed. This is not in easy time in my life, but having Jessica Beeler as my lawyer has taken so much stress off my back. Knowing I have her fighting for me just as she would fight for herself makes me so happy!

Jessica was incredibly helpful in figuring out my suspended license situation

Jessica is an incredibly kind and caring person. Her knowledge of traffic law is equally superb. She went above and beyond my expectations in helping me with my traffic tickets and suspended license. Unfortunately, she won't be representing me because I have to appear in court in sourthern california.... Even knowing this, she still stayed on the line patiently until all my questions were answered. Jessica is top-notch and professional and clearly loves helping people out of good will.
