When you need someone on your side

Jessica was the calm, smart, and knowlegable friend who protected me and my son when I was scrared, depressed, and angry at end of my relationship with his mother. My son's mother threatened that our son would live with her, and I would only be allowed to see him when she saw fit. I was devastated an...d demoralized at the idea of not being able to see my son. I was a shambles when I sat down for my first appointment with Jessica. I'd never worked with a lawyer before: was it going to be all business, or could I share my fears, grief? Jessica made space for me to reveal to her the wreck that I was. It was vital to me to show her how important my son was to me, how scared I was by the threats our son's mother had made. She let me know she'd dealt with other fathers as scared as I was, that she understood the fear the legal system can inspire when a parent is already in fight-or-flight mode because of the end of a relationship. Then she walked me step-by-step through how the process goes, never impatient at having to re-explain the details to me. It was also important to me that I remain a “good guy”. I didn't want to do any character assasination to my son's mother, I didn't want to be adversarial in court. Jessica agreed with me, and together we crafted all communications with the opposing counsel, and the court. We won, but even if I hadn't I wouldn't regret having hired Jessica. After my experience with her, I don't believe there is anyone who could have done a better job.

Giving peace of mind to a difficult situation

I was given Jessica's information from a fellow lawyer. I am so pleased with how my case was handled by her and her staff. If I ever had a question I knew I could shoot her an email or phone call and she would prompt to get back to me if she was unavailable immediately. Jessica was professional, c...aring, empathetic, and prompt. Nobody ever wants to deal with divorce, separation or family troubles. In some cases it's inevitable. Unfortunately it was what had to be done in my situation. She always made me feel comfortable and I never felt judged. She has amazing associates and staff. I'm sorry if you are having to look in to divorce or separation, I know it's hard and scary. Having Jessica on my side and there to back me up was the best decision I could have made. I assure you that she goes above and beyond the call of duty for her clients. I always felt well cared for and if I was ever unsure about something she was able to explain it to me in normal language and in a way that made sense. I highly recommend Jessica if you are in a sticky situation with divorce or separation. I know it's hard and not where you would have ever imagined being but having Jessica there to walk you through it to the end is an awesome feeling. I appreciated all of the care and time she put in to my case and how she made me feel that she truly cared for myself and my son. She is simply amazing.

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.
