Fair deal out of a difficult ex

My ex-husband made the divorce process about as difficult as he could manage. He stalled, he approached negotiations in bad faith, he tried to go around my attorney, he tried to make me feel responsible for his emotional and financial well-being, he would wait until the absolute last second to bring ...up major questions and re-negotiations. Through the entire process, Jessy made me feel safe. When he came in with a last minute curve ball, she jumped on it and put in as much time as was needed to develop the strongest response possible. Every time. She was incredibly sympathetic, reassuring, and personable, but she also gave it to me straight when I needed it. I felt a little less helpless and alone when she walked me through each step. She really felt like a shield for me, and thanks to her I managed to get a fair settlement out of someone whose idea of fair is whatever works out best for him.

Walking away with everything I wanted

I cannot recommend Jessy highly enough. She secured the best possible deal for me and made sure I walked away with everything I worked so hard for. Her honesty, clear game plan, and sharp logical thinking truly set her apart. Most importantly, she helped me stay emotionally regulated throughout the p...rocess, guiding me away from making any wrong moves and keeping everything strategic and focused. Her steady support and sound judgment made all the difference. If you want an attorney who is not only skilled but genuinely invested in protecting your best interests, she is exceptional.

Professional and Knowledgeable

Ms. Morris was incredibly professional, organized, and knowledgeable about family law. No attorney worth your time is going to be "cheap" but I would say that Ms. Morris' rates were fair and I am happy to have spent the money to have my divorce resolved in a civil and timely manner. I would recommend... Ms. Morris to others navigating the difficult situation of divorce. She is kind, but firm and will work to ensure that you and your family are taken care of.

Thank you so much Jessy!

When it came time to call around for divorce attorneys, they all had a relatively common refrain: essentially, "abandon all hope and resign yourself to eternal suffering--you're ****ed." With the notable exception of Jessy from Hotley Law! When Jessy returned my call, she came PREPARED. Wanted ...all the details, listened extremely attentively, and laid out what the legal strategy, costs, benefits, etc were in proceeding. I can't thank Jessy and Solveig from Hotley Law enough. They handled all my questions, took care of the paperwork and any potential loose ends, and turned, well, let's be honest, a not-so-great experience into a 5-star one! For reals, thank you to Jessy, Solveig, and the team at Hotley Law from me and my kid for helping us get past this chapter and onto to the rest of our lives.

Best Family Lawyer

We had an unfortunate family event happen that caused us to search for a lawyer. We were relieved to find Jessy. She has been nothing but empathetic, knowledgeable, prompt, professional, articulate, and has a strong writing ability. It was a comfort to have her representing our case. She made the pro...cess as painless as possible. Thankfully everything has been resolved. We would not hesitate to use Jessy again in the future, if ever needed, and I would highly recommend her for YOU!
