The perfect lawyer to support me through the divorce process
From the moment I met Jessica, she was professional and a clear advocate for me. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me. Throughout our 2+ years working together, she was respectful, caring, knowledgeable, cost-conscious, and clear in her communication. I always knew my options and she didn't hesitate to walk me through them again when I got overwhelmed or give me the time I needed to think about what I wanted to do. I felt fully prepared any time we would go in to negotiations and knew that she was there to get the best outcome for me and my child. Plus, to top it off, she has a good sense of humor, which made the whole process of this high-conflict divorce bearable. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, Jessica is the lawyer you want on your side.

Forever grateful for Jessica and her team!
From the moment I talked to Jessica on the phone for my initial consultation, to the moment I received the notice of termination of attorney/client relationship following my divorce, I felt heard, empowered, and respected. Some of the very first things I noticed with Jessica and her team was their promptness and professionalism; they responded same day, sometimes literally within minutes/hours of an email or phone call, which was so important to me in order to keep the process moving forward in a timely manner. They operated like a well-oiled machine, but in a personable way! Reliable, objective, knowledgeable, calm.. all of which I wanted and needed going through a divorce. They were efficient with their communication, which seemed intentional and it made me feel that they were mindful about their time and resources and the eventual cost to me as their client. I can genuinely say that Jessica was not only a vital part of my divorce from a legal standpoint, but she helped me mentally and emotionally by making the most unpleasant and stressful period of my life a little less so because of her support. I knew she had my best interest in mind and that brought me moments of peace and gratitude during an otherwise very turbulent time. Can't recommend Jessica enough!! I will be forever grateful!

True counsel that helped restore my personal trust in humanity, moral and justice
Jessica was recommended to me by U.S. Department of State's office as one of the experienced lawyers dealing in international family cases, and I have many times since thought what stroke of luck or faith it was as I can not imagine having a better advocate and counsel on my side through what was not an easy legal process. From the very initial contact, Jessica showed that she was a real professional, fully analyzing all the aspects of the case and making sure that she can set aside time to you as a client, but once you have her on your side you simply constantly get amazed by who she is and what she can do! Through months of intensive work, she shifted her roles at need from a (1) professional and brilliant lawyer who has strategy well thought of, thinks few steps in advance, prepares, consults with other professionals and makes sure that the work done by her and her team is nothing short of exemplary, (2) consultant who lays out to you all possible scenarios and takes time to help you understand each step of legal process, helps you through decision process when decisions need to be made and does not promise what she can not back up, (3) personal counsel who always has your and your family's interest at heart, shows compassion when you need it and gives you strength at darkest times and when you loose faith and feel overwhelmed. Whatever problem we encountered she always faced them head on, not loosing the focus for a second, not running away from facing the opposing side when needed and fighting for me fiercely in the courtroom, but at all times still doing it respectfully and gracefully. I admire her dedication and hard work and would sincerely recommend to anyone needing a representation in a family case, of having Jessica and her team by your side, as I have really not seen better. She and her team showed respect at all times for our cultural differences and were always open to hear, understand and explain, always making sure I felt involved in the process. Through what was an undeniably the most difficult period of my life, Jessica's knowledgeable, factual, intelligent and fierce yet compassionate approach really helped me restore my faith in humanity and moral and justice and I will forever remain grateful for having had this kind of support and friend by my side...

Hands down the best counsel to represent you. Compassionate, fierce, attentive and so much more..
There won’t be enough characters allowed for me to explain how amazing Jessica and her team are to work with. Choosing Jessica will be the best decision you make for your divorce, especially if it’s a high conflict one. Jessica pays very close attention to detail and with the high conflict divorce I went through, that was full of many lies, it was SO important to have someone like her that is very detail oriented. Jessica truly values her clients and wants the best for them. She believes in them and fights SO hard for what is right. She was my rock through my divorce. I was obviously knew to the process but she helped me each step of the way, making sure I understood what was going to happen. We did end up in court, for several days and Jessica rocked it in that courtroom. We were prepared and the judges appreciate someone who comes prepared, trust me! If you have kids involved in your divorce Jessica with work with you to come up with the best plan for them and you but always making sure your kids are safe, which is number one priority. At times I had moments I wanted to give up but she kept me focused and reminded me I can do hard things. It's importnant to have someone who believes in you and that is what Jessica will be for you. We were up against the worst of the worst and I know that no one but Jessica could have gotten us through what we went through together. From mediation to drug/alcohol reports to custody evaluator and court plus so much in between she held it together for us. Jessica AND her team will be in your corner to support you and make sure you get what you deserve. The outcome we got was exactly what we wanted and then some. I would and will always recommened Jessica. You will be very thankful you hired Jessica to represent you, I promise.

Brilliance in all aspects
There just isn't enough positive adjectives to describe Jessica Flint as an attorney and person. Jessica helped direct me through the most difficult stage of my life with and I cannot thank her enough. She was my ultimate positive force. Jessica is not only brilliant, her compassion rivals her brilliance. She kept me focused when I desperately wanted to shut down. Jessica came highly recommended and her performance has exceeded all expectations. She is a truly wonderful person who is unmatched in her profession. I would recommend Jessica to any and all that are going through their most difficult time. She will take care of you and set you up to be in the most optimal situation possible. She will be there from the beginning through the end and you will certainly feel heard, understood and thankful. Jessica is relentless in her defense of her clients and she makes you feel like you are protected and cared for. I came into this process with zero understanding of how it works. Jessica simplified things that were difficult for me to understand and took the time to ensure I was comfortable and knowledgeable about all details. Her ability to understand human interaction and the needs of her clients is exemplary. Simply put, Jessica can make your darkest day much brighter. She will lead you out the other side. She is a truly unrivaled attorney and most of all an unrivaled human. I am so thankful for my experience with Jessica and her team. They truly are the best of the best. If I could rate her a 10 out of 5, I would with no hesitation. She is one of the most impressive people I have ever met in my life and all of her clients are lucky she chose this as her profession as she would be the most excellent at whatever she chose to do. Given the opportunity, hire Jessica as your attorney and you will be very happy with your choice. She is excellence personified.

Far exceeded my experience
I can´t say enough positive things about my experience with Jessica as my divorce attorney. Jessica helped me through this challenging process from beginning to end. She was supportive and also held me accountable in a very positive way when things got overwhelming. I needed that. She made sure every detail was covered and was always thinking out ahead of what needed to be done. She was so well prepared for the mediation process and so professional during a very intense day of negotiations. She caught important details that the other attorneys did not and stayed focused on the most important issues. Although it was an expensive process, it was worth every cent for being able to reach a settlement that was fair for both parties. The experience exceeded my expectations. Jessica was a true advocate who showed that she cared about my best interest and it showed in the results. I would highly recommend working with her.

The Most Hard Working, Intelligent, Compassionate, Dedicated, Confident Lawyer you want in your corner!
Jessica Flint is the best of the best and the lawyer/warrior you want in your corner! I came to Jessica a very broken person with no confidence in lawyers or the legal system due to having a very complicated and long drawn out case. It was immediately apparent how intelligent and knowledgeable Jessica is in family law and domestic violence cases, which is exactly what I needed. Once I had Jessica in my corner I was immediately given reassurance that everything would be okay and we would get my case back on track. Jessica from day one made me and my children feel like we were her number one priority and that has never changed. Jessica is very protective of her clients and when they are being attacked by the opposing side she takes it as a personal attack against herself and shuts it down in the most professional way I have ever seen. Jessica takes pride in her work and it shows in everything she does. She is very skilled in being able to navigate the aggressive opposing side with elegance and grace, she has always kept me aware of everything going on with my case, she always makes her deadlines with time to spare as to keep the stress minimal. Jessica takes the time to explain legal issues that can be confusing and never makes you feel dumb or like your wasting her time getting clarification. My case has been a two part case that’s dealt with custody/parenting time, and the other part being my restraining order case. I have gotten to experience the lioness in the courtroom I have heard about. Jessica knows how to navigate the courtroom and has definitely gained the respect from the judge on her ability to present and close her case and submit her evidence. Leading up to the restraining order hearing I was so scared but not just because of the hearing, but seeing my abuser. Jessica met with me outside of the courthouse and calmed all my nerves with her confidence, reassurance, and explaining how she would support me during my testimony. I left the courthouse with hope, strength, hunger, and a fire not give up, and to protect not only myself but my children as well. I would not have been able to do this without Jessica. We still have a fight left but with her confidence and continued support I know we will get through it and everything will be okay. Jessica without a doubt is the person I would recommend to any one of my close relatives or friends in a similar situation.

Excellent attorney; Most recommended
Divorces are devastating, but Jessica took such good care of my daughter and I. She was the utmost professional, always honest and upfront. She's very knowledgeable, not just with the law, but with people and relationships. She invested herself in my case personally and cared greatly about the outcome of our lives. She listened to me, supported me, comforted me, and guided me through a very traumatizing process that no one wants to go through. She was quick with her responses and did everything she could to move the process along swiftly and beneficially. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone seeking family law council, as she has proven her experience and dedication. I know I will continue our professional and friendly relationship for many years to come.

An Amazing, Smart & Compassionate Attorney and Woman
I found Jessica to be not only an amazing attorney but a kind and compassionate woman that gave me direction and support through one of the worst times of my life. She has a deep respect, knowledge and interpretation of the law and is a bulldog when it comes to defending her clients. In spite of working with a challenging opposing attorney, Jessica was steadfast in working through each conflict and did it with grace, calm & integrity. I was emotionally traumatized because of my divorce and found Jessica to be a strength for me when sometimes I felt like I couldn't fight anymore. She always had mine and my daughters best interest at heart not only for that time in our life but also for our future. In the end I prevailed and I owe that all to Jessica. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs an advocate that will fight for them. Three of my friends are now clients of Jessica's going through very similar situations as I did and I know they are in good hands. Thank you Jessica for your unwavering support and friendship! You're the best!

An Amazing Combination of Skill and Compassion
Jessica is a great attorney and a wonderful person - very personable and compassionate in the office and a tiger in the courtroom. She demonstrates a deep knowledge of the law which she uses to assess and mitigate risk. Jessica answered all my questions and I was always kept well informed as to the progress of my case as well as what issues may lie ahead. Jessica’s compassion has gotten me through, by far, the worst period of my life. I know I could not have survived the hurt and frustration my case has put me through without her support. She has been there for me from the first day I met her all the way through the settlement of my case, never wavering in her support of me. She is an honest and hardworking attorney that you can be proud to have represent you. I will always be grateful for her service, support, and friendship. She is truly a remarkable person.

Knowledge, steadfast, personal commitment and the self-confidence of a winner
Jessica is undeniably ethical, moral, and knowledgeable about the law, she takes her cases to a personal prideful level. I was informed every step of the way, I never felt alone and when you hire Jessica you can expect a true fierce advocate. She is compassionate, dedicated, and supportive and knows the system and how to strategically maneuver around and take the appropriate steps to achieve the best possible outcome. The opposing attorney was combative, unreasonable and unrealistic. Jessica was able to maneuver through many apposing attorney obstacles with composure and grace while being a strong aggressive advocate. She has the ability to calm your nerves and talk you through the most difficult situations. Jessica is sensitive, kind, professional and personable but at the same time like a lioness protecting her own. Jessica encouraged me to keep my focus on the end result and not get overtaken with emotion. I appreciated that Jessica was always responsive, available, organized and communicated all aspects of the case clearly. Jessica’s is unquestionably a compassionate supporter with a strong sense of right and wrong, her professional, kind and understanding demeanor lends itself well in the courtroom. Her presentations to the judge were well versed, factual and professional, it was obvious that she had gained his respect. Jessica, I want to thank you for your sincere compassion, attention to detail and the ability to address all of our concerns. You explained what was happening every step of the way with patience and understanding, I never felt alone. You took away much of the almost intolerable fear and apprehension that surrounds a child custody and visitation case. I appreciate your availability to communicate clearly and concisely with a calmness in the midst of a legal storm, this is remarkable. Anyone needing to hire an attorney with steadfast resolve, look no further!
