Stay away

She was ok for my divorce, but totally dropped the ball on my custody case. My x-husband and his lawyer out smarted her and she was unprepared. I lost my son to his crazy father. I highly do not recommend Jessica.

I am sorry you feel that I was unprepared for your custody matter. You have posted anonymously so it is impossible for me to know who you are. I do not have any current or recent clients who are unhappy with my services and fit your profile. This may be an opposing party. I would be happy to discuss this matter more offline to ensure its accuracy and see what I could do to rectify the situation and make sure no other client feels this way in the future.

Waste of money

Jessica did a horrible job representing me in court. She stumbled on her words and seemed under educated. She helped my ex more then me.

Excellence in Action

I retained Ms. Pedemonte last summer to represent me during my divorce after a one hour consultation with her. During the consultation she asked specific questions about my situation and gave me what turned out to be very accurate estimations of what I could expect during the process as well as outc...omes regarding child support and alimony. Every meeting we had together was focused and efficient and trial prep went very smoothly. She was very timely in her responses to my questions and needs as was her amazing support staff. I felt she was always working for my best interest and helped me keep focused on the most important issues of my case. During a preliminary hearing and the three days of our trial, Ms. Pedemonte presented a well rounded case and argued passionately for me. I was very happy with the results and I'm so thankful I chose to hire her. This was money very well spent! I would highly recommend Jessica Pedemonte to anyone seeking an attorney to represent them for a divorce. Thanks again Jessica!

Very Happy!

I hired Jessica Pedemonte after firing John Eckrem for not doing his job. Sad I didn't find her sooner but glad I did! Let me just say it was a breath of fresh air working with Jessica. Even just going into the office felt better. The staff are very attentive, competent and friendly. Jessica is very ...informative, understanding and actually cares about her cases/ clients. She would always get back to me either the same day I contacted her or within 24 hours. She was 100 percent on my case from the very start. Filing everything that needed to be filed at a fast timely manner. Always keeping me up to date about what is going on. Not to mention she was also playing catch up from what my last lawyer failed to do but she did it and very well. Court is a very scary thing to have to go through but she always reassured me and made me feel comfortable. When it came to going to court I can't even express enough how happy I am. She represented me and my case so well. She is very good at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone I know. I am proud to say that I won my case and then some. I won full sole custody of my children and everything I wanted out of my divorce. All thanks to Jessica Pedemonte! If I ever need another attorney she will be my go to girl!

Highly recommend

When my ex-husband left for another women and filed for divorce without me having a clue I turned to Jessica. I felt I was playing catch up with four kids, a mortgage, job, and a part-time student she caught me up to speed on what I needed to do next. He had already retained a lawyer and she took my... case and I received everything I wanted. My children, the house, and support! She was patient, kind, and responded to all my concerns no matter of importance to my case. I would highly recommend her and know that she is busy cause she's good at what she does.
