Distinguished, exceptional and ingenious

In my parenting time and child support case, Jessica was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was also very responsive anytime I had questions. Jessica’s legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. In the court room she is composed, prepared and a force to be reckoned with. If... your seeking legal help with family law call Jessica.

Compassionate, Honest and Fair

I would recommend Jessica to anyone needing help, even if you are just wondering if you have a case. She saw me within a day, which was great because I was on a time crunch. She wasn't able to take my case because of the type of case it was. She was honest and didn't want to put me in a position o...f trial and error in order to learn a new branch of law. However, she gave me some great advice and boosted my confidence in what I thought was a grim outlook for me. She gave me some great referrals and I am on my way to what I believe will be a successful outcome for myself. Not only that, but when she couldn't take my case she refunded my consultation fee. She unknowingly helped me do exactly what I came to see her for. Jessica is intelligent and professional but compassionate, which is hard to find nowadays.

Poor Consultation

I paid Jessica Pedemonte a $100 fee for an hour consultation starting at 10:00 A.M. She led me into her office at 10:10 and then completed the consultation at 10:40 for a total of about 30 minutes. During the consultation, I told her about a case that I wanted an advocate for with DHS. Rather than te...lling me what all of my options might be, she concluded before knowing any of the facts that I would lose a case with them (she did not even mention I could defend myself in a case with them), and then tried to convince me that losing is not so bad. The issue had to do with child custody, and she tried to minimize the importance of custodial rights without knowing any details of my situation. I had to bring up the possibility of particular options, but she did not pursue these very far and frankly seemed unwilling to help me. Contrary to her claim on her website, she is definitely not an aggressive advocate, and she charged me for an hour's time but only spent 30 minutes with me.

I am sorry you had a bad experience in the consultation. I strive to give every potential client sound legal advise, including any potential pitfalls of a case. In every consultation I discuss parent's rights as a custodial or non-custodial parent. It is important to me that every person walks out of my office armed with more information than they started the meeting with. At the conclusion of a consultation I ask if the person has any questions and once I have answered them all the consultation comes to a close. This sometimes takes more or less than an hour. I hope you are able to find someone that is a better fit.
