Jessica C. Beatty

I was referred to Jessica by a family member who works in the courts and she turned out to be awesome! In the initial consultation she was very attentive and informative. She was there to "Listen" and ask how i wanted things to end up, and then made it happen. She was always available and responded w...ithin 24 hrs. As my case evolved she stayed atop all issued and handled everything in a timely fashion. She is very firm and frank and will guide you in a direct manor, but is always working for you. If i had to do it all over again she would be my only pick.

I started going to court in 2009 for child custody. I used 8 different attorneys not counting court appointed, GALs, and representing myself at time. I used attorneys that cost upwards of 450 per hour and the cases went on and on. In the end of 2017 court cases started again and a decided to obtain a...nother lawyer. I visited a law firm and placed a retainer only to find out literally a week before court the other party had obtained another lawyer in the same office so I would have to find another lawyer. What a gift it was. I ended up looking for law firms that specialized in helping fathers seeking custody for their children. Originally I was not supposed to meet with her but with someone else in the office. Since she was available I did my consultation with her. Originally I did not know she was an attorney I presumed she was a para-legal because she looked very young and still had the non-battle tested look as if she was fresh out of college. She was so easy to talk to it also made me wonder did she have the fight in her that I needed in this case. However I felt comfortable so when she stated she would be able to take the case I retained her. Talking about having the fight in her, she was so good I can honestly say in out 5 or 6 appearances in court I said less than 20 words total. She took care of everything. She was able to be reached by phone, email, and text at almost anytime. She laid out the possible outcomes with plans and options in each event, was honest with some things that I wanted and explained the reasons for everything and decisions. While being my attorney I always felt she put my children needs first and gave a second point of view if I were over reaching and only seeing my view. When she switched firms I was so upset I thought I had lost her. When I was asked if I would like to stay with the company and have a new attorney at a much cheaper rate or stay with her, before the sentence was complete I quickly stated I would be following her, she was too good to let go. I could go on and on about how wonderful my experience with Mrs. Boutwell was. In my book she is the best of the best. I would HIGHLY recommend her if anyone have any needs for family court.
