About Jessica
Biography
When people go to see a family law attorney, they are often going through the toughest changes of their lives. Richmond divorce attorney Jessica C. Boutwell enjoys being able to listen to her clients, really hear what they have to say, and ease as much of the burden as possible.
“Practicing family law allows me to be a listener, a counselor, a sounding board, and an advocate,” Ms. Boutwell said.
Ms. Boutwell is solutions-oriented. She listens to the problems and issues her clients are describing, and then works with them to craft reasonable, workable solutions.
“I want to take that extra time to make sure my clients understand what is going on and what to expect,” she said. “Open communication allows us to work together more effectively and lets me be a better advocate for my clients’ interests.”

She is a gifted communicator, a fearless advocate, and a tenacious litigator whose expertise at dealing with cases involving young children has garnered her a great deal of respect from her clients as well as her peers."
