Jessica C. Beatty

Last year I faced one of the most difficult life events I’d experienced with the abrupt ending of a long-term marriage. In researching local collaborative divorce attorneys, I fortunately came across Jessica Beatty’s contact information and credentials. From our first meeting, I felt confident Jessic...a was the right attorney for me. Throughout the entire process, not only did she demonstrate her expertise, but she did so with compassion, respect, transparency, responsiveness, and fairness. She had a calming presence during highly emotional times and balanced appropriate levels of understanding and professionalism. Jessica kept my best interests in mind while maintaining the negotiation skills necessary for a successful collaboration. She was also cognizant of all involved parties’ time and resources. Though I don’t wish the many challenges of a divorce on others, the reality is these things do happen. I highly recommend Jessica Beatty for those seeking a very effective and empathetic collaborative divorce attorney.

Family court is about the last place anyone wants to be. Unfortunately, I have had to fight for third party visitation, and Jess represented me in both the original case and appeal. Jess guided me every step of the way and helped me understand the process and the importance and potential impact of... every decision I made as we worked our way through court. Thanks to Jess’ skill and knowledge, I was awarded visitation against very poor odds. An appeal was filed immediately after the case was heard. Again, I relied on Jess to advise me and navigate the legal hurdles we faced. Days before the hearing, we were dealing with a rapidly changing situation. By the time of the hearing, Jess had fully informed me of all the possible outcomes and what our strategy would be moving forward from the ruling. I walked into court knowing I could fully trust Jess to represent me in the very best possible way that day and for whatever comes next. The ruling was favorable for us. Who knows what will happen tomorrow but one thing I know for sure is if I am ever back in family court I will do anything I can to be sure Jess is there to represent me.

Jessica's professional demeanor and knowledge combined with being compassionate, calm, and very friendly made me feel supported throughout the entire duration of the cases she helped me with. She is a great listener, she always effectively communicated with another party's lawyer while both cases wer...e in court. She was helpful with legal advice any time I reached out to her and she communicated in a manner I could understand, and was always available to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Jessica!!! One very happy client, -T.
