Jessica Hall Janicek

I hired this law firm a little while back to handle a custody situation involving my 2 1/2 year old son. I showed proof of having my son approximately 70% of the time up till this point. Jessica Janicek was given my case. She said we had a very strong case and there was no doubt that things would tur...n out positive for us. She had a court date set and we were ready to move forward and then she asked me to provide her with copies of all my income tax information from the previous years. All of a sudden, she said we shouldn't go to court but do a mediation instead. (I only found out later this there way to find out how much money attorney's can take from you throughout your case.) She said the other party had already recommended a mediator (Patrick Rogers, who behaved like an overpaid used car salesmen) that she thought would be great. Well, after a long and ridiculous mediation was finished, I asked her "is it just me, or has this mediator been treating me extremely rude abs talking down to me this entire time?" She then replied "it's because I currently have a case against him." Why in the world would you agree to a mediator that they recommended when you have a case against him? Conflict of interest? Yes! Of course it is. She then proceeded to tell that even though I was the better parent, that the other party will get what they want because that's the way the laws are written in Texas. It's not fair towards Fathers, but I just need to accept it and it's pointless to go to court. What a way to waste thousands of dollars. Thanks Koons Fuller and Jessica Janicek!!
