I highly, thoroughly and enthusiastically encourage you to call Jessie if you need a family lawyer.
I went through 12 tiresome years of family court. It was frustrating, discouraging
and expensive. I never felt like anything of much good was ever accomplished other than causing tremendous chronic emotional and financial stress.
Then about 2 years ago, I found Jessie. She changed everything. Court is never fun, and no one ever really wins in family court, certainly least of all the kids. But with Jessie, my son was her first priority. She fought for every good thing for him passionately. She took a personal interest that what we accomplished was always in his best interest. She earned his trust and to this day, she feels more like family than an attorney. She’s a huge reason my son was able to navigate some very rough waters and is now smooth sailing.
She’s tough and incredibly smart. While we were in mediation, she saw strategically how to navigate through issues on the spot even as we had multiple court documents to consider. She came so thoroughly prepared there was not one angle she had not considered. She thinks fast on her feet and can quickly evaluate issues for long term consequences, a real asset in court negotiations or mediation. She’s calm but she’s powerful, persistent and smart.
And when mediation fell apart and we were looking at issuing further discoveries and depositions, she worked a miracle and was able to engage my ex in returning to negotiations and achieving an agreement. I wish I could clearly communicate how unlikely that was. But she did it and in it, she manifested some measure of healing and peace through it.
Court was always a source of stress but with Jessie, for the first time in all those years, I was truly restful through it because I had an attorney that understood us, our needs, our unique situation and was inexhaustible in working for our very best.
You’ll be so glad to have Jessie by your side to navigate your family court issues. She is THE BEST. I am confident you’ll be very happy choosing her to represent you in things that matter so dearly to you.
