Excellent

I had the privilege of working with Jessica Chester on a very difficult family matter involving my daughter being placed in foster care. From the very beginning, she was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, understanding, and deeply respectful.

What stood out most was how she treated me—with dignity and without judgment. She never looked at me like a guilty person, and that meant more than I can express. She truly listened and understood my situation, and I always felt like she was fighting for me and my daughter with everything she had.

Her communication was clear and compassionate, and she helped me feel supported through one of the hardest times in my life. I am incredibly grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone going through a family legal issue.
