My experience with Jessica was the most positive experience with an attorney that I have ever had. To give you a little back story regarding my situation (feel free to skip to paragraph 4 if under time constraints,) representing myself, I attempted to navigate the Texas legal system to resolve a divorce internationally to a man that for 9 years I could not locate. Due to additional extraordinary (not in a good way) circumstances which compounded to create what can only be described as "the perfect legal storm," my progress remained at a stand still for the last 4 years. Beginning a little over a year ago, I broke down and began consulting with attorney after attorney to no avail. Each consultation revealed that inordinate retainers would be required in advance, and some even made me feel their sense of defeat before we even began. At the end of 2013, a wrench was thrown into the gears that required me to find help and obtain a resolution as soon as possible. I had no time left to be unproductive. In January, I stumbled upon The Worden Law Firm while perusing Yelp reviews of several local Travis County law firms. I read all of the reviews on their page (regardless of what the Yelp automated recommendation software believes.) After doing so, I knew that I needed to reach out to this firm, and I did so the very next day. I have absolutely no regrets. Jessica replied electronically to my inquiry within 1 business day. She showed no fear of my situation, and in fact was rather excited to take it on. Her retainer was a fraction of what others had demanded, and her fees very reasonable. She was incredibly easy to work with, positive, very personable, non-judgmental, ethical, and worked swiftly and diligently to file documents and make any needed changes. She was able to navigate the law and initiated the service of divorce papers to my husband internationally (in my case, a process that could have taken up to 8 months.) I tell you with tears of joy in my eyes, by the end of June I was a single woman! After everything I went through, all of the brick walls and dead ends, Jessica has helped me do what I was beginning to believe was impossible. I will certainly use her for any future legal needs, and I highly recommend her to all of my friends, family, and to you reading this today. read more

Do not have Jessica Warden work for you. She promised to get me in front of a judge 1 year ago,which is why I retained her in the first place and she did not carry out her promise. She is full of excuses and for the year I had her on retainer all she was talking about was money all the time. We had a payment plan and when I was $300 away from paying her off of the $5000, she threatened to walk away from my case. Are you kidding me ? We discussed later on ,that She would prep me for the custody hearing so that I would not have to pay anything else and she billed me an extra $3000 for doing absolutely nothing right after she told me my remaining bill was $500. Take that for what you will. She did not follow through with what She agreed to do. I live in Los Angeles and obviously she is in Austin and I trusted her. Even a simple question that I would email to her would be responded with " well that's a loaded question. " my case has been complicated, but all I needed to do in Travis County was to get in front of a judge, and even now she refuses to file simple documents,which includes registering my case and enforcing the court orders from California. Travis County has been a complete shit show. And what promised to be something simple ,ultimately became impossible for this woman to do .One year later she has my $5000 and I am no further along than what I was at the time that I retained her. she gave me false hope and manipulated me with promises She did not keep. She will come back on here and probably try and shoot this review down and try to justify her actions, but ultimately when you say you're gonna do something and you get paid for it, then do it .Do not hire this attorney. I emailed many court documents to her for this hearing, and she has not even mentioned where they are and why they cannot be filed to my case. All her explanations do not make sense. I am literally no further along than one year ago and if you have to charge someone $5000 to be at this point in a case then why are you even practicing law . she even tried taking credit for a hearing that the mother was attempting to terminate my parental rights, when we literally walked in the court, and the first thing that came out of the judge's mouth was, she was not going to approve the mothers application. I was on Zoom and I recorded everything on audio just for something to refer back to. Jessica claims she won the hearing while she was sitting at home on her laptop and hardly even spoke in the hearing, I know a lot of family law attorneys are narcissists, but this is ridiculous. had she said in the beginning that she could not get me in front of a judge for a $5000 retainer then I would not have hired her in the first place. I'm furthermore there is absolutely no evidence that she has even put a case together for me because now she is ignoring the fact that I need to be in front of a judge . Where are all these emails that I sent with the Los Angeles Court documents??? and why are they not prepared into a file that can be put into my new case in Travis County??? This is something that a Paralegal could quite easily do , but I paid Jessica to do it. It should be no big deal for an attorney to file a hearing in court. This is what I am pissed off about. She has now signed off on the case conveniently before She was trying to sign off, which has taken three months to do waiting for the judges signature .I will probably be filing a complaint to the Texas State bar if she does not complete what she said she was going to do. she is a very below average attorney that thinks that she is a lot better than she actually is my friend who is a paralegal in a high profile. Los Angeles law firm looked over the billing and laughed at it. It was sloppy just like her work. All I'm saying is where is the case that you prepared for the $5000 I paid you. You are ghosting me right now and not addressing this I feel as if I have been scammed. read more

I really appreciated Jessica's consultation advise in the months leading to retaining her as my legal counsel and the following months in mediation and avoiding court. I saved thousands staying out of court. Thank you Jessica, I feel protected now and have my rights as a parent in writing and legal standing with the state of Texas. I highly recommend her, she was easy to work with and got straight to the point on all subject matters, any questions I asked, she would answer in a quick and professional manner that was easy to understand.

My husband spent hours trying to find a lawyer and left multiple voicemails for multiple lawyers and the only one that has stuck with me is JESSICA!!! She is absolutely amazing!!!

Needed a divorce lawyer doing COVID-19 and Jessica was there to guide me through the process. I was going though a lot at the time so I needed someone to quickly take action and work through the divorce proceedings with me. We got everything done online in a timely manner. Plus when the divorce was finalized, she sent additional information and agencies that I need to contact to change my last name. Jessica Worden will be my first choice for other legal issues in the future. read more

My divorce was the crappiest thing I've ever went through--custody battles, a cheating ex, threats of losing my house--and I'm so glad to have worked with Jessica on not only surviving it, but, in the end, feeling like I came out on top. She was always a straight-talker and got things done efficiently--she even steadied the ship when my ex changed lawyers mid-stream, sending us back to the beginning of the process. I recommend Jessica without hesitation--she's compassionate when you need that, and a stone-cold killer when you need that. Awesome. read more

Jessica helped me in my divorce case where two children were involved, and a less that cooperative spouse and attorney. She responded to me quickly, did not judge, and offered invaluable information and explanations. We had two phone calls, and handled most things via email. The first day we met was the day we went to court. I finalized in 6 months (4 months total representation) with child support, possession and custody, as well as health insurance figured out and completed fairly. I would use her again and again if I ever needed to. She is on your side and will make sure you get what you need! read more

I'm so thankful I found Jessica, she work very hard on my case and got great results. She had a very difficult attorney to deal with that never answer emails and also did a no-show. After a very long process doing with his attorney we finally went to court and won. read more

I have worked with several different lawyers on my family law case. Jessica was by far the best I have worked with. She was efficient, effective and knowledgable. Knowledge can help keep the costs down! Not only was she awesome as a negotiator, she was able to communicate with me in a way that I understood the process and had real world experience in letting me know what to expect. She was able to settle my case, but Jessica was ready to go to trial if needed. You will be glad that you chose Jessica as your attorney! read more

Jessica executed estate planning documents for me. She is an engaging, knowledgeable, helpful, and caring professional who makes every effort to understand and carry out the wants and needs of her clients. Should the need arise, I would certainly hire her again for any legal proceeding. read more

I hired Jessica after three awful attorneys I had for my divorce case. She was able to complete the job even though my ex would not cooperate. She put a stop to the stalling. A lot of attorneys will stall to cost you more money and they will lie to you to cost you more money, but thankfully Jessica is not a dishonest attorney. She will get what you are requesting and nothing more or less saving you money and headaches. She will give you honest advice and represent you in court thoroughly even when you can't attend! I am very grateful to have had her on my case. She was able to get the judge to order my ex to pay half of the fees she charged me along with some other money he owed me. I would still be going through that never ending divorce if I had not hired her. Thank you again Jessica you truly are an awesome attorney! read more

A divorce is never easy especially when children are involved. I wanted an attorney who was professional, honest and always had me and my children's best interest in mind. Jessica Worden is that attorney. Jessica's compassion and constant words of encouragement eased the worries and stress I had during my divorce. Jessica and her paralegal, Scott Love, promptly returned all of my phone calls, text messages and emails. My overall experience with Jessica was very positive. I'm so grateful for Jessica and Scott guiding me through every step of the divorce process with such compassion and care. I trust and highly recommend The Worden Law Firm. read more

I could not be happier to have had Jessica represent me in my child custody case. She gave me confidence in my case and helped ease the whole process. From what I understand child custody issues tend to drag out for extended periods of time and I am already sensing that that is true. I can't put a dollar value on having someone honest, tough, and positive as she is at your side at a time like this. My case is in Williamson county and she was familiar with the protocol and people there. She will definitely be my go to with any further legal issues. read more

I would highly recommend Jessica Worden for a family law issue. Her prices were the most reasonable compared to the other attorneys I consulted with. She was very up-front about what was going to happen and made sure there weren't any surprises. Her court schedule and my work schedule typically interfered with each other so it was definitely nice to be able to communicate with her via email. The only time I ever saw her were the 2 times we went to court, with the second time ending in the judge siding with me. I felt like things would not go in my favor due to being a man and asking for primary custody of the kids. Jessica told me exactly what she needed to help me and I gave her the requested information. I'm very happy with the way things turned out and very confident in my decision to choose Jessica Worden as my attorney. read more
