Jessica Charles was wonderful!!!! She was very responsive, answered all my questions/concerns. Explained everything in detail, was on time for court (unlike some attorney's) my experience was wonderful!! I would highly recommend Jessica, she is a true example of a great attorney!!!
If you are in need of a father's rights attorney, then look no further. She works hard into the night, at hours when most of us are asleep, to get results. Great follow-up. Highly recommended.
Attorney Jessica Charles is a force to be reckoned with in the Family law community. I was overseas in Africa and got stuck there for over a year due to the Covid19 pandemic and international flight restrictions to the US. I was scheduled to appear by Zoom to defend my case however my instinct told me to look for an attorney somewhere in Upper Marlboro, MD, the courthouse being located there. I found Ms. Jessica during my Google searches and behold she took my case with expediency despite the fact that I was 5,600 miles away in Africa. The outcome was excellent in my favor due to her professional representation and concise understanding of my case and my need for strong legal representation in my absence. I strongly recommend her to my African friends who may have a need in the future for strong legal defense or representation in Family law. God bless you Jessica and I can breathe a sigh of relief now.
Jessica was a blessing to me and my two daughters at a daunting time. It was difficult to pick someone to represent me from the internet, but Jessica was well worth every penny. She was kind, mindful, and might I say, a tiger in the courtroom. I never would have believed I was owed so much. She knew the law and practice it with magnificent expertise. I can still remember her deliberating and presenting my case before the judge, what an exquisite legal mind (she has), all whilst opposing council stumbled and literally begged for leniency. You will be greatly satisfied with your decision to retain Jessica Charles as your legal council. Dr. C. S
I found Jessica Charles on Avvo and decided to hire her based on her previous reviews and I was not disappointed. This was my first time hiring a lawyer so I did not know what to expect but Jessica made me feel really comfortable. Most lawyers can be stuck up or stand-offish but with her, it felt like talking to a friend. She was personable and reassuring and made sure that I understood everything throughout the entire process step by step, like a "Custody for Dummies" guide. I would recommend Jessica to anyone.
I saw Jessica when I was in fear for my life and she ensured me that my safety was number one and that she would help me every step of the way. I was not an easy client but she was always patient and got back to me the best she could. I was able to settle my divorce and not have it go to trial. After the final court hearing, Jessica stayed with me until the end and showed nothing but compassion.
Yesterday, I called Attorney Charles and she was able to see me the next day. We were able to start on time and immediately she dunged into the case sorting out the facts. Quickly, she was able to give a reasonably estimate for my case. What blew me away was that she called the Defendants attorney right then and there to see if we could get the matter resolved today. I have to say Attorney Charles has a go getter attitude that compares to none! Divorce is tough but picking up the phone right away showed me her dedication and urgency to her client’s cases being resolved even before I retaining her! I'm proud to say that she made this decision easy and I'm happy to have her represent me during this journey.
After what seemed like an eternity I am grateful that I found an attorney so attentive and considerate. She is thoughtful, smart and genuine. I would refer her to anyone in need. Thank you for making my life better.
The Best Lawyer!! Jessica Charles is a very professional lawyer, I would definitely recommend her again to anyone who has to go through the divorce process or who has a child support custody matter. I have used Jessica for both and was extremely satisfied with representation and counsel. She has a unique perspective and approach as a divorce attorney. Jessica understands the true emotional, financial, and experiential cost of divorce, and her primary interest is to find the best path to resolution and closure so you can move on and rebuild your life constructively. Jessica has a blend of high integrity, and a desire to help people, and a need to do the best job possible to make her clients satisfied. That said, she’ll advocate firmly and effectively to protect your interest and well-being. She is an outstanding problem solver who comes up with creative and constructive results to complex problems. She will do anything in her powers to get you a peaceful, cooperative and speedy resolution she will always stand up for your position and rights as necessary. ….There are a lot of sharks in the waters- however Jessica is NOT one of them she’s a life saver boat…
I contacted Jessica Charles to assist with my divorce which was a bit difficult. Jessica was able to get results with just a couple of meetings, she made me feel a lot better while she worked. I am most grateful for her service and would hire her again. I recommend Jessica if you are ever in need of a good family lawyer.
