Jessica did an outstanding job representing our son during his divorce proceedings. Throughout the process, she kept us updated and informed on the critical issues (not the minor distractions), always staying focused on the needs of her client. Jessica also did an excellent job of explaining the "next steps" throughout the process and always prepared us for the potential outcome in each phase of the proceedings. She is a very knowledgeable, straight forward, results oriented professional who I would highly recommend. Her candor, honesty and commitment to her client made working with Jessica a very positive experience.

Tough and tender might seem to work against each other, but not where Jessica is concerned. I had a complicated divorce from the marriage relationship side; neither wanted it, but both knew it had to be done. Jessica had the competence to navigate through the tough conversations with both me and my ex's legal team, while keeping her compassion and a cool head. In the end, the outcome was as perfectly resolved as it could be, in large part because of Jessica's intuitive communication as much as her legal skill.

Since the beginning of my case Jessica was always there to help with any information I needed. She was excellent in dealing with the case. When it came to my trial she was absolutely amazing and fought hard for me. My case was a very complex one and she worked hard day in an out to make sure every detail was covered. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to the laws of SC. She is super detailed and never misses a thing. I could not have asked for a better attorney. My case was not an easy one but she did a fantastic job!

I was referred to Jessica Partain by a trusted friend at a time when I needed a strong attorney and one who would understand my case, especially as a mom. My ex husband made a poor choice of drinking and driving with my child and another child, one week-end when I was out of town. That was not ok with me by any means as he put them in danger. From our first meeting, Jessica listened, asked me what did I want to come out of this, and promised to do whatever she could to see it through. He was going to be held responsible for this. Throughout the course of 4 months, she was timely, kept me abreast of all communication, court dates, any changes etc... her paralegal, Jackie Mazade, was incredible, also with excellent communication and professionalism. The day before our court date, my ex settled, I was pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Jessica Partain and The Peck Law Firm for any family law needs. It can be a difficult time and they are compassionately there to help.

My ex-husband and I had a full agreement that we mediated ourselves. One week prior to our divorce hearing he decided he did not like the agreement and didn't want to pay child support. I hired Jessica to finalize my divorce in hopes we would still be able to finalize on our original date. She was exceptional! The day after we met my ex was being served with a letter notifying him that we would not be reducing child support and we would now want revisions made to our current agreement. Jessica was able to negotiate an entirely new agreement in less than a week and still have our divorce and new agreement finalized in court without having to delay our original court date. The biggest aspect that she was able to obtain for me was the insertion of a relocation clause into the agreement which allows me to be able to move out of state with my children. Hiring Jessica was the best decision I made throughout my entire divorce process. Her knowledge, skill, attitude and capabilities are invaluable! I always felt that she was on my side and would fight to make sure the outcome was to my benefit and my children's benefit. I highly recommend her to anyone needing to hire counsel in a family law issue.

I just want to share what a thoroughly outstanding and professional job Jessica did in representing me and getting me through a difficult divorce. Her knowledge of the law as well as the court system was impressive and she not only made sure everything was in order, but thought of all the possible issues that could arrise and prepared for them ahead of time. She walked me through every step of the process and continually demonstrated strength in her role and determination in working with me to get a settlement that I needed. Choosing the firm was based on the best research I could do. Getting Jessica as my attorney was a blessing. I hope I never need her services again but I now consider her my lawyer for life.

I found Ms. Partain to be knowledgeable, professional and very proactive in my dealings with her. She seems to truly care about her clients and the problems they are facing, which is a rare quality in lawyers in these days. I would return to her if I ever needed an attorney again, and I would also recommend her to my family and friends. 5 Star lawyer.

Ms. Partain is knowledgeable, efficient, diligent, understanding, and most of all...informative. She is the "best kept secret" in the Lowcountry. I trust her with all of my legal needs and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Jessica truly helped make this most miserable experience more tolerable with her knowledge and expertise. She held my hand through each step from the filling out my financial declaration to discussing child support and custody. She went the extra step to comfort me on getting through the first date that we were supposed to go in for my divorce to only have it continued by the judge because my ex did not show and tried to get our case dismissed. This entire process truly was an emotional roller coaster for me and my family; however, Jessica truly made it much easier by listening and explaining everything that I should expect in detail. I cannot recommend her enough.

Wow - I was a complete mess with my separation. But my Advocate took control of my case and negotiated with a high level of skill and determination. She truly has a feel for hold long to hold the cards. Never takes and attacking tone and always level headed and can be counted on. I can not recommend this person enough - if you are unfortunate enough to need a Family Court Representative - you would be very lucky to represented by Jessica Partian.
