collaborative divorce PROCESS

“A Fantastic Collaborative Divorce Lawyer. As I began to embark on my first (and hopefully only) divorce, my ex-wife and I had decided that we wanted to use the collaborative approach to divorce. And as a transgender woman, it was extremely import for me to find an attorney who was LGBTQ+ friendly, especially considering I was still navigating the gender transition process. I am so grateful that I found Jessica Heltsley. She was absolutely wonderful! She expertly provided guidance throughout the entire process, which allowed me to make well-informed decisions regarding topics that would have, otherwise, felt very overwhelming to me. And Jessica exhibited a tremendous amount of compassion and empathy towards me and she made me feel comfortable from the first time we spoke. Any concerns over how I might be treated as a transgender woman evaporated immediately.

While no divorce is "easy", I could not have wished for a smoother, more well planned out process than what I experienced with Jessica and her extensive amount of collaborative law experience. In addition to all of that, it is reassuring to know that, as my ex-wife and I navigate post-divorces issue, I know that I can continue to work with Jessica as a post-divorce coach. I HIGHLY recommend Jessica to anyone who is making the decision to go through the collaborative divorce process. You will not be disappointed!”

"I chose the Collaborative option of divorce because I felt it was the best option for the interests of our two small children.  Collaborative allowed my ex spouse and I to reach agreement on all the terms of a mutually agreed upon divorce settlement based on a number of meetings that we participated in with our collaborative lawyers.  I did not want a traditional divorce process where a judge could unilaterally rule in a way that would disadvantage my children.  Jessica is an amazing lawyer.  Her legal expertise combined with her awesome interpersonal skills made it a pleasure to have her represent me."

"Great mediator, incredibly efficient.  Jess is amazing and very efficient so that your time is not wasted.  She was very caring and accommodating.  She made the process much simpler for myself and my spouse."

DIVORCE

"Jessica is an excellent attorney.  I originally filed for divorce with a different attorney and felt very lost in the process.  Within the first 15 minutes after reaching out to Jessica, I knew more about the status of my case than I had known prior to hiring her.  From that point forward I knew I did not need to worry about my representation.

She is very responsive to any questions.  I never waited long for a response.  She kept my best interest at the forefront and encouraged/provided a positive environment throughout the separation process that allowed my ex and I to continue to cooperate and avoid a combative divorce."

"Jessica was extremely professional and compassionate when it came to handling my case.  She was always available for consultation when my anxiety was running high over certain issues.  Jessica kept me updated at all times so I never felt lost between all the steps of my divorce.  She understood that I wanted my case to promptly be over so I could move on with my life, and even got all the documents completed within 24 hours of my hearing.  I felt that I was strongly represented at my hearing.  She handled my case with tenacity and grace when there was a lot of money involved to be settled upon.  I would definitely recommend Jessica Pospiech to anyone I know.  She made this difficult time for me a lot easier."

"Jessica handled my divorce and child support case. She proved to be an invaluable asset: explaining the laws, my options, and helping to understand both the short-term and long-term implication of the settlements. I was very confident in her expertise in family law. In addition, Jessica is always respectful of my time and my needs. Although I hope to not need her services in the future, I would hire her again in a heartbeat."

DIVORCE

Good divorce lawyers are definitely not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for. Initially I thought I could navigate the process on my own, but I was so glad that I had an experienced attorney to ensure that the process was handled correctly.

Jessica was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and was able to provide perfect guidance through this process. While my ex and I were completely amicable throughout the entire divorce, Jessica assisted with all of the framework for us to divide assets, she prepared and filed all of required paperwork (which is so complex if you haven't done this before), prepared us for exactly what to expect, and provided valuable advice at every step of the way. She was honest, professional, and understanding. When our court date was cancelled due to weather she was able to quickly reschedule so our judgement wouldn't be delayed. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in my position. Do not go through this process on your own!

Jessica handled my case with the utmost respect and professionalism. She was always accessible via phone, text and email. She was very thorough, but did not "pad" time against my case. I highly recommend her services.

DIVORCE

“Jessica handled my divorce. She couldn't have been more professional, conscientious, diligent, or timely. In addition she's very easy to work with. Couldn't recommend her more.”

“I recently worked with Jessica during my divorce process. From my initial consultation all the way to our first (and only) day in court, I could not be happier that I chose her to represent me.

Jessica was very easy to talk to and very considerate when it came to discussing tough personal matters. Any question I asked, she had an answer and explained everything in detail very well so that I fully understood. She made the entire process very clear and easy to get through.

I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for me.”

“Jessica went above and beyond my expectations. From beginning the process with clear and well-explained options to sending final paperwork promptly after the hearing, she kept me involved every step of the way. Not only is she prompt in her replies (even answering on her vacation!), but she is respectful, professional, and courteous to all parties. I could go on, but let it suffice to say that hiring Jessica has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

Child Support Modification

“Jessica achieved a much better result in my case than might have been expected because of her incredible effectiveness in representing my position. She was very thorough and creative in her arguments, and is great both with the big-picture view and at keeping track of myriad details. In terms of responsiveness to phone calls and emails, she and her firm are top-notch. Jessica is also compassionate and patient, something I really needed, given all of the difficulties of my case. It also helped that she has a great sense of humor!

I have been divorced for more than a decade, and have two children. The child support arrangement was complicated and unconventional, and there had been a variety of issues over the years by the time I became Jessica's client. I came to realize that some of the agreements I had made in the past were not in the best interests of my children. On top of that, my ex-husband is very difficult to deal with, and seems to thrive on legal conflict. In spite of these hurdles, Jessica cut through to the most important elements of the case, and helped me keep focused on the goals. For the first time in years, I have peace of mind regarding child support.”

Parenting Time & Child Support Modifications

“She was great to work with always had my best interest in mind while explaining everything to me, making sure everything was spelled out in my documents so I'm protected in the future. I had short notice to have things into court she made sure things where submitted on time and we where prepared for court if need be. I would hire her again in a flash if I have a problem.”

Jessica is a great attorney and provided me excellent representation during my divorce.”

Jessica worked closely with me through a very complex process involving multiple states and a correctional facility. She was always supportive and did her best to ensure all steps were done as economically as possible. Through all the chaos, she was professional and went the extra mile to ensure things went smoothly. I admit I was lost when the process began, but I finding Jessica was the best thing that could have happened.
