From the Other Side of the Table

Working with Jess as my mediator during my divorce was one of the best decisions I made throughout the process. Divorce involving children can become emotional and expensive very quickly, but Jess had a way of keeping the conversations focused, productive, and centered on what was best for my children.

She was direct when she needed to be, incredibly thorough, and always remained neutral. She helped me understand which issues were truly worth addressing and which ones did not need to become another costly dispute. Having her involved saved me a significant amount of money in legal fees and, more importantly, helped keep many difficult conversations from escalating unnecessarily.

What I appreciated most was that Jess understood there was a family behind the paperwork. Her goal was never to create more conflict; it was to help us find a practical path forward so we could continue being parents after the divorce was over.

I would recommend Jess and Harrison & Vale to any parent looking for a mediator who is knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely focused on resolution.

Yes, yes, yes, yes absolutely, yes. Jessica saved us so much money during our divorce. We both had to compromise on things we didn’t necessarily want to, but she kept us moving toward an agreement. The flat fee alone was worth it because we weren’t watching the clock every time we needed to work something out. Once we got across the finish line, she gave me a coupon for a blowout and referred my ex to a barber for a fresh haircut. She sees the people behind the divorce, and she follows up afterward to see how things are going post-judgment. If you have the opportunity to mediate your divorce instead of fighting everything out, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not at least talking to Jessica.

I first worked with Jessica on a major business merger involving my brand, intellectual property, and the creation of a new partnership. Throughout the process, she understood how important it was for me to protect what I had already built. She made sure my brand and intellectual property provisions were not lost in the bigger transaction while still keeping the deal moving forward. She also saved me a ton of money throughout the process.

Afterward, I reached out to Jessica again regarding another business to review contracts we already had in place. I have also called her about a completely separate business issue when I specifically wanted a neutral perspective. I have an attorney, but sometimes I am not looking for an adversarial approach. I want someone who has a legal background and can look at the situation objectively and tell me what actually needs attention.

We also had an issue that needed to be escalated quickly. Jessica took the initiative, contacted the appropriate individual directly, and got the issue resolved. I did not have to spend my time figuring out who to contact or how to move it forward. She handled it.

What I appreciate most is the access. If I call Jessica, she either picks up or makes time to speak with me. She is direct, no BS, but always professional.

I would absolutely work with Jessica and Harrison & Vale again.

I’m a hair stylist and co-founder of Embellish, and I came into the business knowing very little about business transactions. I found Jessica, and honestly, I attribute so much of where my salon is today to her guidance. She made a complicated deal feel simple, protected my interests, and helped me preserve my relationship with my partner instead of turning everything into a fight. She’s not only professional but truly has your back. I’m incredibly grateful I found her and would recommend Jessica and Harrison & Vale to anyone.

Jessica helped us navigate and negotiate the terms of a business partnership, and I was genuinely impressed by how she handled the entire process. She remained neutral while still being a bulldog when it came to keeping the conversation focused, asking the right questions, and making sure important issues weren’t glossed over.

She controlled the room without ever making us feel like she was taking over the decision-making. My partner and I had a voice, difficult terms were addressed directly, and she kept bringing the conversation back to the bigger picture when we needed it.

What stood out most was her ability to identify things we hadn't thought to discuss and turn a complicated negotiation into clear terms everyone understood. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and Harrison & Vale to business owners or partners who need someone strong, neutral, and extremely thorough at the table.
