I'm astonished to see any bad reviews here; Jessi is the single most impressive professional I've met in my life. She blends compassion and hard work with a brilliant mind. I'd recommend her to anyone and consider her price to be a tremendous value.

Jessica Koester Is the best lawyer in my option. I have used here since 2009 for all of my criminal cases. I have had 3 felony state cases and 3 felony federal cases she has kept me out of jail on all cases not to mention that she just got the judge to lower my state charges to misdemeanors while still on probation in federal court. She always returns calls when you call she gives her clients her cell number so that in case of an emergency you can get in contact with her. I have sent many of my

Hired Attorney Jessica J. Koester

$30,000 for the same thing I could’ve got for $6,000 anywhere else. Then after the fact I got my license suspended and had no idea that that was even a possibility. Had to take a plea bargain after being told numerous times that we have a winning case even though I didn’t want to. She said I’d have to sign a paper saying that she advised against a motion to suppress if I wanted to continue through with it. That makes you lose any confidence in your lawyer after that. Gave me 3 case laws that had next to nothing to do with my case. Worst waste of money I have ever spent. Now I have to pay for another attorney. Always seems unprepared at court. Don’t waste your money. Whatever you do don’t sign any contract because she rushes you to pay and then does nothing for you. Barely even showed up to court. Always has a more important case than yours that she claims to be working on. Worse than going to court with a public defender. Lost my license and never was told that it was a possibility.

Jessica was non responsive about getting back to me. She took advantage of me and countless others and overcharged. When she explaied to me what was gonna happen she purposely miss communicated several things and forgot to file paperwork that would have saved me alot of money with the state of Illinois. My new attorney that is right down the street from Jessica, Polinske law office are great people and explained what she did and how egregious her actions really were. Sad to say but she is lazy and will take advantage of people.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
