Had her for most my child support case she is fair but honest

I paid him 160.00 for a consultation to handle a divorce. After I explained to him what I wanted to do he accepted and I paid him another 10,000. Jace purposely through my case to protect another attorney. After the hearing I fired him. Jace will initiate a bunch of frivolous phone calls and emails just to bill you. After he was fired he continued to bill me. I’m disabled and have no income and yet he felt the need to extort me. This man is horrible. He figured if I could find a way to pay his initial fees I could find a way to continue to pay him after the fact. Stay away from the horrible man.

Jace is a very understanding lawyer, listens to you and helps you with making the best decision for you. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney than Jace padden and his firm!!!!

I hired Jace Padden in the spring of '21, to represent me in my custody battle with my ex-husband. Before making this decision, I had a consultation with Jace that should have only lasted an hour but he took the extra time to listen to my situation, discuss the possibilities, and how much I could expect to spend. Once Mr Padden was retained, he immediately went to work on my case. In the entirety of the eight months that I worked with him, he consistently kept up communication and always responded to my emails or phone calls in a timely fashion. I never needed to worry, or question where money was being spent, as I was regularly provided with detailed invoices. At the end of 8 months, in Jan '22, I was awarded exactly what I filed for. Jace Padden is professional,knowledgeable,honest and made an otherwise horrible situation, bearable. I would highly recommend Mr Padden to anyone in need of representation in their divorce or custody.

Listen ! I don’t even know where to start ! I literally detained Jace a week before my case ! A WEEK! And they literally said no problem lol I walked in and I explained in detail what was going on and how this had been stressing me out . Jace jumped right on it ! I won my court case and I am very very satisfied on the ruling . The biggest thing for me is that I genuinely felt like he cared about what I had going on . This case had been going on for two years , with the other party dipping and dodging court and Jace really walked in there and was like “enough is enough” I really felt at ease once I hired him and he did phenomenal in court representing me . He made the needs of my son Very prevalent and didn’t back down . He was also caring , attentive, and affordable . I hope I never have to go back but if I do, I will NOT HESITATE to call him back . I thanked him a million times in court but if he’s reading this now, just know my son and I really appreciate you man .

hands down an amazing Judge ✨

Outstanding Attorney

Being referred to Jace by a Chesterfield County Judge, I came to Jace as my world was shattering around me. I was scared, sad, and lost. Being the mother of two very small children, I was exhausted trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for their sake, while simultaneously preparing for the fight of my life. When I first met Jace, I was greeted with a calm, cool, intelligent divorce lawyer - the polar opposite of what you would expect in this situation. With my basket of emotions most people going through a divorce carry around with them, he was able to sort through them, calming all of my greatest fears. He also worked with a sense of purpose and reality, helping to prioritize my life and figure out what was really worth fighting for. He answered every call. He replied to every email. He meet with me any time I asked. A year later, I was victorious. I was able to rebuild my life with everything I set out to have. My children and myself were happy and together, all fought for with dignity and grace - a precedent set forth by Jace Padden.

I've come to Jace with a variety of situations in the past 6 years and he has never once given me a reason to doubt his expertise in the legal field. I won't consider going to court with anyone else, and have never walked into a courtroom with a lack of confidence in my legal representation. I have never been disappointed or upset by a result with Jace as my representative, he has always pulled through for me on the best case scenario. In my opinion he is legitimately the best option I have for all legal matters, he knows what he's doing and he doesn't mess around in this business. Would and have recommended him to friends and family, can not commend him enough for what he deserves in this field.

Nothing causes your emotions to flare and blaze more than when your children are involved. Add a contentious separation to that mix, and you have a potential emotional powder keg. Jace is one of the most adept I've ever met at both negotiating and helping you to negotiate these times. He is technically gifted, with a masterful understanding of the legal system. He is meticulous, ensuring that proceedings are not hampered by oversight or misstep. He is well connected, well respected, and extremely professional in his approach. But these things are not his strongest suit. Above all, Jace is a compassionate and understanding human being - and this is what makes me so very thankful I had his experience and wisdom as I set forth into the unknown. Never once did I feel as if my frustration and angst with the process was fed by his own; even knowing that he too was feeling these things. I was never made to feel like a client or a case. I was a father trying to do the right thing for his children and for the person I had shared a large part of my life with. This is what he continually brought me back to when I was in the midst of a confusing or blinding development. In many cases, I was told the exact opposite of what I *wanted* to hear, instead being guided by what I *needed* to hear. To this day, he counseled me with one of the most sage statements I've had spoken to me; so simple on the surface, but rich in the meaning: "If you wake up every morning to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and can say you're honestly doing what you feel is right - then we're doing ok." If you're searching for someone who "gets" what Family Law is really about, Jace is the person you need at your side. Will R.

Jace has assisted me with several reviews of contracts as well as contract negotiations. He has helped navigate me down the right path numerous times. Jace is extremely knowledgeable and doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, but will give you the facts as well as guidance. I highly recommend Jace, and have done so on many occasions!!!

A friend referred me to Jace after finding my relationship in a compromising situation. He listened to my concerns and gave me wonderful legal advise. Jace calmed my nerves and made me feel extremely comfortable during my appointment. I walked away knowing I could make an informed decision. I would highly recommend Mr. Padden.
