• What Jessica’s clients are saying

  “The day of the accident was terrible. The day of the settlement was wonderful. Getting from the day of the accident to the day of the settlement was accomplished very competently and professionally with Jessica Vliegenthart as my lawyer. Much thanks to you, to Jill and to the rest of the staff at Fulton who worked on my file.”  – J.F.

  “Thank you for persevering with me. You are a light in that place. You were for me. It was wonderful to be able to put my trust in you.” – P.D.

  “I couldn’t be happier having worked with Jessica for my ICBC claim. She genuinely cared about my well-being and made sure I got what was required during my recovery throughout the aftermath of my accidents.  Jessica was patient with me and she covered every aspect of my life to help me realize what I truly lost and how my life had changed beyond my perception. I would urge anyone seeking assistance to talk with her.” – C.G.
