I’m a trial attorney representing clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with a focus on high-stakes criminal defense, including federal charges and serious felony matters. My approach is simple: be prepared, be honest, and treat clients with the respect they deserve—no matter what they’re facing.
Clients who work with me can expect clear communication, realistic expectations, and legal strategies grounded in facts—not fear, fluff, or guesswork. I don’t just tell people what they want to hear. I tell them what they need to hear so we can build trust and move forward as a team.
Every case I take is approached with care, discretion, and an aggressive commitment to protecting my clients’ rights. Whether we’re fighting in court or negotiating a resolution, my job is to make sure your voice is heard—and your future defended.

Thank you Jessica
I am in disagreement with the reviews that are saying negative things about Ms. Jessica because she was truly a blessing for me and my family. We could not afford a lawyer and this nice black judge called her in and asked her to represent my son. The case did not go forward on that day because she wa...
"I have witnessed this attorney advocate tirelessly on behalf of clients on countless occasions in court. She is always thoroughly prepared and genuinely cares about her clients."
"Jessica is a great lawyer. Well prepared and a dedicated fighter for justice and each client of hers."
"Jessica is not only a very special attorney she is a special person. In the court room she is always prepared, which is the highest respect any attorney can show their client. She is warm and endearing, but will never be pushed around. I highly recommend her if you are in need of a criminal or family law attorney."
