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.

Best Lawyer In Pa!!!!
I can’t say enough about my attorney Ms. Jessica Mann!! I was facing an aggravated assault case involving a firearm, with video evidence, and up to 20 years on the line.

Having the right lawyer on your side
I had the privilege of working with Jessica Mann, Esquire during a very difficult legal situation that lasted nearly a year.

YOU WANT THE BEST DEFENSE, HIRE THE BEST DEFENSE ATTORNEY
I hired Jessica for a relative of mine who was facing serious allegations. Jessica immediately sat down and heard his side of the story and started strategically investigating the allegations and getting down to the true facts. She shows that she cares about the client and that she doesn’t want false...

Can’t win for losing.
Been trying to get in contact with Ms.Man is very unlikely. The receptionist says she’s always out and unable to talk. Recently a relative was convicted and wanted to come to his sentencing date. The first time he was suppose to be sentenced, the date was moved. The 2nd date of sentencing was at 9am....
I’m sorry to hear that this experience has caused frustration. I understand how emotional and stressful court proceedings can be for families, especially when communication feels unclear or when plans unexpectedly change. That said, I need to correct several inaccuracies in this review. The first sentencing date was postponed at the request of the client’s authorized family contact to accommodate a personal matter. The second date was rescheduled by the Court due to the Judge having a personal matter to attend. That change—made at the last minute—moved the hearing to a later time, and although I was fully prepared at 9 AM, by 2:00 PM, I was no longer able to accommodate that time. I’ve maintained consistent communication with the client and with the specific individual he authorized me to speak with. As an attorney, I’m bound by rules of confidentiality and cannot discuss case details with anyone else unless explicitly permitted. That’s not a lack of communication—it’s a legal and ethical obligation. Significant work has gone into this case, including trial representation and the preparation of a detailed mitigation package submitted to the Court. Family members who were actively involved and present during proceedings can attest to the time and effort put forth on the client’s behalf. If the person who left this review has concerns, I encourage them to connect directly with the client or the new attorney you have hired to handle the appeal in this case. My priority has always been competent and ethical representation—and that remains true whether or not I continue with a case.
"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."
