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.

She is now my Family
Attorney Mann saved my family. She worked hard to make sure that the court heard my position. She would not let up and made sure that my child's father's lies were exposed. Thank you for treating my issues like they were your issues.

JUST IN TIME MOTHER'S DAY
Finally after months of back and forth in the courts, Jessica finally got me what I desperately wanted and needed...my kids!! I could not have done this without her. Please don't let the sweet face fool you because she is a real mouthpiece!!! Happy Mother's Day to me, I received the best gift EVER!!!...
"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."
