Best Criminal Defense Attorney

She runs out all grounds balls, interviews any possible witnesses, argues motions tenaciously, & commands an impressive knowledge of case law and criminal procedure. Anyone charged with a crime in MD would be luck...

I like working with her because I can always count on her doing what she says she will do. Every client that we have worked together on is very happy and satisfied with her work."
"I know Jessica Zarrella to be a tireless advocate who obtains amazing results for her criminal and family law clients alike. She is well known throughout Montgomery County and Maryland and uses every experience as a litigator and certified mediator to get the very best results for her clients. Her past as a prosecutor gives her the advantage of knowing the system and its weaknesses inside and out. But most importantly, because she truly cares about her clients, it shows - in her meticulous attention to detail, relentless trial preparation and her reputation of success. Without hesitation, I highly recommend her!"
