About Jessica
Biography
Ms. Murray is an aggressive trial attorney that really cares about and understands her clients. She put herself through school working in fast food, video stores, bars, restaurants, retail stores, and law firms. She will jokingly refer to her time in Marine Corp boot camp as her longest vacation ever. As a result of Ms. Murray’s unique route to becoming an attorney, most clients feel that she can better relate to them and understand their concerns in a way that most conventional attorneys cannot.
