When I heard I was facing charges of conspiracy to distribute more then 500gm, but less then 1 kilo of methamphetamine, I was shocked to hear they were trying to give me 25yrs. Every point counts when your facing federal prosecution and yes I have a criminal background for the state of California. I ...quickly bailed out and lawyered up. I don't know how to put it in a better way other then saying Jessica was well worth every dollar. After flying back and forth for 4 court dates and one of the most strict judges in VA, a decision was made. The prosecutor came back with 4yrs, Jessica presented her case to the judge and the judge decided on 21 months at 85%. I will only do 1 1/2 yrs. She was an AMAZING attorney!!! She was able to get almost 20 points because she was able to get some of my past convictions dropped of for being almost 10yrs old. She definitely put time and effort into her research on her clients. I never thought that I would be able to get this kind of result. I feel bad for my Co-defendent he did not have a lawyer and his first time ever in trouble, he received a 9yr sentence for the exact same crime as me. If your in a whole lot of trouble, do your self the favor and call her.

I hired Jessica on behalf of my sister whom was facing federal drug conspiracy charges with a mandatory minimum sentence of 10yrs. Jessica worked hard and fought for my sister and kept us well informed as to what was next. With Jessica on our side my sister was able to avoid the mandatory minimum sen...tence (10yrs) and will only serve 18 months. We are very pleased with the results as my sisters co defendant was not so lucky. He used a public defender and received 10 years federal time. Bottom line if your looking for someone to save your butt Jessica needs to be your lawyer!

In August 2016 I hired Jessica to be my lawyer for a case of conspiracy and distribute over 500 grams of meth but less then 1.5 kilos from the state of California to the state of Virginia. I was looking at being a catagorie 3 affence at the leavel of 223 months practically 20yrs. She was there for ...me every step of the way.... She walked me through everything and because of her guidance and extreamly well arguments againt the prosecutor I am only doing 18month in a low security facility and was able to be considered for category level 1 and wont be missing out on my newly wed husband and first childs life. She put a lot of effort and research into my case. Because of Jessica i now have the opportunity to have a secound chance at life and to be there for my first child who will soon be born.

After meeting with other lawyers about my DUI case, I knew that Jessica had my best interest at heart the first time I met her. I hired her after our first meeting and she went right to work filing motions after motions in my case. Every time I talked or met with her she was frank and forthright with... my case and gave me all my options and possible outcomes. She never tried to undercoat anything and this allowed me to mentally prepare for whatever possibility might happen. The day before the trial we got offered a plea to a wet reckless due to Jessica's hard work defending the truth and my rights. She was a pleasure to work with and always contacted my back within one business day. A true professional, I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I was very diligent in finding good representation, and I could not have been happier in finding Harris & Carmichael - this is a great firm. Jessica was patient, diligent and persistent in my case, while offering me the peace of mind and sensitivity I needed. She gave me great direction and ans...wered all my questions quickly and thoroughly as I navigated through the process. After all her hard work, I have relief in having my charges reduced and dismissed with a plea deal that I don't think would have been an option without Jessica's representation.
