Exceptional lawyer!

We were referred to Jessica for assistance with our case through another lawyer. Our case was very complex. My husband had accepted a plea deal that affected his ability to file for immigration relief. From the moment we contacted the office the staff made us feel comfortable with our decision to s...eek an 2nd opinion. Jessica filed a motion to reconsider to withdrawal my husband's guilty plea due to insufficient advised from our previous lawyer, on the immigration consequences accepting a plea deal. Jessica kept us informed throughout the process and fought endlessly in court for us. Through her hard work we were granted motion to reconsider and my husband's guilty plea was withdrawn. Not only was the plea withdrawn the court allowed my husband to change his plea to not guilty and keep the disposition of the original plea in which charges will eventually be dismissed. We own this all attorney Jessica and her staff. Thank you ladies for all your help!

Outstanding Attorney

I retained Jessica after my first attorney completely botched my trial for a DUI, he didn't present evidence which could have changed the outcome. He also didn't challenge the officer refusing to give me the chemical test. Never the less I decided to appeal my case and I knew going in that it wou...ld be unlikely that Jessica could undo the mess my first attorney created at trial. Regardless, Jessica went above and beyond to try and fix things and kept me informed every step of the way. Unfortunately the Judge who convicted me was not interested in seeing the evidence my first attorney should have presented at trial, and denied my motion for a new trial. Lesson learned, be careful who you chose to represent you. I am 100% certain if Jessica would have represented me in this matter initially I would have been found innocent on all counts. Therefore I highly recommend Jessica and would use her again if I found myself needing an attorney in the future.

Treated me like family - Able to get my felony charge dismissed!

I hired Jessica to represent me and she expertly navigated my case to have my felony charge dismissed. She genuinely cared about my well being, and took the time to make sure I understood all of the legal nuances in my case. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Worked closely with Phoenix Harris, a...nd between them they were able to quickly respond to my questions and concerns throughout the process. Best in the business!

"These Two Lawyers Were the Best Choice I Made"

I first worked with Phoenix Harris on getting my case dismissed. After a lot of searching and explaining my case to several lawyers, I felt no one cared quite like Mrs. Harris. She was extremely knowledgeable, warm, and truly compassionate. She not only answered every question I asked in person, on t...he phone, via e-mail (and believe me- as a foreigner to legal matters I had asked a LOT of questions), but she was patient and thorough in her explanations. She fought hard for me and was able to dismiss my case. I am so beyond thankful I chose Mrs. Harris to represent me. Afterwards, I had the pleasure of working towards my expungement with Mrs. Carmichael. Jessica also answered all questions I had and really alleviated my fears about the whole process. She was extremely diligent yet speedy in her paperwork, and made the process for expungement a breeze for me. I want to thank her so much for all her help! If you are in need of a criminal defense attorney- I wouldn't look elsewhere!

i sought for legal advice when i got into trouble and charged for petty larceny. I called the Harris and Carmichael law firm. when I met Ms. Jessica she seems to know what she is talking about and explain to me all option, I felt i can trust her my case. When I was down and need some clarificatio...n, she promptly returned my call and answered my question explaining my options, her responds were alway helping me throu this difficult time on the court day she negotiated with the prosecutor to resolve the case favorably and i got dismissible case.
