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 Through her hard work we were granted motion to reconsider and my husband's guilty plea was withdrawn. Not only was the plea withdrawn the court allowed my husband to change his plea to not guilty and keep the disposition of the original plea in which charges will eventually be dismissed.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.

Extremely pleased.

When I got into a legal bind for the first time I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to turn to. So I decided to try Miss Jessica Carmichael who was within walking distance. As soon as I talked to Jessica I knew I made the right choice because she knew right away the name of the judge who told me... I needed a lawyer. This just put my mind at ease as i could tell she was familiar with the inner workings of this particular federal court. Once I hired Miss Jessica she was always upfront and told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. She never "sugar coated" any possible outcome or results in my case,even if it was a little uncomfortable for me to hear. When my trial day came Miss Jessica was able to summarize to the judge all the information that i gave to her in record time. I was truly amazed. She even added things that I told her the day of the trial and I thought she didnt even hear them! So throughout my pending case she listened to everything I said and retained it all! That takes extreme dedication. Because of Miss Jessica's thorough approach I ended up receiving a decision from the judge that was I extremely pleased with. I highly recommend Miss Jessica Carmichael as your defense lawyer!

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!
