WARNING: Do NOT hire this attorney!

We hired Jessica for my civil case based upon these ratings...they are skewed. Jessica did not show dedication to our case or compassion to me as a client. Her responsiveness and communication to me regarding my case was negligible. She also did not hold up to her end of specific items in HER own ...contract. Jessica did not listen to my concerns or thoughts on strategic decisions regarding my case, which resulted in a lot of wasted time and money. There are too many other good, hardworking, compassionate attorneys to choose from. Please do not make the same mistake I did by hiring this attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
