About Jessica
Biography
It is my goal to always give my clients undivided, personalized attention and care to each concern. I aim to deeply understand the circumstances of your company's situation to work towards the most effective, practical resolution.
I'm passionately interested in employment law because it is so much broader than just contracts and production. It's a diverse subject of paperwork and personalities, and the many ways that those can go so very wrong or so very right. For that reason, I am passionate about impacting the employer-employee relationship-- a relationship that I believe to be among the most important relationships a person or entity can maintain.
Prior to becoming a licensed attorney, I completed labor and employment clerkships in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Lexington. While a student at the University of Kentucky College of Law, I was a member of the Trial Advocacy Board and served on the Executive Board of the LGBTQ Interests Group. I have successfully completed Trial Skills Training provided by the Kentucky Access to Justice Commission.

Excellent Attorney
Jessica was very helpful and provided me with good, sound legal advice. Because she was so personable, attentive and respectful of what was best for me, I reached back out to and hired her for another legal matter. I recommend Jessica wholeheartedly!

Upfront, open, and professional
When I came to Jessica for advice about a legal issue I was experiencing through an employer, she was upfront about what to expect and open with the specifics of what she could legally recommend.
