Hired Attorney

Throughout my entire legal proceedings Jesse took charge and made sure that my mind was at ease, and that we got the best outcome. Case dismissal. This is definitely the man I’d recommend to anyone!!!

Jail sentence was upon me last minute lawyer rode in on a white horse

Had pending jail sentence for contempt of court. Court appointed last minute Mr. Scott who was not familiar with past 2 years legal battle for my 3rd time in contempt of court. This smooth talking handsome tall drink of.water waltzed into the Court and like a.pitt bull tore into plaintiff without let...ting loose of his neck. Mr. Jesse smoothly yet furiously won my case. I didn't go to jail, and I'm living here in portsmouth happily ever after. Support this new attorney, as I intend to do. Portsmouth people salt of God's great earth and Mr Scott will support us as the people. Thank you Mr Jesse.

Above and Beyond

We have never had to navigate the legal system. It was terrifying to have my husband face a situation which could have resulted up to 6 months in jail. Jesse acted quick, thorough, and with confidence. He answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease. He contacted me over the weekend just to m...ake sure I was doing okay while we waited for a hearing. He was compassionate and trustworthy. In 2 hours of the court being open, my husband was out and cleared of all charges. He made sure the right thing was done and I am so thankful he was the only attorney to answer my call at 4pm on a Friday!

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
