The best in the business

Jessica Hathaway is truly an exceptional attorney, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I had never been in legal trouble before, so finding myself in a situation where I needed to defend myself against fraudulent claims was incredibly stressful and unfamiliar territory. From the very beginni...ng, Jessica went above and beyond to explain everything to me clearly, answer every question I had, and reassure me that the truth would ultimately set everything straight. Throughout the few months we dealt with this matter, Jessica was there whenever I needed her. She took my calls, emails, and texts at all hours of the day and always made sure I understood what was happening and felt comfortable with the decisions being made. If there was ever something I wasn't comfortable with, she listened and made adjustments rather than simply pushing forward. Jessica fought tirelessly for me and never made me feel like I was facing this situation alone. Her dedication, communication, compassion, and determination made an incredibly difficult experience much easier to navigate. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about making sure justice was done. I am incredibly grateful to have had Jessica in my corner. If you are looking for an attorney, whether for a civil or criminal matter, I would absolutely recommend Jessica Hathaway. She is someone you want fighting for you when it matters most.

Avvo Rating

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.
