Relationship: Worked together on matter
Jessica is both brilliant and compassionate. I have had the pleasure of working with Jessica on a number of cases. Additionally, I've worked in the same area as her for years now. She handles every case as if it's her only case. The bedside manner is something of which I am truly envious. You're in great hands if Jessica is your legal counsel.

Jessica is an excellent attorney. She has a broad skill set but her knowledge is second to none as it relates to family law matters and criminal defense. Not only is Jessica empathetic and readily available to her clients but she is an aggressive litigator who will work hard to make sure her clients' interests are best represented. I have had the pleasure of having Jessica as opposing counsel. She was wonderful to work with but made she to advance her client's position all while being a constant professional. I recommend her without reservation. In fact, I do not practice family law and often refer any family inquiries I receive to her as I know the client will be well taken care of.
