About Jessica
Biography
Jessica Sokoloff is a passionate criminal defense attorney who has represented hundreds of clients on a range of cases in city, state, and federal courts, in Kansas, Missouri, and California.
Jessica has built her reputation as a committed advocate and skilled trial attorney representing clients facing charges including:
- Murder
- Drug possession and distribution
- Sex crimes
- DUI
Jessica's passion for her work comes from her belief that everyone who is charged with a crime deserves an attorney who will fight to ensure their rights are protected.
After graduating from Santa Clara University Law School, Jessica was offered a position at one of Los Angeles’ most prominent criminal defense firms. At that firm, one of the region’s premiere drug defense specialty firms, Jessica honed her skills, representing clients in cases throughout the entire state of California.
Later, Jessica was recruited to join the Los Angeles Alternate Public Defender’s Office, where she was able to dedicate her energy to defending clients in need of special appointed counsel for several years before moving to Kansas with her family.
Since moving to Kansas, Jessica has remained committed to fighting for her client's Constitutional rights while working at both private firms and as a Johnson County Public Defender. She continues to provide the highest level of advocacy to those facing a broad range of criminal charges, from DUI to homicide, in state and federal courts in Kansas and Missouri.

Jessica Jenae Sokoloff's Lawyer Endorsements
"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.

"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."
