Jess is great for non-profit law

We sought out Jess earlier this year after moving our non-profit headquarters from VA to TX. She has taken the time to understand the nuances of our national association, our overall strategy, goals and positions. She has helped us resolve a number of personnel and potentially critical member issue...s, while helping us balance risk and still stay true to our values. Jess has always taken the initiative to explain all our options, and the risks involved in each. Jess has been helpful as we have changed our bylaws and many of our basic policies.

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.
