Jessica is the Best !!!

I hired Jessica to defend me in my criminal case. She did an amazing job. Right from the start she was very on top of things and worked with me to get any and all the information she could. She did research on similar cases to get me the best sentence she could. She was always honest and open wit...h me and told me the best and the possible worst case scenario's. She also went above and beyond, she even attended my doctors visits when I asked her to, she really cares about her clients. Even after Sentencing (which turned out amazing) She assisted in all I needed. Even to this day a few months later she checks in and makes sure all is well and asks if I need any help with anything. I would and have recommended Jessica to many. She is an awesome attorney, person and friend.

Aggressive and talented criminal defense attorney

Jessica is a very competent criminal defense attorney. She makes sure to treat her clients with respect and includes them when making decisions on how to best fight the case. She will leave no stone unturned in trying to get the best outcome for her clients. I highly recommend Jessica if you need a ...criminal defense attorney.

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.
