Jessica Elise Rico

I hired Jessica Rico in 2019 to represent me in the DMV hearings and court to appeal my DUI charges. Her expertise in understanding the stipulations and legal precedence is outstanding. Below I described three cases that she helped get dismissed. 1) Jessica represented me in all of the DMV hearin...gs. The DMV ruled against me and suspended my license. This did not defeat Jessica as she exerted her legal prowess to appeal the DMV's decision by filing a Writ of Mandate. To my surprise, the DMV reversed their decision!! 2) Due to Covid-19, my court proceedings for my DUI criminal charges were prolonged for over a year. I was very impressed that during this time frame Jessica remained in close communication with me. She was always responsive and provided clarity through every step. In 2021, as we prepared for trial, she swiftly helped me get one of the best forensic toxicologists in Los Angeles to support my case. She gathered all the necessary evidence and explained the legal grounds. She provided excellent consultation by outlining the requirements, penalties, and fines associated with each plea deal. As I contemplated either to take the plea deal or pursue a trial, Jessica had one last trick up her sleeves. She was able to leverage a new California legislation and my clean background to successfully position me in the right opportunity. She filed a motion to make me a candidate for judicial divergence. I watched how she diligently argued for me in court and convinced the judge to grant the dismissal upon stipulations. Words cannot express my gratitude. I highly recommend Jessica Rico. She is priceless! Thank you, Jessica! You are a gem!

I would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone in the United States or Puerto Rico. Even though I speak some Spanish, having Jessica in Puerto Rico representing me in my case was a huge help. Jessica was always very quick at responding to phone calls, emails, and would never leave me wondering abou...t the logistics of my case. Jessica Rico and Shannon Dorvall somehow got my case dismissed in a court system that supposedly has over a 90% prosecution rate, I owe them so much. My future now has a brighter outlook, so happy with my decision to hire them.
