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!
