Taking care of business

Hiring, Jessica Da Silva was one of the best decisions I ever made without hesitation, I also had the privilege of seeing her father, in action myself in the courtroom and when he walked in, they knew he was gonna give them a fight and that hasn’t changed with Jessica. not even a little bit because... the day that I fired my public defender. True story he told me she’s a good lawyer, and I looked at him and I told him I know that’s why I hired her and from the day she took over my case it was resolved a couple of court dates later even better than what I was trying get thank you again, Jessica

Would have no other!

Be The day I was assigned Jessica DeSalva as my defense attorney was the best day of my life. Jessica is clever smart experienced and maintains a professional demeanor while easily finding the humor in everyday life. I always had the belief that if you did not do anything wrong, the DA would hear ...my side/version of events the DA would do the right thing and dismiss the charges! I never realized how the DA would bend & distort the truth in order to convict me of something that was untrue. We went to trial and got acquittal and court dismissed lesser charge. Not only did Jessica keep me from going to jail but her representation enabled me to get my nurses license reinstated. Should I need another attorney in the future there would be no other that I would have.. Karl S

Journey

18’ Jessica has played a pivotal role in my life, and if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have the freedom I enjoy today. Jessica fought for me and believed in me when I was told the road ahead was too difficult. Jessica has gone above and beyond for me, and still check in with one another to this day. I... am grateful for her representation and cannot recommend her enough. Jessica is well respected in and out of the courtroom and shows grace to those who would be otherwise forgotten by the judicial system.

Hiring Jessica was the best decision

In 2022, Jessica was recommended to me through a family friend during a challenging period in my life. The recommendation came with high confidence in her ability to handle my case well. Jessica was consistently optimistic and clear from the start. She kept me in the loop about the strategic plans fo...r my case with constant communication. Jessica proactively guided me through actions beneficial for me and my case, often anticipating the court's requirements. Importantly, she never made promises but kept me informed about potential scenarios in this scary and traumatic situation. Her dedication and proactive approach gave me hope for a positive outcome. I appreciate Jessica's accessibility, straightforwardness, and commitment to my case. The result was the dismissal of the case, and I can't thank her enough! This case and charge could have been very detrimental to my career, and because of Jessica, I can continue pursuing this career. I highly recommend her services. Before meeting with Jessica regarding my case other lawyers made me think my career was over and my future was doomed. Jessica's approach toward my case was a breath of fresh air and showed the confidence in her abilities that I needed to feel assured I was in good hands with her on my case.
