I was born and raised in Colorado, and received a Bachelors Degree in History with minors in Political Science and Legal Studies at Colorado State University. After graduation I moved to Oregon to pursue my life long dream of becoming an attorney. I was accepted to Willamette University College of Law on a Presidential Scholarship and moved to Salem in the fall of 2017.
I graduated from Willamette University's College of Law as the Oregon Women Lawyer's Law Graduate of the year.
I was formally sworn in as a member of the Oregon State Bar in October 2020. Since admission, I have represented clients in numerous family law cases including high value asset division, custody and parenting time modifications, spousal support modifications, prenuptual agreements, marital settlement agreements, and divorce litigation. I have also completed a 40 hour mediation training with Dr. Clare Fowler.
I emphasize communication and transparency in my practice. As an attorney you can rely on me to be honest with you and willing to guide you every step of the way. I feel it is important to recognize the mental and emotional costs of your case as well as the financial costs in order to determine the best path forward. My goal is to make sure you are not entrenched in a years-long legal battle and to find a solution that works for you.
I love living and working in Oregon. I spend my off hours hiking, camping, listening to podcasts, knitting, and spending time with my husband in our garden.

My ex-husband made the divorce process about as difficult as he could manage. He stalled, he approached negotiations in bad faith, he tried to go around my attorney, he tried to make me feel responsible for his emotional and financial well-being, he would wait until the absolute last second to bring ...

I cannot recommend Jessy highly enough. She secured the best possible deal for me and made sure I walked away with everything I worked so hard for. Her honesty, clear game plan, and sharp logical thinking truly set her apart. Most importantly, she helped me stay emotionally regulated throughout the p...

Ms. Morris was incredibly professional, organized, and knowledgeable about family law. No attorney worth your time is going to be "cheap" but I would say that Ms. Morris' rates were fair and I am happy to have spent the money to have my divorce resolved in a civil and timely manner. I would recommend...

When it came time to call around for divorce attorneys, they all had a relatively common refrain: essentially, "abandon all hope and resign yourself to eternal suffering--you're ****ed." With the notable exception of Jessy from Hotley Law! When Jessy returned my call, she came PREPARED. Wanted ...

We had an unfortunate family event happen that caused us to search for a lawyer. We were relieved to find Jessy. She has been nothing but empathetic, knowledgeable, prompt, professional, articulate, and has a strong writing ability. It was a comfort to have her representing our case. She made the pro...
