About Jessica
Biography
I am an estate planning, probate and trust attorney. My goal is to provide compassionate, respectful counsel with an emphasis on clear and accessible explanations of legal issues that put clients at ease.
I co-founded North Sound Law Group and was previously a partner at Barron Smith Daugert. I enjoy working with individuals and families, building long-term client relationships, and serving the community both in and outside of my practice. I believe in the power of estate planning for peace of mind and ensuring dignity in times of crisis.
I have exclusively practiced in estate planning, probate and trust since 2012. I previously authored and collaborated on numerous publications in diverse fields including law, policy, and organizational evaluation. I currently serve as the Secretary/Treasurer/Vice Chair for the Real Property, Probate and Trust Section of the Washington State Bar, overseeing the Section's legislative activity and continuing legal education. I am also the President of the Northwest Washington Estate Planning Council.
