Not only the best but will get the job done

This is the BEST Attorney it's guaranteed she represented me few months ago even after I was sentenced she went out her way to even help me more when my probation officer was trying to take me to court for not doing community service she explained to my probation officer for my social anxiety and has... helped me the whole entire way this lady is literally a genius and has the sweetest heart I would recommend her to everybody she kept everything very professional and listens not only that she listens she also understands she will get the job done!,. Jessica Autry all the way!

Mrs Autry Again Saved Me from a Dnagerous Legal Courtroom Situation...

I previously wrote a good bit about the amazing skill and dedication I obseveed as Ms. Autry defended me in my first court appearance. I had occasion to go back before the same judge, due to complications in my probation. I never spoke with Ms. Autry prior, however she attended and again defended me ...before the same Judge. I was (very pleasantly) shocked to see her willingness to continue defending me although she had no responsibility to do so. I also noticed a great rapport between her, the Judge, and my excellent Probation Officer. Ms. Autry quickly clarified the situation, and I believe I may owe her again for my freedom, Her communication style, her seeming natural gift as an exceptional arbitrator and communicator, simplifying complex issues and her extremely positive representation of my character resulted in a pretty-much ideal outcome for me! Additionally, she even tried a gambit, based on real facts concerning my behavior and achievements, and medical challenges that I am facing that the judge drop the rest of my probation. THat is what I would describe as 'going ot on a limb' for a client! Although the judge was not willing to drop the remainder of my probation "yet", I was awed by the focus and ambition she showed in trying to help me to the utmost extent possible. Her skills and effectiveness seem to far surpass her age and possible experience. I will never seek another attorney without checking for her availability first. Benjamin Hafer - July 17, 2015

Excellent Representation for Grandson

I highly recommend Ms. Autry for legal representation in criminal matters. She is very knowledgeable about the options available for young people who make mistakes and find themselves facing criminal charges. She kept us informed on each step she took to assure a positive outcome, and I believe she ...aggressively sought fair treatment for him and worked with the prosecutor to that end. The case was dismissed, I was very pleased with the outcome. We could not have asked for nor paid for an attorney of her caliber. Again, thank you!

Couldn't Have Been Blessed With a Better Public Defender

Jessica Autry was an EXCELLENT attourney. At my initial court date I chose Pre-Trial Diversion. Due to financial problems I was not capable of completing what was required. Due to mental/emotional conditions, I felt incapable of dealing with it once I missed probation and my Probation Officer didn't ...return my call. I had no idea what to do, so I did nothing. Thankfully, Ms. Autry was proactive in my defense. I wish I would have called her as soon as I realized that there was conflict in my completing the requirements. She worked EVERYTHING out with the prosecutor assigned to my case. My case is now dismissed and they even graced me with expongement still. I am extremely thankful for Attorneys like Jessica. Knowledgable, proactive, and caring. I couldn't have asked for a better deffense attorney!

She was a "godsend"

She spoke to the Prosecuting Attorney, and got them to accept a plea which kept me from having to go to trail. Further, she also got the Judge to give me more time to pay the fine I owe. I would recommend Jessica Autry to anyone with legal dealings in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
