Jessica begins each case with a thorough review of discovery, noting discrepancies in police reports and testing the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecutor’s case.

Jessica works closely with clients to understand goals, whether seeking a resolution or preparing for trial. When negotiating, she presents mitigation and a counteroffer, building a full picture of each client’s life and circumstances.
