“Jessica, thank you so very much for all that you’ve done for me regarding my DUI. The plea agreement you brokered worked out better than I could have hoped for. Your quick response to emails and calls, expert legal advice, and court savvy were so important in obtaining a plea that was beyond what I even thought we could get. I’m very satisfied with your legal work, and very fortunate to have you represent me. I would recommend you to anyone who needs legal representation.”
