Practicing law is a second career for Jessica. Her pre-law background was in teaching and middle management. She received a bachelor’s degree in English, with honors, from Grove City College (Grove City, PA) and a Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law (Gulfport, FL) in 2010. Harper Lee’s timeless classic, “To Kill a Mockingbird” was one of her inspirations for going to law school. She is licensed to practice in Florida.
Originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Jessica has been a homeowner, a parent, and an active member of the Sarasota-Bradenton community for over 20 years.
EXCELLENT FAMILY LAW LAWYER! "Jessica advised us on both landlord-tenant and family law issues. She is the best! She is so patient and hard-working. She is such a voice for what is right that I have complete confidence in her legal advice. I have recommended her to friends and will use her again in the future if needed. Thank you, Jessica!"
Jaime Lisa, Sarasota
"We have retained Jessica for four different legal matters. She was great at communicating the status of each one, and very astute at getting the job done without being too financially draining. She is my lawyer for life!"
Alexia Kern, Sarasota
"I was using a high-priced family law firm in Tampa that was giving me bad legal advice about my ex-wife's rights to my retirement. Jessica saved me from losing my shirt! I highly recommend her."
