Let's talk about where you stand.

A charge is not a conviction. When the state files paperwork against you, it can feel like everything has already been decided. It hasn't. There's a process, and there are real choices to make along the way. Jessica's job is to walk through that process with you, understand the case the state is trying to build, and put you in the strongest possible position to answer it.

In Arizona, criminal charges land in three different courts: municipal courts and justice courts handle misdemeanors and Superior Court handles felonies. Jessica appears in all of them, across Maricopa County and statewide. Whether you're facing a first-time DUI in Scottsdale, a domestic violence charge in justice court, or an aggravated assault indictment in Superior Court, the first conversation is the same: she listens, she looks at exactly what the state has, and she tells you what she sees, in plain language, with a realistic plan for what comes next.

You should be focused on healing, not fighting an insurance adjuster. Jessica takes on car and truck collisions, motorcycle and pedestrian injuries, dog bites, slip-and-fall injuries, wrongful death claims, and insurance bad-faith disputes. She builds the fullest picture of what happened, what it cost you, and what it will keep costing you, then negotiates from that position. She works on contingency: no fee unless she recovers for you. And if the insurance company won't offer what your case is actually worth, she's prepared to file suit.

If the Arizona Department of Child Safety has opened a case, or removed a child from your home, the clock is already running and what you say in the first few days matters. Jessica represents parents through dependency proceedings in Maricopa County Juvenile Court. She goes to every hearing, works with you on the case plan, and pushes back in writing when the state's version does not match the family in front of her.

Both. Arizona orders of protection and injunctions against harassment can be issued quickly, sometimes on only one side of the story. Jessica represents both petitioners who need protection kept in place and respondents who need an inaccurate order challenged. Either way, the hearing goes better when someone in the room actually knows how these hearings work.

Juvenile court in Arizona follows different rules and has different outcomes on the table than adult court. What lands on a young person's record now can follow them into college applications and background checks for years. Jessica represents children and teenagers at intake, advisory, adjudication, and disposition, and helps families understand what shows up on the record and what can be set aside later.
