Jesse exudes reliability in every aspect of his work, ensuring that every detail of my case was handled with the utmost care and attention. What truly sets Jesse apart is his remarkable ability to communicate effectively. He effortlessly explains complex legal concepts in a way that anyone can understand, breaking down jargon and legalese into layman's terms. This made navigating the legal process not only manageable but surprisingly enlightening. Jesse's dedication to clear communication meant that I was always kept informed and involved in every step. Whether through phone calls, emails, or face-to-face meetings, he was always readily available to address any questions or concerns I had, providing guidance and reassurance along the way.

As an executive, I use various lawyers for different purposes. Though I hate litigation and avoid it at all costs, sometimes you have to deal with a problem more aggressively. Jesse helped me resolve a tenuous issue without having to go to trial. He's clear-headed, tough, but realistic. He doesn't paint pie in the sky pictures of how great everything's going to be. Even if you're in the right, he lets you know the risks, costs, and time a case will take, all while helping to brainstorm ways to resolve disputes without litigation. I've always found him to be a great thinker and the kind of lawyer you want when the going gets tough.

Jesse is a fabulous attorney, having all of the attributes you look for in an attorney: he is smart, intuitive, has legal chops from years and years of experience, and he is super personable. What separates JEsse from the rest of the civil bar, usual lawyers, is his understanding of his client's psychology. He grasps the anxiety with which folks experience in civil litigation. He soothing demeanor and his attentiveness to clients questions, emails, text messages separate him from all others. During his representaiton of me, Jesse ensured I was educated about the law, he was readily available day and night for direct communciation (text and phone) and he made sure I was comfortable by setting realistic expectations and then he followed through. I highly recommend Jesse (on a side note as a practicing criminal attorney I refer many clients to Jesse due to my positive experince with him.
