Jessica joined the Montco Elder Law team in 2019 as a Legal Assistant with the goal of pursuing her law degree and becoming an attorney. She graduated cum laude from Widener University Delaware Law School, earning her Juris Doctor in 2023. Jessica continued to work as a Legal Assistant while attending law school, which allowed her to supplement her legal education with practical experience. Although she is a newer attorney, she has years of experience interacting with clients and discussing their legal issues; furthermore, she has a more recent perspective on analyzing legal issues and applying clients’ facts and circumstances to the complex theories of law.

Jessica maintains an interest in practicing Orphans’ Court litigation, in addition to practicing estate and elder law. During her time at law school, Jessica was a member of the Moot Court Honor Society. While on MCHS, Jessica achieved First Place in the Distinguished Jurist Moot Court competition in 2023, and she was awarded for submitting the best Appellate Briefs in 2021 and 2022. She can apply her legal research and effective writing skills to address any extraordinary issues that clients may face within the fields of estate and elder law, including Guardianships, Will Contests, Probate Estate litigation, and Trust Administration litigation, to name a few.
