After spending the first half of her career litigating matrimonial matters, Jessica has spent the last decade focused on helping her clients resolve family law matters outside of court. As a teenager, Jessica experienced firsthand the challenges of her parents’ divorce and of a parent’s history with drug and alcohol abuse. It is that personal experience, together with her experience as a young attorney in litigation, that fuel Jessica’s desire to help her clients navigate family law issues in a healthier way. Jessica deeply values the opportunity to work with individuals and couples at a critical time in their lives, and to make a meaningful difference for her clients and their families.

Jessica’s reputation for the highest ethical standards and professional ability has earned her numerous awards, including a peer rating of AV Preeminent from Martindale-Hubbell and selection to Super Lawyers’ New York Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists for over a decade.

Jessica was trained in mediation by the Center for Understanding in Conflict and in Collaborative Law by the New York Association of Collaborative Law Professionals. She serves as Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York.
