Always adventurous, Jessica found her way to Wyoming after graduating from the University of Washington School of Law in 1996 and has practiced here ever since. Professionally, she has brought a countless number of cases to trial. No stranger to oral argument, she has had much success in front of the Wyoming Supreme Court and the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Her legal practice has evolved to one of solid, sophisticated litigation in a variety of complex legal fields. Jessica lends thoughtful advice to her business clients in "litigation avoidance" and helps them maintain proactive business practices that lead them to success. Jessica’s professionalism, efficiency, and belief in her clients are complemented by her love of Wyoming and the outdoors.
Jessica is looking forward to sharing Wyoming and her passion for the outdoors, mountain biking, and skiing with her little boy, Solomon.
