I worked primarily with Jessica Carmichael, although Zachary Deubler and Amy also assisted me. I have had less than pleasant experiences with an attorney in the past, so I was reticent initially to hire Jessica. However, it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Jessica is strikingly intelligent, perceptive, and fierce. Not only does she have a sensitivity for the most intricate of legal nuances, she has the bravery and will to advance carefully crafted legal arguments and fight for her clients' rights. She is unafraid to speak her mind - to the court or to you. She will tell you what she thinks is the likeliest outcome. But, she also respects the agency and independence of her clients, working with them to develop a defense that is true to their wishes during incredibly vulnerable times. Everyone at this firm was accommodating, respectful, and helpful. Zachary and Amy were also particularly willing to go out of their way to help in any way they could. Besides being professionals performing an incredible social function, they are also genuinely decent people. I could not be happier with Jessica's representation. I do not think anyone else could have done a better job. I highly recommend you hire her and her team.
