The alleged victims claimed that the client and her friend pushed their way into their home with a gun in hand, demanding a television. One of the alleged victims could not remember what happened so the prosecutor did a motion for the jury to hear that alleged victim’s original statement to the police. Jessica objected and, after a full hearing and testimony of the alleged victim, the Judge agreed with Jessica and the statement was not admitted. The prosecution then reduced the charge to Burglary with a Battery and offered probation. However, the client chose to take the case to trial. Jessica was able to track down and obtain a cell phone video of the crime from a neighbor which proved the client was merely present for the crime but did not actually commit a crime.

The police alleged that the client was in a vehicle that dropped off another man to sell narcotics to a buyer who ended up being a confidential informant. The police detained and searched the client, on that basis, and claimed they found Heroin in his pocket. Jessica filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence, and upon review of the Motion, the prosecutor dismissed the case. Thereafter, Jessica filed a Motion to return the client’s property to him and it was granted. The police were ordered to return the client’s cell phone and cash to him.

The alleged victim was stabbed with a knife, tied up and left in a bath tub. Unfortunately, the client made a statement to the police upon his arrest, and admitted that he had stabbed the victim, tied him up and left him in the bath tub. Jessica argued a hybrid defense of self-defense and insanity, explaining to the jury that the client had a long documented history of severe mental health issues and abuse and he truly believed that he was under attack when he took those violent actions; he believed that he was defending his own life.

The client was alleged to have sold his prescription medication to a confidential informant and was facing a 15 year minimum mandatory prison sentence. Jessica filed a Motion to Disclose the Identity of the Confidential Informant based on the Defense of Entrapment. The Motion was granted and the State, intending on keeping the identity of the informant secret, had no choice but to dismiss the charges.

The client was alleged to have sold his prescription morphine and oxycodone to a confidential informant. Jessica did a Motion to Disclose the Identity of Confidential Informant and the Motion was granted. Jessica was able to show the jury that the informant was a liar and had entrapped the client, a law abiding citizen and a veteran, in return for keeping himself out of prison.

The client was alleged to have beaten a man outside of a club on South Beach. Jessica was able to locate and obtain a cell phone video, via social media, that captured the entire incident, revealing that the alleged victim had started the fight and the client was merely defending himself.

The client was a caretaker accused of stealing a large amount of money from an elderly woman whom she was caring for. The State had significant evidence including receipts, videos of the client cashing checks made to cash at the bank and a doctor who stated that the alleged victim was not in her right mind. Jessica was able to show the jury that the client and the alleged victim had a very close relationship and the client took outstanding acre of her. Moreover, the alleged victim’s family had filed a civil law suit and their motive in the criminal case was to get paid.

The client scored almost 10 years at the bottom of the guidelines and the State would not go any lower than 7 years in prison with the previous attorney. The client hired Jessica, after spending almost 2 years in jail waiting for a resolution on the case. Within a few months, Jessica was able to negotiate this deal.

The client wanted to move to another State to be closer to her parents. The Father was exercising his time sharing, had a strong bond with the child, paid child support, and was objecting to the move. Jessica was able to present a schedule to the Court that would give the Father the same amount of overnights as he already had, and that the move was in the child’s best interest. The Court granted the relocation.

The Husband left the Client for a much younger woman after over 30 years of marriage. He moved out and stopped paying the very expensive mortgage. He promptly made sure he earned less money and claimed he could not afford the bills. Jessica presented evidence that the Husband has always paid the mortgage and was conveniently under employed. The Court ordered that he pay approximately $4,000.00 per month in temporary support.

The Client had numerous attorneys prior to hiring Jessica. He was already in a very bad position with an injunction prohibiting him from seeing his daughter, having already been held in contempt and in serious debt for unpaid support. Jessica steadily turned the case around: the injunction was dissolved, time sharing was increased, child support was reduced, and the Former Wife was held in contempt.

The Client was accused of child abuse by his girlfriend’s ex-husband. After a lengthy and technical evidentiary hearing that centered on whether or not the Court would allow children to testify in court and whether or not the Court admit child hearsay evidence, the Court ruled in favor of the Client and Denied the Injunction.
