Meet Jessica

Jessica began her practice as a criminal defence lawyer.  She continues to practice criminal law, however, since joining Chapman Law, Jessica has expanded her areas of practice to include civil litigation, family law, and wills and estates. Jessica brings her trial and appeal experience and a contagious positive energy to the firm.

When Jessica isn’t fighting for her clients, she can be found behind a camera or spending time hanging out at home or a nearby patio with her husband Jaime and their precious toy poodle, Ralphie.
