Hey y’all, I’m Jessie. And may I just say, it is great to say “y’all” again! I recently moved back to Arkansas after six years in the Missouri Midwest. I graduated from University of Missouri- Kansas City School of Law in 2021, where I was on the Dean’s List, competed in appellate court competitions, Law Income Tax Clinic, the Sports Law Society, the Emissary Program, and the Mentor Program. After passing the bar exam, I hung by shingles and opened my own practice in rural Northwest Missouri. I spent two years in general practice and was elected Prosecutor of Mercer County Missouri during that time.
Ultimately though, there is no place like home, so in the spring of 2024 that is just where I returned. I am excited to learn how to serve clients in even more areas under the tutelage of the Lion Legal leadership.
Before going to law school, I was (and still am!) a true-blue Arkansas chick. I was raised in Little Rock, then went to University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on a swimming & diving scholarship. I majored in Criminal Justice & Sociology, with minors in Legal Studies and Social Work.
Though I am no longer a student athlete, I still love to compete in whatever venue tickles my fancy. Lately that has been mixed martial arts and running, but nowhere does that competitive edge kick in more than when advocating for my clients.
“Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready” is my moto, so clients can trust me when I say that I will always be prepared to zealously represent their interests at every stage of the case.
It is good to be home, and I am so excited to serve my neighbors!
