BiographyGet to Know Jessica

Jessica holds a Bachelor of Science from Arkansas State University (2016), a Juris Doctor from the UA Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law (2019), and a Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.) from the University of Florida Levin College of Law (2020). Since becoming licensed in 2019, she has focused her practice on estate planning, business planning, probate, real estate, and tax law.

She particularly enjoys working with small business owners, family-run enterprises, and young families—helping them plan wisely for the future and understand not just what they’re doing, but why it matters. Jessica believes in a holistic approach to the law: making sure every legal and financial base is covered with efficiency, clarity, and a bit of tough love when needed.

Jessica currently serves as Chair of the Tax Section of the Arkansas Bar Association and is a member of BNI Little Rock Natural Networkers. When she’s not at the office, you can find her chasing her three children (ages 18, 4, and 2) around their six-acre homestead in Jacksonville, Arkansas, where she lives with her husband Benjamin and their flock of chickens. She loves gardening, being outdoors, and raising her family in the kind of life she’s helping others protect.
