Biography

Jessica Breckenridge has devoted her practice to family law – divorce, custody disputes, child support, and spousal maintenance. She has a passion for helping families during some of the toughest times.

Ms. Breckenridge is a fierce advocate for her clients, both in and out of a courtroom. She enjoys being in the court room being able to help tell her client’s stories, but she is also prepared to fight outside of court to try to come to a resolution that meets the needs of the family. Ms. Breckenridge recognizes that every family is different, and every case is different with different goals and emotions. Since every case is different, Ms. Breckenridge approaches each client as an individual, working closely with the family to develop best strategies for best outcomes.
