Jesha prepares pleadings, performs legal research, drafts letters, communicates with the courts and our clients, but is also responsible for all of the unexpected tasks and emergency matters that arise in a complex area such as family law. While family law is extremely challenging, as there is an added emotionality behind its proceedings, Jesha appreciates rising to the occasion and learning something new every day while finding solutions to the unique situations that arise. Jesha is a passionate advocate who seeks to provide support through her work as well as through compassion for the psychological struggles of litigation within families.
