There are more important and lasting aspects of life than monetary gain and vengeance which are so often the primary focuses of the legal profession and litigation. The Law Office of Jessica A. Burgess, PLLC is founded on the Christian principle found in Mark 8:36 which says: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” Additionally, Mrs. Burgess' approach to the legal profession can be summed up as "come let us reason, together" as stated in Isaiah 1:18. 

Our goal is to guide our clients through the legal process with sound legal advice and also with advice based upon Christian principles in a manner that encourages our clients to seek the most reasonable and ethical options available to them.
