Jessica J. Bustamante

"My passion for litigation stems from a desire to help people and businesses navigate and overcome difficult situations. I find it particularly rewarding to do so through meticulous preparation, creative problem-solving, and persuasive storytelling."

Rigorous analysis, powerful and persuasive advocacy, and personal commitment are the defining features of Jessica Bustamante's approach to the wide range of litigation and contested matters she handles. An experienced courtroom practitioner, Jessica immerses herself in the facts and issues of each case, investing the time, effort, and creativity needed to position her clients for the best possible outcome. 

Jessica's practice involves a broad spectrum of complex commercial, bankruptcy, medical malpractice, construction, and fiduciary disputes in state and federal courts and alternative dispute resolution forums. She is particularly skilled at crafting compelling narratives in both her oral and written advocacy, combining sound legal analysis with strategic persuasion to achieve the most impactful arguments on behalf of her clients.

A natural problem-solver, Jessica is adept at developing and implementing strategies that consider not only the case at hand, but also the broader financial, practical, and reputational stakes for her clients. Jessica recognizes the cost, stress, and disruption that protracted litigation can bring to the businesses and individuals she represents. That is why she provides each client with personal attention, clarity, consistent communication, and demonstrable dedication throughout the case lifecycle.
