She is a miserable human being. I handled a prove up before her on a wrongful death case of a minor. The surviving mother was in the Courtroom weeping. When I asked her to assess general damages she demanded to know where my exper...Read More02/28/2023 01:21 PMContact reviewer

Judge Jessner will make you miserable if you go to trial in her courtroom. The only thing good I can say about her is that she is so mean and unprofessional that she probably drives more litigants to settle just to stay TF away fr...Read More10/22/2022 07:37 PMContact reviewer

It's not that Judge Jessner is pro plaintiff or pro defendant. She is pro-money, pro-prestige, pro- big firm. The best way to put it is she is pro-Goliath. I'm not sure whether she supports Trump, but they are of the same ilk. Th...Read More05/27/2019 08:32 PMContact reviewer

Judge Jessner has the worst temperament I've ever witnessed in a judge after seventeen years of practice. Avoid her at all cost, especially if you are not "big law". A former big-law lawyer herself, she has an unabashed bias for ...Read More02/28/2019 03:04 PMContact reviewer

49301Criminal Defense LawyerNo RatingJudge Jessner is a pretty good judge. She also has a sense of humor. I would rate her a 7 out of 10.

In a civil case, Judge was professional, researched the law and allowed both sides to present their case in a fair manner. Be prepared to state the legal basis to any objection you raise and have supporting case law handy.11/27/2014 11:36 PMContact reviewer
