Jessica Zupp offers experience, insight, and sensitivity in all legal matters. She enjoys helping those affected by injury, death, divorce and arrest to navigate toward a better, brighter future.
Betrayed. Frightened. Abused. Hurt. Most people who turn to Jessica for her legal expertise are at their worst, and she helps them see that there is a brighter future in store for them. “I am very blessed and honored that people trust me to help them through some of their most difficult situations.”
Jessica takes pride in offering honest advice and personal attention to each client. She doesn’t take her role as your compassionate legal advocate lightly. She’s an expert at finding the middle ground. After eight years of debate and over ten years as an attorney, she is adept at setting and implementing an effective overall strategy for each case.
As a criminal defense attorney, Jessica takes the time to make sure clients understand their rights, helps to set a goal for the outcome of each case, and maps out an effective plan to reach that goal. She investigates to make sure no stone is left unturned, prepares cases for trial, and negotiates with prosecutors to ensure the best possible outcome.
Jessica is highly regarded amongst her peers in the legal community. Her detail-oriented personality and knack for legal writing mean that she is frequently hired by other attorneys to compose their appelate briefs; her courtroom skills lead other attorneys to hire her to appear at the Iowa Appelate or Supreme Court to make their oral arguments.
Jessica believes a successful divorce involves compromise, but she also understands that clients need someone who is willing to fight for what they deserve. No two divorces are the same; some can be amicable and others can be emotionally wrenching.
Whether a divorce requires aggressive litigation or resolution through court negotiations, Jessica does what is best for each client. Jessica is well versed in complex divorce cases that involve children, retirement accounts, extensive assets, and multiple properties or business concerns.
Jessica has helped countless clients through the complexities of divorce, but what sets her a part from other attorneys is — she’s been there. A recent divorcee, Jessica knows what you are going through, and the experience has made her a better attorney. She will work relentlessly to get you the results you deserve.
Jessica is the proud mom of a beautiful, intelligent daughter, Breanna. Breanna is the proud mom of five farm kitties: Coco, Mark, Chucky, and two who have yet to be named. In her spare time, Jessica loves music, movies, and shopping; other hobbies include cooking, cleaning, and being a mom.
