provided insights into her education, career and passions in life. The following is an excerpt
taken from her response:
“I transitioned back into doing criminal defense work,” she wrote. “Although my case load was
drastically decreased, I really learned what it was like to have extensive interaction with clients.
I truly had a 24/7 obligation to my clients, and promised them the best of my work, my time
and my energy. The primary cases that I was working on defending were those of a Vehicular
Homicide, a DUI with Serious Bodily Injury, a Scheme To Defraud, a Sexual Battery on a Minor,
and a Possession of Child Pornography. I applied my skills as a prosecutor to help deconstruct
the State's cases. I extensively sought out and worked with leading experts in their respective
fields on how they could benefit our cases.
“In addition to my criminal practice, I also became involved in civil litigation,” continued Jessie
Weissman of Sarasota, FL. “Notably, I was working on litigation regarding a real estate
transaction where our client was defrauded out of over a million dollars. I conducted
depositions and argued motions to maintain a lis pendens on the property to prevent the
defendant from selling the real estate.”
