Hiring a lawyer can feel intimidating for a lot of people.  Finding a trustworthy lawyer that will have your best interests in mind can feel even more intimidating.  I work hard to take the intimidation out of this experience by helping businesses, investors, entrepreneurs and other clients work through complex legal matters and negotiations. I deliver results-driven advocacy and client-focused services in a variety of cases, including estate planning, contract negotiation, business formation, agriculture and commercial real estate transactions and more. 

Integrity

Being open and honest in this industry is the key to success. I always have my clients best interest at heart when working together. Fostering open lines of communication and making sure everything is transparent between the client and myself will be a top priority.

Customer Service

My clients know how grateful I am to represent them because my customer service knows no bounds. I  make sure my clients are comfortable and understanding of the legal process throughout their entire experience with me.

Local Roots

I was born, raised, and am continually involved in this community. I grew up in a business and agricultural family, so I have a great understanding of the community and businesses within it. Being involved in my family’s business gives me an understanding of clients needs from their perspective.

Jessica provided legal assistance on my late fathers will. I was definitely impressed with her professionalism throughout the process as well as the compassion that she displayed during this tough time. Anytime I contacted her I was able to get a same day response and she was extremely efficient. She is truly phenomenal and I recommend her to anybody in need of a lawyer. I will definitely use her in the future.

Services

Business Law

Just as there are many growth stages in operating a business, there are also many legal considerations for each stage. From starting a business, scaling that business, handing it down to the next generation and/or selling your business, Jessica Henman Law can help you with all of your needs through every exciting chapter.

Startup Support

Starting a business can be an exciting time for a new entrepreneur, but also can feel overwhelming (and often stressful) as well. After all, there are a lot of things to consider when launching a new business. What type of entity should it be? What forms are necessary? These are just a couple of the questions we walk through together when you use my legal services for new entrepreneurs. With me as your attorney, you’ll feel confident that you’re starting off on the right foot.

Real Estate Law

Buying, selling, and leasing real estate in California does not need to be overly complicated or expensive. Jessica Henman Law aims to provide streamlined solutions for your needs. We provide effective advice from the pre-purchase, due diligence, and inspection phase all the way through closing, and pride ourselves on providing clients with skilled, quality representation in all types of real estate transactions and related disputes. Having legal representation is important, as real estate matters can often be complex and extremely detailed.

Estate Planning

Everyone needs an estate plan, but many procrastinate on getting one set up. “I have time, I’ll get this done someday” or “I don’t know where to start, this feels overwhelming” are two of the most common culprits that prevent people from moving forward. With my all-inclusive estate planning services, you will not only feel at ease during the entire process – you’ll feel confident and relief knowing this all-important life step is taken care of with care.
