I am Jessica Patterson, a dedicated family law and criminal defense attorney serving the Greater Boston area in Suffolk and Middlesex Counties. My practice focuses on representing children and parents in state intervention and family regulation proceedings, including Care and Protection cases, Termination of Parental Rights, and Child Requiring Assistance petitions. I also provide Limited Assistance Representation (LAR) for clients seeking legal support in specific aspects of their cases and advocate for LGBTQ+ families and children navigating legal challenges.

I earned my Juris Doctor from Loyola University New Orleans, College of Law, and my Master of Laws (LL.M.) in International Business Law from the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. With a strong litigation background and trial experience, I approach every case with strategic advocacy and a deep commitment to my clients’ rights and well-being.

I believe that every client deserves a strong advocate—someone who listens, understands, and fights for their rights. Whether you need help protecting your parental rights, defending against criminal charges, or navigating complex legal issues, I am here to provide knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective representation.
