About Jessica
As the founder of Zadjura Family Law LLC, Jessica believes that while conflict may be inevitable, resolution does not always have to be a battle. Jessica’s philosophy centers on empowering clients with clear options, honest and straightforward guidance, and unwavering support, whether that means negotiating a settlement, mediating a parenting plan, or litigating a contested case. Her goal is always to protect the best interests of children while helping parents build sustainable, healthy arrangements that allow families to move forward.
Jessica has deep roots in Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, where she has practiced family law since the inception of her career. She understands the court systems, the judges who hear these cases, and the unique challenges families face in these communities. Her practice extends beyond these county lines, serving clients throughout Maryland with the same personalized approach.
In addition to her legal practice, Jessica is deeply engaged in her community and the broader legal profession. She serves as an adjunct professor at Anne Arundel Community College, where she enjoys sharing her knowledge and mentoring the next generation of legal professionals. She is a current board member for Impact100 Greater Chesapeake, supporting initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families. Jessica was also appointed as the 2025–2026 Co-Chair of the Family Law Section for the Maryland Association for Justice, Inc., reflecting her commitment to advancing the practice of family law statewide.
Jessica holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland and a Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law. She has completed Maryland’s 40-hour basic mediation training, plus the 20-hour advanced training in child custody and marital property, qualifying her to serve as a third-party neutral in family disputes both privately and through court appointment. She has also completed parent coordination training and best interest attorney training to serve as a court-appointed or privately retained parent coordinator and child attorney.
Her commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed: from 2016 to 2023, Super Lawyers named her a Maryland Rising Star in family law. In 2024 and 2025, she earned the coveted Super Lawyer recognition — an honor reserved for just 5% of Maryland lawyers each year.
Jessica’s mix of real-world empathy, local knowledge, and unwavering commitment, combined with her dedication to teaching, community service, and professional leadership, makes her the advocate you want in your corner, whether you are navigating litigation, mediation, parent coordination, or charting a different new path forward for your family.
