Jessie M. Mahr

Jessie Mahr’s practice focuses on all aspects of white-collar and criminal investigations, complex commercial litigation, and environmental litigation.

Jessie has extensive experience supporting her clients in a range of matters and disputes, especially those that involve complex facts and an immense amount of data. Most of her career has been spent parsing through and analyzing large data sets to find the needle in the haystack that so often makes or breaks a case. She is equally skilled at distilling those critical facts into clear, accessible presentations for juries and clients alike. And when investigating a matter or issue, she leaves no stone unturned.

In addition, Jessie’s experience in drafting motions and pleadings, assisting at trial, and counseling clients allows her to identify the critical factual elements needed to make the most effective arguments. When interviewing clients and witnesses, she draws on her background in clinical psychology, which allows her to read a room and vary her approach depending on the tone required for each situation.

Jessie’s upbringing on a farm in central Illinois has taught her hard work and dedication, and has given her the ability to communicate with and relate to many different people, regardless of their background. The variance in her life experiences allows for an understanding of the diverse perspectives and experiences of those who often sit on the juries in her cases.
