Jessica Greenberg

I am a trial attorney who has handled thousands of cases, everything from simple hearings to full jury trials. I have been practicing law since 2018 and have always been passionate about justice and seeing that the legal system works according to the ideals it is supposed to be based on. The longer I work in the system, the more I want to see it working as intended, protecting the innocent and ensuring that the State has the evidence to prove their case. I have also done some civil work, including petitions and motions and am working more and more in the area of landlord/tenant and other forms of property law.

I grew up in Princeton, NJ and received my Bachelor’s in History from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts before attending Rutgers Newark School of Law in New Jersey. I am involved with the Virginia Bar Association Criminal section, as well as a member of the Bar’s Criminal Law Division.

I believe strongly that protecting my clients and pushing the court system to operate for the good of the people living within its jurisdiction is the purpose of an attorney, and I work daily to fulfill those goals.

Q. Will I get in trouble for accidentally passing a school bus?

April 15, 2024

A: Whether you get a ticket will largely depend on 1) if the bus driver noted you, felt you were passing them and reported you, and 2) if the bus had video cameras (the distribution of those cameras is very sporadic). This is a tough one, because the judges take it very seriously in light of the risk to children. There are things you can do to help mitigate the situation if you do get a ticket, but you may still be looking at penalties from the court. That said, I'd advise seeing if you have a ticket before worrying about mitigation.

Q. Can I take an online driver course at 19 to offset demerit points for 60mph in a 45 if my prior driving history is clean

April 15, 2024

A: If you have not in the past 2 years, you can take a driver improvement class for +5 points on your license.

Q. Can i own a gun if my roommate is a felon

April 15, 2024

A: You are legally permitted to possess a firearm, but I would strongly advise safe storage practices (get a gun safe, I believe the Richmond police have had several giveaways for it and there are a number of affordable options). If your roommate is found to be in possession of it (and that is not a very clearly defined word in the law, although it merely being in the house should not be sufficient - but easy access may), they may be guilty of a felony with mandatory years of prison time. So I would definitely discuss the situation with your roommate before making this decision. Home invasions are extremely rare unless there is more to it.
