JESSICA L. WITHERSPOON
PARTNER
Jessica: From Sports Enthusiast to Legal Advocate
​
Born and raised in the heart of Arkansas, Jessica’s journey to the legal profession is as unique as it is inspiring. As a little girl, her father confidently predicted that she would one day become a lawyer. Naturally, Jessica set out to prove him wrong, choosing to study sports management in college instead. But fate had its own plans. A business law course during her undergraduate studies ignited an unexpected passion for the law, and Jessica soon realized her dad might have been right all along.
​
After completing her degree in sports management, Jessica embraced her newfound calling and enrolled in law school, where she thrived, graduating at the top of her class. Her success is a testament to her dedication, intellect, and ability to pivot when new opportunities arise.
Jessica’s professional journey brought her to the Davidson Law Firm, where she leverages her prior experience in tax law and estate planning to guide clients through complex legal matters. She finds fulfillment in helping others secure their futures and navigate life's challenges with confidence and care.
​
When she’s not in the office, Jessica enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and children, embracing the natural beauty of Arkansas. Whether she’s hiking a scenic trail or sharing a family barbecue, Jessica embodies the values of hard work, family, and a deep commitment to those she serves.
