Jessica Mackner

Research Associate

Jessica joined our Administrative/Research Team in 2022. She works closely with our forensic life care plan experts and vocational specialists.

Jessica earned a BA from Arcadia University and subsequently obtained an MS in education and an AAS in paralegal studies. She worked as a paralegal for more than a decade in areas including medical malpractice, personal injury, and patent prosecution before attending law school at Rutgers University School of Law, Camden. She graduated in 2011. After passing the Pennsylvania and New Jersey bar exams, she worked as a public defender in Camden, New Jersey. She later worked as a judicial law clerk for two state court judges in the civil division of the First Judicial District Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she drafted judicial opinions and conducted extensive research. She went on to work as an attorney handling personal injury, wage and hour claims, and other civil matters.

Jessica’s main passion is in research, working with data and information. She is thrilled to be part of an organization where she can bring the skills she has honed over the years to the area of forensic litigation expert services, including life care planning and vocational evaluation.
