About Jessica
Jessica Coderre built her legal foundation through formal training and steady courtroom experience. She completed her J.D. at Western New England University School of Law in 2014, where she concentrated in criminal law. Before that she earned a Bachelor of Science in Justice and Law Administration from Western Connecticut State University in 2009.
After law school she entered practice in 2014 as an associate attorney at Tomeo Sills, LLC. That early role put her to work on matters that required attention to procedure and client communication. Colleagues from that period describe her as pragmatic and detail-oriented, able to move cases through busy dockets while keeping clients informed.
She later joined The Sills Law Office, LLC. There she continued to develop her practice and to handle filings, court appearances and negotiations across state lines. Her work at the firm has involved interaction with prosecutors, clerks and defense counsel in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. The record shows steady courtroom participation rather than a purely transactional caseload.
Coderre is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and Connecticut. She has been a member of the Massachusetts State Bar since 2014 and is also listed as a lawyer in Connecticut from the same year. That dual admission supports representation of clients who have matters that cross jurisdictions or that require coordination between state systems.
Her academic background in criminal law informs the matters she accepts and how she prepares for court. She is experienced in drafting motions, arguing pretrial issues and conducting client interviews that shape defense strategy. In practice she balances advocacy at hearings with the procedural work that keeps cases moving, such as discovery requests and calendar management.
Clients and peers note that Coderre brings a steady approach to often stressful situations. She manages the practical side of litigation while attending to legal detail. Her current practice focuses on criminal defense in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
