A steady hand for life's most personal legal moments.

Jessica Perez Reynolds became a partner with Pendley, Baudin & Coffin in 2022, after serving as an associate with the firm since 2012.  Jessica’s early career included work as a public defender, defending indigent clients in criminal court before transitioning to complex civil litigation.  Her primary practice focuses on trial work and advanced litigation including catastrophic personal injury cases, mass torts, class actions, multi-district litigation, pharmaceutical litigation, and products liability claims.  As a trial lawyer, Jessica has had the opportunity to represent families from across the country and the good fortune to secure numerous multi-million-dollar verdicts including the largest medical malpractice jury verdict in the history of Colorado state court.

Described as a self-professed learn it all, Jessica holds a B.S. in Biological Sciences, M.Sc. in Forensic Science, a Graduate Diploma in Comparative Law, and a Juris Doctorate degree.  One of her greatest skills is the creativity she brings in approaching complex problems in a unique, thoughtful, and analytical manner both in and out of the courtroom.   As a firm believer in the concept that every problem has a solution, Jessica is a team player who utilizes her creativity to devise innovative solutions to complex problems for the benefit of her clients.  Jessica also enjoys educating other attorneys across the country on creative trial skills and strategies.
