His consumer work is driven by a commitment to accountability and fairness, particularly where individuals or small businesses are harmed by deceptive or abusive practices. His work on issues animal law is motivated by a broader concern with our ethical responsibilities, our compassion for those who cannot speak or advocate for themselves, and the effective use of legal systems to remedy and prevent harm and suffering.

He is a member of the Federal Practice and Procedure Section, where he previously served as Chair, and has served on the Nominating Committee.

His philosophical training informs a rigorous, ethical, and clear-eyed approach to problem-solving and advocacy. He focuses on helping clients understand the law, how it applies to their situation, and how to pursue their goals strategically and efficiently.

Outside the office, Jesse values traveling with his family and finding new opportunities to develop judgment, empathy, and a broader understanding of our world—qualities he brings to his work with clients.
