Jessica Meyer is an associate attorney with Zanck, Coen, Wright & Saladin, PC, where her practice focuses on estate planning, probate and trust administration, real estate transactions, and litigation. She joined the firm in April 2026, bringing nearly ten years of legal experience advising clients on real estate matters, probate and guardianship proceedings, small-business transactions, and civil litigation, including personal injury and medical malpractice claims.

A McHenry County native with strong Chicago-area roots, Jessica’s approach is practical, compassionate, and detail-oriented. She understands that estate planning and real estate matters often involve major life decisions, complex family dynamics, sensitive financial concerns, and questions that clients may feel intimidated or too overwhelmed to ask. Jessica works diligently to ensure clients feel heard, informed, and confident as they make important decisions about their families, property, businesses, and futures.

Before joining ZCWS, Jessica operated Meyer Legal Advocates, where she developed a strong interest in helping families plan ahead, navigate transitions, and make informed decisions about property, incapacity planning, probate administration, and legacy planning.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys spending time with family, especially her niece and nephew, and staying involved in the local communities where she lives and works.
