From the classroom to the courtroom...nothing will get you there quicker than a job in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. It is our creed and for Deputy District Attorney Jessica Villalvazo, a first-generation college graduate from the San Fernando Valley, it is a dream come true. Follow Jessica as she navigates a complicated misdemeanor case while learning what it means to resist political extremes, keep victims at the center of every decision, and pursue justice based on facts and law--not public opinion. From her first day in a courtroom to her current work at the Santa Clarita office, Jessica's journey embodies the dedication and idealism that District Attorney Nathan Hochman is working to reinforce throughout the nation's largest local prosecutorial office.
