Jesse Haskins
Integrity and reputation mean a great deal to Jesse Haskins. So much so, he dedicates his legal practice to preserving them – and seeking the truth.
Fueled by industry insight and tremendous follow-through, it was Jesse’s experience fighting false liens in the attorney general’s office that inspired him to focus his practice on defamation law. As assistant attorney general, Jesse saw first-hand the harm caused by wrongful accusations. Jesse focuses on defamation to protect the rights of all people and their hard-earned reputations.
Attorney Haskins’ background in government regulations and passion for the truth eventually led him to agricultural law, where he advocates for sustainable and transparent food systems while dedicating the bulk of his time fighting to protect peoples’ good names in the field of defamation law.
