Jessica Yeary Bio:
Jessica Yeary has dedicated her career to criminal defense since being admitted to the Florida Bar in 2009. She spent the first nine years of her profession zealously representing the indigent accused as an Assistant Public Defender in Tallahassee. This year, Mrs. Yeary joined an elite group of attorneys when she became a Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in Criminal Trial Law. She is passionate about criminal justice reform and leadership, currently serving as the President of the Tallahassee Chapter of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. She is also an active member of the Tallahassee Bar Association.
Having benefited greatly from mentorship early on in her own career, Mrs. Yeary is committed to supporting young advocates and aspiring attorneys. She mentors law students through FSU Law’s Association of Criminal Justice and through Tallahassee Women Lawyers. Mrs. Yeary uses her trial expertise to coach the trial team at FSU Law School and assists high schoolers through the TWL-sponsored PACE Center for Girls Mock Trial program.
Mrs. Yeary is an attorney at Caminez & Yeary, P.A.. where she partners with her husband, Ryan Yeary, in bringing justice for their personal injury and criminally accused clients. Originally from Cape Coral, Florida, she received a Bachelor’s in Criminology from the University of Florida in Gainesville and a Juris Doctorate from Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, which is where she and her husband met and got married. After law school, the Yearys decided to venture back to Ryan’s hometown of Tallahassee where they’ve settled down to raise their family. When she’s not advocating for her clients or giving her time to local organizations, Mrs. Yeary can be found on the baseball and football fields in town cheering on her two sons.
