Born and raised in Missoula, Montana into a sixth-generation Montana family, Jessica DeMarois completed her undergraduate work in the University of Montana History Department before graduating from the University of Montana School of Law and continuing her education at University of Washington School of Law where she obtained her Masters in Tax Law.

Jess is experienced in guiding her clients through the complex and evolving frontiers of Montana cannabis and alcohol licensing law. Jess is compassionate and empathetic while being extremely efficient and effective. She strives to exceed the expectations of her clients and have some fun along the way- her greatest joy is in helping people achieve their dreams, build cool businesses, and offering support and expertise when problems arise.

Jess has a background in federal and state taxation, non-profit administration, administrative and criminal law, formerly working as a King County criminal prosecutor in Seattle and as a Senior Deputy Attorney General at the Montana Department of Revenue.

Jess is married to Mike, also a tax lawyer (I know) and the proud mother of three beautiful children. She started JDMT Law after the death of her second child, and her goal for the firm is to create a space where clients are people first and where we always remember how lucky we are to call this great place home.
