With nearly two decades of legal experience, Jessica has built a career grounded in complex legal analysis, responsible decision-making and client advocacy. Her practice has focused on guiding individuals, families and small businesses through complex real estate and business transactions.

Jessica currently practices with Adkison Need Allen & Rentrop PLLC, a small, Bloomfield Hills based law firm where she handles high-stakes real estate and business transactions and regulatory compliance matters. Her work demands careful statutory and contractual interpretation, strong deal-making skills, attention to detail and balanced problem-solving — the same qualities essential for a Probate Judge.

Earlier in her career, Jessica served as a law clerk to the Chief Judge of the Oakland County Circuit Court. In that role, she assisted with hearings and jury trials, reviewed orders and pleadings and helped manage the docket. This experience provided her with invaluable insight into courtroom management, judicial ethics and the responsibilities entrusted to members of the bench.

A graduate of the University of Michigan (B.A., 2001) and Wayne State University Law School (J.D., 2008), Jessica has remained deeply engaged in Michigan’s legal community. She currently serves as Chairperson of the Continuing Legal Education Committee for the State Bar of Michigan’s Real Property Law Section and has been a Council Member of the Section since 2019. She is also an active member of the Oakland County Bar Association, Lebanese American Chamber of Commerce, Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, Michigan Association for Justice, the Women Officials Network and the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan.

Jessica has been recognized for her professional excellence and community service, including receiving the Detroit City Council Spirit of Detroit Award, the Wayne State University Law School Silver Key Award, and recognition by Best Lawyers. She is a frequent speaker and author on developments in Michigan property law, demonstrating her commitment to ongoing legal education and thought leadership.

As a Probate Judge, Jessica Hallmark will bring experience, impartiality and respect for the rule of law to the bench. Not only is she an experienced attorney, she is also a wife and mother with a strong commitment to family. She understands that probate matters — including estates, guardianships, conservatorships, mental health proceedings and matters involving vulnerable individuals — require both legal precision and human compassion.

Jessica is committed to ensuring that every person who enters the courtroom is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.
