Jessica Heitman
Lawyer
Jess illustrates that composure and skill, without the need for aggression, can drive success in litigation. She’s known for cutting through the noise and staying focused on what matters; strategy, which is what will achieve the best outcome for her clients in the end.
Describing herself as a “lover who can fight,” Jess brings both empathy and tenacity to her work. She began her legal career in Brisbane in 2022 and was admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland as a lawyer in July 2024. For Jess, that moment enabled her to finally “get in the trenches with those who really need it.” Her approach is simple: show up with grit and fight smart.
Jess thrives on helping clients navigate disputes in all shapes and sizes, with a particular interest in defamation, building and construction and insolvency disputes.
In July 2025, Jess returned to her hometown of Mackay and joined Wallace & Wallace Lawyers. Outside of work, you will likely find Jess appreciating her hometown by enjoying any adventure that means getting outdoors in the sun, or spending time with family.
