Jess Lill
Managing Attorney, The Manely Firm, P.C. Savannah Office
Jess Lill is an attorney with The Manely Firm, P.C. in Savannah, Georgia. Jess attended law school at Mercer University School of Law. There, Jess became a member of the law review and mock trial teams, as well as working closely with faculty to write and publish various academic works. While in law school, Jess worked with various organizations and law firms to hone her legal research and advocacy skills. She was fortunate enough to start trying her first cases within her second year of law school, and hasn't left the courtroom since. Jess graduated law school and decided to move to Savannah, where she has been working ever since.
Jess has been with The Manely Firm, P.C. since 2017, having previously held positions as a Client Care Coordinator and Law Clerk. As a Law Clerk, her research and drafting of documents made her an integral part of the firm's appellate successes! Now, as an attorney, Jess has had multiple successes in both the courtroom and the mediation room. Experienced in crafting complex legal strategies to ensure client's goals are realized, Jess starts every case by listening. She works collaboratively with her trial team and clients to not only identify those goals, create the best circumstances to reach them, but most importantly: tell her client's story to the judge. Attorney Jess Lill seeks to help resolve her clients' family law problems fairly, compassionately, and quickly.
Jess is active in her community and volunteers regularly as a hospital advocate for Coastal Empire's Rape Crisis Center and Georgia State Bar's High School Mock Trial Competition. She was also proudly named the "Most Domestic Cases Settled in 2019" by the Mediation Center of the Coastal Empire. In her spare time, Jess prefers tending her peach tree, reading, yoga, and exploring historic Savannah.
