Jessica Ticktin was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada where she lived before moving to the Abacos in the Bahamas with her family. Although she spent the early years of her life abroad, Ms. Ticktin lived in the State of Florida since she was six years old and considers Florida to be her home.

Ms. Ticktin attended Florida State University from which she graduated in 2001 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Criminology. While in college, she was involved in the law fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta, and worked for a local law firm. Her summers were spent working at her father's law firm in Boca Raton. Following college, she attended Stetson University College of Law from which she graduated in 2003.

While in law school, Ms. Ticktin had the opportunity to gain legal experience through a judicial internship in the circuit civil court where she was given the invaluable opportunity of learning the legal system from the inside out. After graduating from law school, she started her career as an associate attorney with her father's law firm which focused mainly on civil litigation matters, including personal injury, contract, corporate, and family law cases.

In early 2005, after handling a variety of cases, she began to focus her efforts solely on family law matters and worked as an associate for a law firm that exclusively handled family law cases. After several years, she became a partner to a prestigious family law attorney in North Palm Beach.

In addition, Ms. Ticktin served as a co-chair on a committee for the South Palm Beach County Bar Association, and is currently a member of the Family Law Section of The Florida Bar, the Palm Beach County Bar Association, and the South Palm Beach County Bar Association, among other committees within each association.

In June of 2009, Ms. Ticktin was offered and proudly accepted the position of managing partner of The Ticktin Law Group. She brings a variety of experiences to the firm and joins a select group of dedicated and aggressive advocates for our clients, while working with dedication to accomplish the missions of the firm.
