“Having worked closely with several appellate and trial judges as a staff attorney, I have an additional way of perceiving a claim…from a judge’s perspective. I am acutely aware of what the judge is looking for and how they will most likely evaluate a case. This can be an advantage as in court as every detail matters!”.

Jennifer’s extensive experience—both inside the courtroom and behind the scenes—has allowed her to provide a well-rounded approach to personal injury cases which makes her stand out amongst other attorneys. Jennifer’s extensive experience of working directly with judges gives her the added perception of evaluating a case from a judge’s point of view. Jennifer is especially skilled in predicting the arguments from the other side. This allows her to get ahead of them, guiding them as she protects her clients and their interests. Her early years as a staff attorney has bestowed her with an impressive knowledge of case law and statutes, allowing Jennifer to identify issues quickly and meticulously.
