In the early 1990's, as a single mother, Jenn enrolled at Centralia Community College, then briefly transferred to Yakima Community College, before ultimately receiving her Associates of Arts Degree from Centralia.

In her work as an intern she served as a public defender in the cities of Kent, Kenmore, North Bend, Sammamish and Lakewood. During this period, and prior to taking the bar exam, Jenn won four of five criminal jury trials.. After successfully completing the Rule Six Program, Jenn took the August 2006 bar exam, passing on her first attempt, and was admitted as an attorney by the Washington State Bar in early 2007. As an attorney she has continued to develop a reputation as a tenacious and aggressive advocate on behalf of each of her clients. Within the firm Jenn is recognized as both shrewd litigator, for her ingenuity in developing unique legal arguments, and a fearless trial attorney, for her willingness to try the difficult cases to a jury. For Jenn, each client's situation is personal and she works hard to ensure the very best outcome in each of their cases.. Since becoming an attorney, Jenn has added the cities of Milton, Seatac and Kirkland to the jurisdictions in which she has worked as a public defender.

Ken Harmell offers more than twenty years of legal experience, with a practice that emphasizes defending those who have been charged with the most serious offenses including murder, vehicular assault and homicide, rape, child molestation and domestic violence. Ken is known for his ability to develop complex legal arguments and defenses..

Ken does not simply challenge the evidence, he challenges the law. He is an aggressive courtroom advocate who views plea bargains as the last option and not the first. Ken's philosophy is that the only way to obtain the best possible outcome for each client is to be recognized by the prosecution as a credible threat to take each and every case to trial.
