Get to Know Jennifer

What drew you to family law?

I love practicing family law. I have a deep passion for helping clients move forward and begin the next chapter of their lives. Having gone through a divorce myself, I understand firsthand how overwhelming the process can be. My goal is to bring clarity, compassion, and a sense of calm by simplifying what often feels impossible. It is a privilege to represent family law clients, and I feel incredibly lucky to do this work.

What do you wish people knew about going through a divorce or custody case?

It gets better. While the process can feel exhausting and emotionally heavy, it truly is a new beginning. In time people find themselves stepping into a brighter tomorrow.

How do you spend your time outside the office?

I am a bit obsessive about my work, both in and out of the office. That said, I value time with my family and enjoy traveling.

What’s one thing that always makes your day better at work?

Perspective. Family law clients are understandably emotional and stressed, and I remind myself not to take concerns personally. I see my role as an advocate, a guide, and a tool to help clients navigate one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting the legal process, what would it be?

Stay calm and do your best to be strategically nice to the opposing party. Early resolution is almost always better—emotionally, and financially. Prolonged litigation should be the exception, not the rule.

What’s something that might surprise people about you?

Probably not much. I’m a total nerd who is obsessed with my work, my clients, my team, and building a strong, successful firm.
