Professional & Community Involvement
When she is away from work, Jenny enjoys spending time with her family and close friends, doting on her cats, and making her way through an ambitious reading list that seems to grow faster than she can finish it.
Jenny’s approach to family law is shaped by more than professional training and years of courtroom experience. It’s also shaped by a deeply personal understanding of the issues that bring families into court in the first place. Her life experience with marriage, separation, divorce, blended family relationships, co-parenting, custody modifications, and adoption gives her a perspective that is compassionate, practical, and profoundly informed.
As a family court attorney, Guardian ad Litem, mediator, child custody litigation consultant, and private litigation client coach, Jenny understands that families in transition need more than technical legal knowledge. They need wisdom, strategy, perspective, and someone who understands how high the stakes can feel when children, identity, finances, and their brighter future are all on the line. She brings that understanding to the forefront in every case she handles.
