Jennifer has been helping clients navigate their legal difficulties since 1998.

While she relies on litigations skills developed in arbitrations and trials to fight for her clients, she also recognizes the importance of assisting clients in finding practical and workable solutions when possible.

In recent years, Jennifer has handled numerous cases touching on the enforceability of mortgages, the relative priority of liens against real estate, the validity of real estate conveyances, adverse possession, post-foreclosure issues, condominium lien and mortgage issues, title insurance coverage, and other related issues.

Jennifer works in partnership with her clients to provide thoughtful strategies and legal advice that is tailored to meet the goals and expectations of each individual client.

Jennifer and her husband, Shawn, have three children. When Jennifer is not working or parenting, she enjoys yoga and walking with friends, volunteering with the youth group at her church and hanging out with her dogs.
