Jenn Peters is an Associate Attorney with the Law Offices of Julie Rendelman.
Prior to joining the Law Offices of Julie Rendelman, Jenn worked for the Legal Aid Society in Manhattan as an attorney for the indigent, where she handled countless cases, ranging from larcenies and assaults, to DWIs and sex offense cases. In her last trial at the Legal Aid Society, Jenn and her co-counsel were able to get a First-Degree Robbery indictment dismissed in the middle of the trial.
Since joining the Law Offices of Julie Rendelman, Jenn has handled countless serious felonies, including sex offenses, drug offenses, and violent crimes.
During law school at Chicago-Kent College of Law, Jenn worked as a law clerk for a criminal appeals and post-conviction law firm, where she wrote appellate briefs and post-conviction petitions for various murder cases. While in law school, Jenn also won Best Oral Advocate at the Domenick L. Gabrielli Appellate Advocacy Competition. She graduated cum laude with five CALI awards.
Jenn received her BA in Legal Studies from the University of Waterloo. There, she won the Reginald A. Haney award for the student in the Legal Studies program with the highest academic standing. She was then awarded her Master’s Degree in Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies from the University of Toronto. Jenn went on to conduct ethnographic research on the police harassment and prosecution of outlaw motorcycle clubs in Canada, before ultimately pursuing her dream since childhood to become a criminal defense attorney.
Jenn is originally from Canada, and is fluent in French. She was a competitive figure skater for 15 years before becoming a lawyer. Her background as a high-level performer has made her fearless in the courtroom, and has instilled in her a competitive edge and desire to win, which she has carried over from the rink to her clients’ cases.

The rare public defender
I came to know Ms. Peters when she was assigned to me as a public defender. Prior to Ms. Peters taking my case, I was assigned someone that was ineffectual and soon realized my current attorney was neglectful with evidence and keeping lines of communication open. This all came to an end when Ms. Pete...
"Jenn Peters is a cut above the rest. I have worked with her on cases as her opposing counsel and witnessed her skills in court from the audience on many occasions. She is highly talented and tenacious. I have seen her handle extraordinarily difficult cases with poise and the skill of one who has developed a mastery of her profession. Anyone in need of a top tier criminal defense attorney would be well served by hiring her. To put it simply, she is one of the best operating in NYC today."
"Jenn is an excellent attorney. She is a fierce advocate for her clients while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. She has an incredible mind for criminal defense, and her attention to detail is unmatched. I endorse Jenn Peters."
