⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for Jenn Peters

I cannot say enough great things about Jenn Peters and the incredible work she did on my case. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome. She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed throughout th...e entire process, and made sure I understood my options every step of the way. Jenn is not only highly skilled and experienced, but she genuinely cares about her clients. She approached my case with confidence and determination, and her hard work ultimately led to a successful outcome. Knowing I had someone so dedicated and detail-oriented representing me gave me tremendous peace of mind during a very stressful time. If you are looking for an attorney who is responsive, compassionate, and truly fights for her clients, I highly recommend Jenn Peters. She exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for her representation. — Erick Masaua

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...rs took my case. She managed to show empathy even though she couldn’t have possibly known how I felt or what I was going through. She was very sympathetic to my plight. She was available day and night as well as weekends. She showed interest and concern for my life out of trial as well. Given that I was in school at the time, she made sure to plead with the judge to not schedule my court appearances during class. Her first objective was to obtain digital forensics. This is something that my previous attorney failed to do in the more than four months that they were assigned to me. I was actually surprised that she was able to review all the data in a short amount of time. Ms. peters scheduled my appointment and reviewed everything within a matter of weeks. She was also great with my family and friends even though there was a language barrier. She made sure to remind me of my court dates so I wouldn’t forget. She’s a genuine and direct defender. I realized she’s a very knowledgeable attorney from our conversations. It was a breathe of fresh air to be represented by someone as professional as she is. Ms. Peters’ only failure was not being assigned to me from the beginning. There is a good chance I’d be another statistic in our criminal justice if it wasn’t for Ms. Peters. I would recommend Ms. Peters for anyone in my family or group of friends if the situation ever arises.
