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 misdemeanor cases, ranging from petit larcenies and assaults, to DWIs and sex offense cases. In her most recent trial, Jenn and her co-counsel were able to get a First-Degree Robbery indictment dismissed in the middle of the trial.
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 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."
"So blessed to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing attorney. Bright, fierce and phenomenal."
