JENNIFER LEE BARRINGER, ESQ. 

Jennifer is most well known as the attorney who defended celebrated music producer Phil Spector during both of his recent murder trials.  She was the only attorney from the original team who was requested to return by Mr. Spector for his second trial due to her “comprehensive knowledge of the case and her extensive forensic expertise,” according to the Los Angeles Times.  Jennifer’s other high profile cases include the “New Jersey Turnpike Shooting Cases” with Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld, Johnnie Cochran and Linda Kenney-Baden and former New Jersey Nets basketball star Jayson Williams.  Most recently, Jennifer worked as both a full member and trial consultant with the Casey Anthony defense team and is also a regular commentator and legal analyst on Tru TV, Fox News, HLN, CBS and CNN.

Jennifer is often sought after for high profile murder and rape cases due to her specialty in forensics which she honed while working on the Innocence Project and by participating in numerous cases with some of the most respected forensic experts in the world, including Dr. Michael Baden, Dr. Henry Lee, Dr. Cyril Wecht, Dr. Werner Spitz, Jim Pex and Stuart James among many others.  She is well versed in all areas of criminology, pathology, blood spatter pattern analysis, DNA interpretation and toxicology.

Before becoming an attorney, Jennifer spent 3 years in Germany working as a news anchor for Deutsche Welle and the BBC.  During that time, she originated numerous shows, performed interviews and was the only female anchor of the nightly news.

Jennifer received her B.A. from Rutgers University in Journalism and History and her juris doctorate from Cardozo Law School in N.Y.C..  She is a member of SAG and AFTRA and is admitted to practice law in the state of New Jersey.
