About Jennifer
Biography
I want to make the difficult time in my client's life as comfortable as possible. My practice is primarily focused on bankruptcy law. I started my own firm to give the client's personal service they deserve.
I went into bankruptcy law because everyone deserves a second chance to get their life on track. Bankruptcy is a great fit for me because there is a lot of interaction between the attorney and the client.
I graduated law school from Oklahoma City University in the top 25% of my glass. I received my undergraduate degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Texas at Arlington, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

I contacted this attorney about a contract dispute. She answered all my questions and advised me on the best way to proceed. She quickly settled my dispute without having to go to Court.
