Jennifer Cates Lester

     I was raised in Gainesville and grew up here.  I attended the University of Florida both for my undergraduate education and for law school.  I went to Tallahassee to work for a large firm my first two years out of law school, but couldn't wait to return to my roots in Gainesville. 

     Since returning, I have represented individuals, trusts, estates and corporations involved in civil litigation throughout North Central Florida.  I have tried cases from Jacksonville down to Bushnell, and love practicing law in North Central Florida.  I believe I have a good rapport with judges, court staff and other attorneys in this area, and this enhances my ability to get the best result for my clients. 

     I feel that I am particularly able to understand the needs of my clients who have become involved in litigation, and to navigate them though it efficiently and successfully.
