About Jennifer

As a management side employment attorney, I represent mostly small to mid-sized businesses.  My goal is to use proactive measures, such as employee handbooks, policies, training and human resources "best practices" to keep my clients compliant with the law and avoid employment claims.  If and when claims do arise, I represent my clients in administrative agencies (unemployment, workers' comp, EEOC, etc.) as well as litigate matters in state and federal courts.

 

I am a Certified Specialist in Labor & Employment Law, and a partner with Petronzio Schneier Co., LPA.  Together with my business law colleagues we offer businesses comprehensive legal services for all their business needs.

Practice areas

Employment and labor
  1. Employment and labor: 100%

    Management side representation of labor and employment matters. Includes EEOC claims, workers' compensation, unemployment claims, internal harassment or discrimination claims, wrongful termination, employee handbooks, and supervisor training.

Review Jennifer Corso

Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and to the point.

Posted by MattThu Jan 19 2017

Jennifer reviewed our companies policies and helped us create a new employee manual, employee agreements, and processes for new hires and terminations. Every time we have a question she is there to answer the phone or email, put us at ease, and do what is best for both us and the employee. You cannot put a price on "peace of mind" and that is what we have thanks to her. If you are small business you do not know what you do not know. Those things can and will eventually hurt you. Jennifer knows!!!

Great Expertise

Posted by SallySat Jan 14 2017

I have heard Jennifer Corso speak several times, and I learn something new each time. Jennifer speaks with great authority on the subject of labor and employment law, and as a business owner, I appreciate her expertise. I wouldn’t hesitate to call Jennifer when addressing those business issues, and I have great confidence in recommending Jennifer to others. It’s reassuring to have a colleague like Jennifer.

I endorse this lawyer. She represents management and I represent employees but I find her very competent and reasonable with quite practical ways of solving problems. She is not, however, hesitant to litigate to the fullest when the circumstances warrant.

Jennifer is an extremely knowledgeable employment attorney. Even more importantly, she is very solution focused. While I work with her, I have also referred clients to her. All of my clients have been very pleased with her services. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone even considering an employment attorney.
