I was born and raised in Bear Lake, Michigan. I received my undergraduate degree from Michigan State University in 1999, and received my law degree from Wayne State University in began my legal career as a staff attorney with Legal Services of South Central Michigan, focusing my work on representing victims of domestic violence. In 2005, I moved to Grand Rapids and worked for a small divorce firm, representing primarily women. I am a founding member of Velzen, Johnsen & Wikander, a boutique law firm opened in August 2006. I am focused on protecting my client's interests and pursuing a favorable outcome, while also helping them through the emotional aspects of their divorce or other family law dispute. I am honest, compassionate, caring and loyal, traits that are extremley important for a family law practitioner. In my spare time, I enjoy music, traveling up north to visit family and spending time with my husband and children.

Review for Jennifer Johnsen
My divorce and subsequent custody situation have been very painful and difficult experiences in my life. Even though I had moved to the other side of the state when I separated from my husband, I still chose to file my case in Ottawa County, just so I could have Jennifer Johnsen as my attorney. Ov...
"Jennifer is a top notch attorney who truly cares about her clients. She knows how to get results and she knows how to get her clients through difficult times."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer Johnson and her partners Randy Velzen and Erica Wikander are the attorneys to whom I refer all clients who need assistance with divorce or family law. I trust no attorneys more. All of them care deeply about each one of their clients and fight hard to achieve just results. They are simply the best in Western Michigan."
