Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Jennifer is an amazingly smart yet down to Earth attorney. She has the ability to zealously advocate for her clients while still maintain a professional relationship with the opposing attorney, which benefits her clients tremendously. I have referred her clients that were not a good fit for our firm, and I've relied on her expertise and advice on other cases where I needed to brainstorm ideas. I highly recommend Jennifer.
