About Jennifer
Biography
Put simply, my job is to protect you from potential risk; from those who would otherwise take advantage of your legal rights; and to make sure your family has what they need to be taken care of, should anything ever happen to you. My interest in the law started with my own landlord failing to make repairs. I went without an AC unit for three weeks in the middle of August in Texas, and it was upwards of 116 degrees inside of my apartment. An attorney helped me back then, and my A/C was replaced the same day I delivered her letter to my landlord. From that point on I have been passionate about fighting for the rights of other people like me.
You work hard to provide for yourself and your family, and it’s important to know that you can protect the life you have created, both by defending it now, and planning for your estate after you pass away. I sincerely want to help you navigate all of life’s events, whether they were foreseen, or are a complete surprise.
I am an estate and business planning attorney, as well as a civil litigator. I dedicate all of my attention to ensuring that:
1) your goals are realized, whether they are personal, family or business related;
2) your risk and expenses are minimized;
3) your access to legal help is convenient, leveraging technology to make meeting easier; and
4) you have peace of mind.
All of my clients receive personal attention, 24/7 access to case information and updates, clear communication, and timely assistance. While case outcomes cannot be predetermined by any attorney, all of my clients will attest to their complete satisfaction with my legal services, and excellent work-product for estate planning. The thing I hear most often is that my clients appreciate that I truly listen, and am a source of positive motivation to help them take the next step in achieving their current and future goals.

Very knowledgeable and helpful

Great, Honest Attorney
I called Jennifer’s office on a Wednesday morning to schedule a consultation, had the consultation Thursday morning, and got our landlord to release us from our lease by Thursday afternoon- all thanks to Jennifer’s terrific advice.
