Contracts are my specialty. I'm passionate about creating contracts that are very understandable and when a client is presented with a complicated contract, I'm able to help the client understand what the contract actually means. I am also very experienced in setting up contract tracking and record retention systems for businesses.

Great Legal Advice for Small Businesses

Jenn has a laid back, easy-to-understand way of explaining potentially complex legal concepts, and when she answers your questions she makes you feel heard, understood, and like the smart person you are! For my small business, I asked her to review the forms I use when new clients / students agree to... work with me. During this process, she asked thoughtful questions that made me realize I needed some additional policies and processes, and worked with me so that what I came up with wasn't going to be overkill. I highly recommend Jenn for any of your legal needs, especially if you are a small business looking to get started.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
