About Jennifer
Biography
My goal is to provide compassionate advice to my clients who are going through a difficult time. I am licensed in Nevada and Washington state (inactive). I began my career by completing a rigorous clerkship where I worked on a multitude of cases in various areas of law. Currently, I'm continuing my work in public interest law with a local legal non-profit organization. I believe it is important to remain active in the profession and contribute to the community. To that end, I am involved in numerous bar associations and have volunteered for several non-profits Seattle and Reno. In my spare time, I enjoy cheering on the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the Nevada Wolf Pack.

Jennifer M Richards's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I recently met Ms. Richards and was impressed with her as an attorney and a person. She is a young and hardworking attorney that will beat most with her preparation. She is an up and comer in the legal profession. In a short time she will be discovered by the rich and affluent and they will spend their money on her top talent. If someone asked me my opinion, I would say hire her now or regret that you could have hired her on your case. It is nice to find a young lawyer with her desire and smarts."
