Hear from Jennifer
“I chose to go into litigation and civil matters because, in contrast to other areas of the law, the concepts and stories behind litigation cases are always interesting.
“I love hearing clients’ stories and getting to them know them and their situation, including how it came about and who else is involved.
“Those occasions when you can obtain a good outcome for someone who has been in a very stressful situation are incredibly rewarding.”
