Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
While in law school, Jennifer served as President of the SMU Student Bar Association. That tradition of leadership continued when Jennifer became involved in the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (DAYL) when she began practicing in 2010, and in 2018, she served as the President of DAYL. Inspired by the Good, Better, Best poem she learned from her grandmother growing up, Jennifer focused on making young lawyers the â€œgood, better, bestâ€ they can be, establishing the Second Chair Program, which gave an opportunity for young civil lawyers to sit second chair with seasoned criminal defense lawyers at trial, and developing the Continuing the Conversation Interview Series, which focused on keeping women lawyers in the pipeline to become equity partners and to obtain judicial positions. In 2020, Jennifer served as VP Awards Reception for the Dallas Women Lawyers Association (DWLA) and pivoted to change the format of the event from the traditional in-person gathering to a high-quality virtual production. She currently serves as VP Programming for DWLA and is working to bring more relevant and dynamic programming to DWLAâ€™s members this year.
