"Jen is - without question - the best lawyer I have worked with. As a trans person, on multiple occasions I have successfully self-represented in court regarding employment discrimination. The most recent scenario was more complex, so I sought Jen’s services. She was incredibly adept at navigating the legal nuances and negotiated a positive outcome. Five stars."
