Jennifer’s diligence and attention to detail make her a standout for both clients and the litigation team.
As a team lead, Jennifer works on mass toxic tort and premises liability cases involving asbestos exposure claims nationwide, primarily representing oil refineries and oil producers. Her meticulous work throughout a case is what both clients and other attorneys appreciate about working with Jennifer.
She develops defense strategies, completes discovery and fact investigations, manages responsive pleadings, deposes fact witnesses, drafts dispositive motions and prepares cases for trial. Jennifer also helps clients set realistic goals as she negotiates with plaintiff’s counsel to arrive at a fair value settlement or takes the case to trial.
Alongside her toxic tort work, Jennifer also handles product liability matters where she drafts pleadings, reviews documents and conducts research. She openly communicates with clients and enjoys knowing that her contributions to the litigation team make a significant impact on the outcome.
In addition, Jennifer also assists clients with environmental matters. Prior to joining the firm, Jennifer interned at the U.S. EPA in the Office of Air and Radiation and at the Missouri Attorney General’s Office in the Agriculture and Environment Division. At the Attorney General’s Office, she researched and drafted memoranda on environmental issues such as the Missouri Clean Air Act and was frequently involved in administrative hearings. Jennifer also served in a similar role in the Key West State Attorney’s Office, where her research work included artificial reef building.
