When she’s not working, Jennifer also enjoys travelling and playing competitive tennis at the Masters level. Her other athletic pursuits include running and golf, and she admits to being a huge fan of the Ottawa Senators. But pursuing the best results for her clients are where her real passions lie.

“I’ve deliberately created a law practice that keeps me close to my clients, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” says Jennifer. “Helping seniors navigate the legal system is a particular area of interest, but I love meeting new people of all ages and backgrounds and getting to know them.

“Our legal needs change as our lives change, and I am proud to say I have many long-time clients whom I have worked with through many life-changing events. No matter how big or small, these changes can be both incredibly important and stressful to the individual.

“Legal transactions like real estate sales and estate administration can be very complex. I like being able to reduce that burden on my clients. By taking care of all those details, I work to make the process as stress-free as possible and ensure my clients have the information they need to make sound decisions.

“We all have things that we worry about. Making sure our legal rights are protected shouldn’t be one of them.”
