Jen's Bio

Jen's Story

Jen was born and raised in small-town Elizabethtown, North Carolina. She comes from a family of lawyers, and began working in her father’s law firm at a young age. After prioritizing raising her family in the early years of her adulthood, Jen re-entered the workforce and served as administrator of a retirement community for several years. In that role, she was the face of that community in dealing with residents, staff members, and loved ones of their residents.
 
She returned to her passion for the law in 2017, joining The Anderson Law Firm as a paralegal. Jen has worked at ALF since that time, and has been promoted to lead paralegal and practice administrator. She supports the attorneys at The Anderson Law Firm in trust and estate litigation matters, probate matters, and estate-planning.
 
Jen is a problem-solver. She brings real-world experience and insights into clients’ matters. While working in a busy law firm handling high-conflict family-related litigation, she has been the primary channel of communication for the firm with clients, opposing counsel, the courts, and unrepresented opposing parties. She has supported lawyers at the firm in countless mediations, and brings her real-life skills and sensibilities to helping craft creative solutions to resolve conflicts.
 
Jen received her undergraduate degree in professional education from Austin Peay State University in 2010, and her paralegal certificate from Duke University in 2014. She lives in Union County with her husband and two children, and actively practices in martial arts when she is not fighting for ALF’s clients.
