Attorney Information

Overview

Jenna L. Heavner isn’t just a lawyer — she’s a powerful advocate, a trusted guide, and a deeply compassionate presence during life’s most pivotal transitions. As a partner at Hollingsworth Law Group, Jenna brings not only a wealth of experience and expertise but also a deep well of empathy, creativity, and calm strength. Whether navigating a high-asset divorce, negotiating complex custody matters, or crafting a thoughtful estate plan, Jenna is a steady hand and a fierce protector of what matters most.

Jenna is a Certified Family Law Specialist by the Family Law Certification Board— a distinction that reflects her elite level of knowledge, skill, and commitment to excellence in the field. She is also a top-rated Super Lawyer, a seasoned family law mediator, and a trained collaborative divorce professional. Additionally, Jenna is a dedicated parent coordinator (“PC”) and serves as a court-appointed guardian ad litem (“GAL”). With her vast experience helping families through life’s transitions, she is an incredible asset to our clients. And, although she deeply believes in resolving conflict with dignity, clarity, and heart whenever possible, Jenna is an experienced trial lawyer, ready to fight for her clients in court when necessary.

With over a decade of experience, Jenna’s practice spans the full spectrum of family law — from contested and uncontested divorces, custody, parenting time, and child support issues to guardianships, protective orders, adoptions, military divorces, and prenuptial/postnuptial agreements. She’s also highly skilled and experienced in assisting clients with trusts and estate planning issues. Jenna is available to assist our family law clients by modifying wills and examining estate planning strategies as they begin their new lives after divorce; and she brings all clients peace of mind concerning their legacy and loved ones.

Jenna is the very first attorney to be invited into partnership at Hollingsworth Law Group — a decision rooted not only in her legal excellence but in her extraordinary character. Her integrity, intellect, and deep compassion have been admired by founding partner, Kena Hollingsworth, for years. Jenna’s decision to join the firm as a partner is seen as an incredible gift — to the HLG team, and most importantly, to the clients the firm is honored to serve.

In every case, Jenna’s approach is strategic yet human-centered. She’s earned a reputation for being both exceptionally prepared and deeply present — a rare combination that leaves clients feeling heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Originally from a small farming community in southern Indiana, Jenna has called Indianapolis home since law school. She’s married to a local firefighter, and together they are raising four amazing kids. That blend of real-life perspective, legal brilliance, and unwavering heart is exactly what makes Jenna such a perfect fit at HLG — and such a remarkable advocate for the clients we serve.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
