Attorney Information
Overview
Jenny has had the privilege of providing representation for individuals and government entities since 1985. She began her career in general practice as a partner in a small Texas law firm focusing on criminal defense and family law matters. She later transitioned to work as a major felony prosecutor and was the director of a drug task force. While practicing in Texas, Jenny developed one of the first legal aid clinics staffed by volunteer attorneys, which received statewide recognition. Upon moving to Indiana, she returned to assisting diverse clients in family law representation, as well as probate and estate work.
After practicing in Michigan, she served as a Commissioner for the Marion County Circuit Court, where she exclusively worked in the Court’s paternity division. Following her departure from the bench, she now provides assistance to individuals navigating divorces, custody and parenting time matters, child support issues, and guardianships with Deenik Lowe. Jenny’s work is through direct representation in the courtroom, as well as a guardian ad litem, mediator, and collaborative law practitioner. Representing a wide array of people over her many years in practice has taught her that each case is as unique as the people involved and deserves specific attention. Her practice takes her to all of the counties surrounding Marion County, and to some further away.
Jenny and her husband enjoy biking Indiana’s trails and visiting their adult children in Maine and Oregon. A strong proponent of civic engagement and democracy, Jenny can be found every Election Day working at the polls and also as a judge for the Indiana Bar Association’s We The People program. As an avid backyard birder and naturalist, Jenny serves on the Board of the Indiana Audubon Society, and is always happy to help others discover the wonders of Indiana’s natural beauty. When she is not outside, she enjoys trying new recipes, attending all types of theater events, or simply falling into a good book.

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.
