Jennifer joined the Gene C. Colman Family Law Centre in 2016. She advises clients on all aspects of family law including custody/access, child and spousal support, property, child protection and domestic contracts.

Jennifer is also an accredited Collaborative Family Law lawyer. Although she is a strong litigator, in her Collaborative practice, her goal is to achieve collaborative settlements through negotiation and alternative dispute resolution. Through this process, Jennifer is passionate about helping her clients settle outside of court by finding agreements that meet their needs and interests. In February 2023, Jenny was elected to the Board of Collaborative Divorce Toronto.

Prior to joining the Gene C. Colman Family Law Centre, Jennifer worked as a legal consultant at the Toronto office of a global firm, articled for the Ministry of the Attorney General, and was a summer law student at a boutique entertainment law firm.

Jennifer holds a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School, a Bachelor of Management and Organizational Studies (specialization in Cultural Studies) from Western University and an Associates Degree in Applied Design from New School University’s Parsons School of Design in New York City.

Outside of her law practice, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family. Her hobbies include hiking, softball and travelling.
