What to expect
Plain answers and clear costs
You’ll know what’s happening, and what it costs.
A lot of people are nervous the first time they call a law office. Nobody here wants that. You’ll be met by someone who explains what the documents do, tells you what the work costs, and knows the Washoe County courts.
It works the same way whether you are planning ahead or settling things after a loss, and whether the house is in Reno or on the California side of the line.
You’ll know the cost before we start.
Estate plans are quoted as a single flat fee at the consultation. For probate and real estate, you’ll know how the work is priced and how payment works before it begins.
Northern Nevada, born and raised.
Jenny was born and raised in Northern Nevada, went to Galena High School and the University of Nevada, Reno, and came home to practice in 2018. Probate here runs through the Second Judicial District Court in Reno.

Client reviews
Jenny was the most knowledgeable, kindest and considerate attorney we’ve ever worked with. She’s no shrinking violet, either. She knows her field and does not tolerate nonsense. I highly recommend her.
Jennifer went above and beyond for me when dealing with my mother-in-laws probate case, she gave her extra time and services without question, making me feel at ease in a very confusing an frustrating situation. I highly recommend her services!
Jenny is a top notch attorney. She handled some updates to my trust for my wife and I, there are few estate attorneys in Reno with a better moral compass and work ethic. I highly recommend her for all your estate needs.
Jenny’s work ethic, passion, and legal expertise are not something that go unnoticed. I am so grateful to have her support and to know that even on a late Friday evening that she is always here to help me. She truly cares and it is something you feel as one of her clients.
