About Jenna Alexander, Litigation Attorney
Jenna Alexander pursued a career in family law because of her desire to help people.

“I am always polite and professional, but simultaneously, my clients’ best interests are always clearly represented and advocated for,” she says. “Divorce is potentially time-consuming and definitely stressful, but in my hands, I will do everything in my power to make it as efficient and smooth as possible, while also ensuring that my clients receive everything they are entitled to from the process.”
