In 2020 and 2019, Jennifer was recognized on Crain’s list of “Notable Women in Law – New York” for her distinguished legal career and contributions to civic and philanthropic activities impacting New York City. Deeply committed to pro bono work, Jennifer was recognized in 2015 as one of the “Top 25 Pro Bono Advocates” by Legal Services of New York City for her work representing a disabled veteran and his family in connection with an eviction proceeding.
