| Most Significant Legal Cases to Date |
| Although Jennifer has handled numerous high profile capital cases including murder and drug trafficking, her most memorable case was the case involving a single mum who was charged with shoplifting. |
| The single mother dropped out of school in Secondary 2 and within a year she had become a chain smoker and a hardcore drug addict. By her late teens, she was also a nightclub singer. |
| At her 3rd visit to the DRC, she decided to sit for her N levels examinations and scored five A1s. In total, she was sent to the DRC on no less than 4 occasions. |
| Two years after her last release from the DRC, she gave birth to a baby girl. When the baby was about a month old, the single mother stole baby clothes for her baby and was arrested for shoplifting. |
| Despite the single mother's background of running afoul of the law over the last 15 years of her life, Jennifer managed to convince the Attorney-General's Chambers to reduce the charge to one of simple theft and also managed to convince the Court that the single mother deserved a final chance. The single mother was fined $1000.00. Jennifer's satisfaction was the difference she made in this unfortunate woman's life. |
