After practicing in Virginia and Georgia for several years, Jennifer came home to Franklin in 1999 and joined her Father’s firm.  Jennifer’s father, Tom Jones, practiced law for over forty years in Franklin and was a leading and trial lawyer dedicated to protecting the rights of people.  Jennifer and her father joined forces for the defense in State of Indiana vs. Judy Kirby, a five week murder trial.  Tom Jones tried his last jury trial with Jennifer where they won a $225,000 verdict against a major department after loss prevention officers from the store chased and tackled their client after accusing her of stealing a tie.
