Jennifer Thornton

After earning her law degree, Jennifer was honored by the opportunity to spend two years as a judicial law clerk, first for Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Catherine “Kitty” Kimball and then for federal District Court Judge Carl J. Barbier. After completing her clerkships, which gave her valuable insight into the inner workings of the state and federal courts and sharpened her legal research and writing skills, she spent many years handling complex business disputes, appellate work, and a variety of litigation matters for a wide range of clients.

The most personally rewarding work for Jennifer, however, was always the personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases she handled as co-counsel. These cases made a real difference in injured people’s lives and led her to shift her focus to these areas of law.

Outside the office, Jennifer enjoys life in New Orleans with her husband, where she spends time restoring their historic home, gardening, and caring for their family of rescue pets.

With a reputation for being both compassionate and tough, Jennifer is deeply committed to fighting for justice on behalf of her clients. She works hard to ensure her clients feel heard, involved, and supported throughout their cases, providing honest guidance and practical advice.

Her work is more than just a career—it’s a calling to make a positive impact on those who need it most.
