As a student attorney, she represented parents whose children had been removed by social services. She also volunteered as a guardian ad litem in child protection cases in Hennepin County.
Jennifer clerked in a family law firm. She graduated early and sat for the Bar exam in February 2016. She was promoted to Associate Attorney, continued in parental defense, expanding into family law.
Jennifer formed JLT Law in January 2017. She gained litigation experience rapidly and successfully settled divorce, custody, and child support matters whenever possible.

"Jennifer came to me from a family recommendation. I wasn't sure what to expect and was surprised and happy with how carefully she explained the process and outlined what steps we would be taking. She was incredibly thorough, detailed and because of this my divorce came through in less than 48 hours after filing!"

"I was very pleased with how simple and prompt all my conversation where with Jennifer. They started with a few emails of background leading to an efficient phone call that we brainstormed a solid plan of action. From there I was lucky enough to be on a path of resolution. Prior to meeting Jennifer I consulted with a previous attourney that suggested my situation was not pursuable at this time. Jennifer's knowledge and background is what made the difference for me with a successful outcome."

"I first met attorney Jennifer Thompson when she was working out of the Meeker County Attorneys office as a prosecutor. ... That case was successfully prosecuted by Jennifer which concluded with both biological parents rights being terminated and positioned me to successfully, swiftly, and seamlessly navigate through the adoption process for (my daughter). A short time later, Jennifer started her own private practice. Once I became aware of that I immediately hired her to file a private (TPR) Termination of Parental rights case involving my biological child with the same mother. Again, Jennifer's skills and abilities were on display and resulted in a successful conclusion at the District Court, and the mothers rights were terminated. That case has now moved to the Appellate Court, and I just received Jennifer's responsive brief to the Appeal. In short, her attention to detail, technical skills, and remarkable understanding of the (TPR) process, statutes, and supportive case law are outstanding. Her ability to articulate and translate them into a firm foundational argument are impressive. I have complete confidence in Jennifer, and that she will prevail at the Appellate level as well. I highly recommend Jennifer Thompson to anyone who is attempting to do what is in the best interest of a child."
