Jenn Hawkins, also known as Jenny, is one of our paralegals at WH Law. Originally from the Southside of Chicago, Jenn’s journey has taken her from the bustling city streets to the quiet town of Eureka, Illinois, and back home to Conway, AR.
As a child, Jenn wanted to grow up to be an archaeologist like Indiana Jones (she still loves watching the History Channel). Although her career path led her down a different road, she brings the same sense of curiosity and determination to her work as a paralegal.
Jenn’s journey to the legal field began a little later in life. As a single mother of two, she earned a Paralegal degree, while working full-time as a hairstylist. With a license in cosmetology since the age of 18, she’s also owned and operated private salons, showing off her entrepreneurial spirit.
Her legal career took off in 2002 when she joined a Federal Criminal Defense attorney’s office. Since then, she’s worked with attorneys in various fields, including family law, medical malpractice, personal injury, business litigation, and estate planning.
What Jenn enjoys most about her work is her ability to solve problems and find resolutions while fostering compassion and understanding with clients. Drawing from her life experiences and legal expertise, she aims to make the legal process easier for clients.
Outside of work, Jenn’s interests are as diverse as her career. From tending to her beloved roses and vegetable garden to delving into biographies and historical research, she’s always on the lookout for new adventures.
Her greatest joy, however, comes from spending time with her four grandchildren, keeping them grounded as they navigate life’s journey. Jenn also dedicates time to tracing her family tree, uncovering the stories of her ancestors and celebrating her heritage.
In her free time, you’ll often find Jenn exploring flea markets or embarking on spontaneous road trips, enjoying the thrill of discovery and the chance encounters that come with it.
With her adventurous spirit, compassionate nature, and wealth of life experiences, Jenn Hawkins brings a unique perspective and lots of energy to the WH Law team.
