About Jennifer L. Beck
(formerly Jennifer L. Miller)
Background:
I have been a litigation and business attorney since 2009 and have represented many individuals,
business organizations, and professionals in a broad range of litigation and business matters. My
current practice includes a special interest in helping children and families. I enjoy developing
relationships with my clients so I can provide the best legal advice and counsel, and I am used to
thinking “outside the box” to find creative solutions.
I am originally from Southern California and had over 20 years of prior health care and business experience before attending law school as non-traditional student. My three children are now adults, but they remember attending law school classes with me on snow days! I believe that my prior experiences help me to be a better lawyer. When I am not helping my clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, gardening, and getting outside for a run.
