About Jennifer
Jennifer Friedland earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Kentucky in 2001 and completed her Juris Doctor at Tulane University School of Law in 2006. Her educational trail mixed a liberal arts background with 3 years of legal background in New Orleans. Those years at Tulane prepared her for legal proceedings work and appeals practice that would follow early in her professional life.
After law school she secured admission to practice in Illinois and to the federal courts that serve the region. She used to be admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in 2007 and is also admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Those admissions have enabled her to handle things at both the trial and appellate ranges in state and federal venues.
Friedland is a companion at Momkus LLC. In that position she has handled appellate filings, briefs and oral arguments and controlled related trial work. Her courtroom and appellate experience tell how she prepares cases for attraction and how she advises trial counsel on preserving problems for review. Colleagues describe her as methodical in brief-writing and attentive to the document, characteristics that form the company’s strategy to appeals and complex litigation.
Her professional activities prolong beyond the office. She has been active within the DuPage County Bar Association, serving as chair of its Appellate Law Committee since 2014. She is a recent member of the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois and previously sat at the board of directors for the National Association for Down Syndrome from 2010 to 2014. Those roles have concerned organizing educational packages, mentoring younger attorneys and participating in community-orientated legal efforts.
Friedland maintains a presence in each the Chicago and Lisle offices of her firm. She divides time among the ones places to serve company and individual clients in matters that often contain appeals, federal questions and trial-level disputes. She currently handles appellate litigation and trial matters in state and federal courts.
