Our Staff

Jennifer has for 30+ years made her career as a legal assistant/paralegal in Idaho Falls. Prior to the Olsen Taggart merger, Jennifer worked for the firm most recently known as Petersen Moss Hall & Olsen (“Petersen Moss”) starting in early 1991 as a legal secretary for one of the originating partners, George Petersen, until his passing. She later assisted the two remaining attorneys, Stephen Hall and Nathan Olsen (the son of originating partner, Dennis Olsen).

Her experience in law office settings includes litigation support with cases in Idaho state courts, federal district court, Idaho Supreme Court, and U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, she has expertise in the documentation of estate planning and probate cases, real estate matters, and business. Jennifer is there to support the lawyers as they work through their busy caseloads. If she does not know the answer to a client’s question, she knows some excellent attorneys who do.
