These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“Jennifer Gastelum embodies what it means to be a Super Lawyer. Not only does she have an excellent understanding of the law, she uses that understanding to provide great results for her clients. Her dedication to clients is evident from the great things they say about her. She is also a wonderful role model. She is a single mother who is an example of what you can accomplish with the drive to provide for your family and do well for the community. On top of all that, she is very courteous when dealing with opposing counsel. You often hear that attorneys can be focused on arguing rather than doing what is best for the parties. Not so with Jennifer. She does what she can to create an environment that encourages the negotiation of a resolution that benefits all. I am all round impressed with Jennifer. She is a rising star in the legal community, and I sincere believe she deserves to be named a Super Lawyer.”
