Bio
Jill Shipley
Jennifer Junker is the utmost professional and I feel lucky I had the opportunity to work with her at GenSpring Family Offices. Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable about trust law and has a true gift of being able to translate complex estate planning concepts into comprehendible language. I have seen Jennifer build relationships with ultra-high net worth clients, trustees and beneficiaries of all ages and experience levels. She exudes great passion for her work that is infectious and always goes above and beyond. I cannot say enough about Jennifer's capabilities and talents!
David Corral, CPA, CGMA
Jennifer is, without doubt, one of the very best attorneys I have ever worked with. She is extremely bright, motivated and takes absolute pride in her work. She completes her projects on time. While Trust and Estates was Jennifer’s concentration before joining GenSpring she quickly realized that GenSpring needed help in the compliance and operational area as well and enthusiastically pitched in to help in these areas that were, at the time, not her core knowledge. Jennifer became a resource to GenSpring Compliance, writing and reviewing agreements not only trust documents but also agreements between SunTrust, GenSpring and client facing agreements for GenSpring. Her breath of knowledge and ability to quickly come up to speed on new areas is astounding. Her ability to think of alternative solutions with practical application constantly amazes me.
