JEN BRANDON

SENIOR CASE MANAGER

Jen knew she wanted to help people from a young age. After considering a career in a medical field, she chose a different path that eventually led her to develop a pain management doctor’s office new personal injury practice. After getting that practice up and running, she made the move to Coast Law Group’s Personal Injury Team as a Case Manager where she enjoys helping each client with a personal touch. She literally goes the extra mile for our clients; just ask her!

Jen earned her bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design from Syracuse University graduating cum laude while working for the Syracuse law School Dean of Alumni Relations. Moving to California from the East Coast in the late nineties was a big step, but she decided she wanted to enjoy everything the area had to offer from surfing to real Mexican food. On weekends you can find her rocking a slow jog with her dog on one of the local beaches, watching football, or racing outrigger canoes in the Pacific somewhere between San Diego and Santa Barbara.
