Jennipher R. Martinez

Since 1995, Jennipher R. Martinez has focused her practice on family law, handling domestic relations issues, including divorce, the equitable division of marital property, and spousal support (formerly known as alimony) matters. She combines her vast experience with a compassionate and caring, yet aggressive approach to finding solutions for her clients. The decision to file for divorce is usually a difficult and emotional choice, which also affects a person’s finances, lifestyle, and future. As such, Jennipher frequently uses mediation, collaboration, and negotiation to work towards reaching an agreement regarding division of property. Divorces involve investigation and evaluation of property interests to ensure assets are divided and distributed equitably. When a resolution cannot be achieved amicably, Jennipher is equally prepared to vigorously pursue her clients’ rights in the courtroom. Admitted to practice law in Michigan, she regularly appears before judges in the Family Divisions of Ingham, Clinton, and Eaton Circuit Courts. Jennipher earned her undergraduate degree from Michigan State University and her law degree from the University of Chicago Law School (ranked third in the country). For three years, she served as a Guardian Ad Litem in the 30th Circuit Court in Ingham County, Michigan, protecting the rights of children. Jennipher’s goal in every divorce case is to handle the matter with compassion. She also aims to provide straightforward advice and counsel that enables her clients to make the best decisions possible for themselves.
