Mission
Her vision for Amity Dispute Resolution is to provide better options for people where the traditional court system does not provide them with the appropriate resolution to their disputes, whether it is due to financial constraints, length of time it takes to get a trial date, the emotional and mental tolls, and limited resources. While this list is not exhaustive, Jenny believes that, for some people who are involved in legal disputes, there are more effective and quicker ways to resolve their disputes.
